STEP 1: Open MT5 Data Folder
Check where to place the files
MT5 menu: File → Open Data Folder
Windows: C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\{xxx}\
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/net.metaquotes.wine.metatrader5/...
VPS: The same steps apply to the MT5 on your remote connection
STEP 2: Place files
Place the contents of the unzipped file into the designated folders
| Destination (under the MQL5 folder) | File |
|---|---|
MQL5/Experts/ | MEGAMAX_EA.mq5 (v3.4 ★ the only one) |
MQL5/Presets/ | 11 .set files (MEGAMAX_XAUUSD.set, etc.; optional) |
MQL5/Profiles/Templates/ | 12 .tpl files (MEGAMAX_XAUUSD.tpl, etc. + default) |
💡 Just copy the zip's structure as-is into the MQL5 folder
STEP 3: Compile (.mq5 → .ex5)
Build in MetaEditor
- MT5 menu:
Tools → MetaQuotes Language Editor(or F4) - Double-click
Experts/MEGAMAX_EA.mq5in the Navigator on the left → F7 - →
MEGAMAX_EA.ex5is generated automatically (confirm "0 errors" in the log)
STEP 4: Enable AlgoTrading
Settings to allow automated trading
- MT5 top-right toolbar: click the "Algo Trading" button → turns green
- Menu:
Tools → Options → Expert Advisors - ✅ Check Allow Algo Trading
- ✅ Check Allow DLL imports (just in case)
STEP 5: Attach MEGAMAX EA to a single chart (trades 11 pairs)
Just drag one onto a single chart and it processes all 11 pairs internally
Features (Multi-Symbol Single EA)
- You only need to open one chart (e.g., GOLD,H1)
- Drag
MEGAMAX_EAonto that single chart → it processes 11 pairs (GOLD/EURUSD/GBPUSD/USDJPY/EURJPY/GBPJPY/CADJPY/NZDJPY/AUDUSD/USDCAD/USDCHF) simultaneously inside - Unaffected by the MT5 "Algo Trading auto-off on chart symbol change" setting (zero symbol changes)
- SymbolSuffix=AUTO auto-detects the broker-specific suffix (XM = none, Exness = "m," etc.)
- Automatic fallback from XAUUSD to GOLD (XM support)
- Per-pair optimal parameters are built into the EA (.set files are a redundant fallback)
🛡 v3.4 Risk Management Features (enabled by default)
- UseFridayClose: auto-closes all MEGAMAX positions at 22:00 Friday → avoids weekend-gap risk from holding over the weekend
- UseEquityStop: auto-closes all positions at 30%+ floating loss against balance → caps losses during crashes
- Early cut (built-in): force-closes lot1 if it moves ATR×0.3-0.5 against you within 3-5 bars of entry → suppresses DD
- Hold timeout (built-in): force-closes all positions after 48-240 bars (per pair) → avoids holding floating losses long term
- UseNewsFilter (OFF): option to avoid entries at 13/14/15:00 (around NY economic releases)
- Open any single chart (e.g., GOLD,H1 or EURUSD,H1)
- Drag Navigator → Expert Advisors → MEGAMAX_EA onto that chart
- Parameters dialog → leave
SymbolSuffix = AUTO→ OK - Check the following log in the Terminal → Experts tab:
[AUTO-SUFFIX] Detected: '' (e.g., EURUSD)[INIT OK] [0] XAUUSD ... [10] USDCHF=== MEGAMAX MULTI EA v3.4 startup complete: 11/11 pairs === - Trade evaluation starts for all 11 pairs (each pair's trades occur on that pair)
💡 Persistence: even if you close MT5, MEGAMAX EA is auto-restored on next launch (MT5's default profile-saving feature)
* Cleaned up 2026-05-28: the old MEGAMAX_MULTI_EA / MEGAMAX_LAUNCHER are deprecated and consolidated into this single file (MEGAMAX_EA.mq5)
Verify Operation
- MT5 Terminal → Experts tab:
[OK] XAUUSD H1 startup complete + MEGAMAX EA + MEGAMAX_XAUUSD.tpl appliedand similar log entries appear - The smiley face in the top right of each chart is smiling (😊) = the EA is running
- MEGAMAX_EA is shown next to the currency pair in the top right of each chart
- Trade tab: when the Asia Range Breakout condition is met, a position opens about once every few days to a few weeks
TROUBLESHOOTING
🛠 Troubleshooting
Q1. Charts don't open after running the Launcher
The broker's symbol names may have a suffix (.a / .ecn / _pro, etc.). Set the Launcher input SymbolSuffix to ".a" etc. and restart.
Q2. "Symbol not found" error
Right-click in the MT5 Market Watch panel → "Show All" → make the needed currency pairs visible. Pairs your broker doesn't offer can be skipped.
Q3. The EA doesn't trade / the smiley is 😞
Check that "Algo Trading" in the top right is green / check that the EA input "Allow automated trading" is true / insufficient margin ($5,000 recommended)
Q4. Template-application failure log
Check that the .tpl files are correctly placed in MQL5/Profiles/Templates/. As a fallback, MEGAMAX_default.tpl is attempted.
Q5. Insufficient-lot error (NotEnoughMoney)
The lot is too large for your balance. Change to LotMode=FIXED + FixedLot=0.01, or lower the Risk%.
