Installation

Step-by-step installation

  1. 01

    After purchase, look for an email from GoldBridge containing your compiled .ex5 file (bound to your MT5 account number).

  2. 02

    Open MT5 Data Folder

    File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Experts. Copy your .ex5 file into this folder.

  3. 03

    Refresh the Navigator

    Ctrl + N → Expert Advisors → right-click → Refresh. GoldBridge appears in the list.

  4. 04

    Attach to XAUUSD chart

    Open any XAUUSD chart. Drag GoldBridge from Navigator onto the chart.

  5. 05

    Configure

Keep it running around the clock

For continuous, hands-off operation, host MT5 on a Windows VPS. Any provider with low latency to your broker server will work — what matters is uptime and connection stability.

  • Windows Server 2019 or later
  • Minimum 2GB RAM
  • Low latency to broker server
  • Stable network & auto-restart on reboot
Troubleshooting

Common issues

Confirm .ex5 is in MQL5/Experts folder, not Scripts or Indicators.
AutoTrading is disabled. Enable it in the toolbar. Also check: Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → Allow algo trading.
Verify both XAUUSD and XAUEUR are in Market Watch. Confirm $200+ balance.
The EA is compiled for your specific MT5 account number. Confirm you are running it on the exact account registered at checkout.
