MQL4 TUTORIAL BASICS - 119 MYFXBOOK EA INSTALLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
https://mql4tutorial.com
In this video, we are going to install the expert advisor for my FX book.
That is a statistics website.
So let's find out how to do that with Metatrader4.
If you go to Google and type in MyFxBook, you will find this website.
It provides statistics. I already have an account so I can sign in with Google here.
I have my so-called portfolio, a lot of systems, and now I can open one of my systems and see all the statistical data.
This is very helpful. So let's install the MyFxBook expert advisor on our device.
Here is the link.
You could also do a Google search.
So let's click on the link.
The EA installer is downloaded.
I will now double click it.
In my case, it comes up right away.
Usually it will need some additional files.
I have done this installation process for MQL5, a few minutes ago.
This is for MQL4 and Metatrader4.
Both files require the dotnet framework from Microsoft to be installed.
This would take a few additional steps, but as I did it before it isn't required anymore.
So I can now pick one of my installation directories.
In this case, I will pick the Metatrader4 installation.
You can run Metatrader4 and Metatrader5 on the same computer.
This is the right entry. So let's click on install.
Now it says the installation was complete and I should restart my Metatrader.
So let's click on finish, file, exit.
And after you have restarted the Metatrader, you should see the expert advisor here in the navigator view.
It's called MyFX book. So let's drag this one on the chart.
Yes, I really want to stop the current one and replace it with the Myfxbook Expert Advisor.
You can simply open a new chart.
If you run expert advisors for all the currency pairs that you need.
Please click on depencies and see if those entries here exist.
Afterwards please click on inputs, type in your credentials for your free MyFxbook account.
I will now use a wrong password and click on okay.
And that will cause that the Expert Advisor is right away removed from the chart.
So this is a mistake.
Now you'll see, we have never published anything.
Actually auto trading is disabled here.
That is another common mistake.
So let's enable that and try it again.
This is still the wrong password.
Now I click on okay.
And ot once again it was removed.
Now let's click on view, terminal, journal and you will actually see the entry here.
Expert MyFxBook has been removed.
This is one of the traps that you need to know.
Another one is you need to click on tools, options, and allow DLL imports on the expert advisors tab here.
So let's do that, click on okay.
Drag the expert advisor on the chart.
And this time it says the statement was uploaded successfully.
So now everything works as expected.
And in this little video you have learned how to install and troubleshoot the, MYFX book expert advisor for Metatrader4.
And you have done it yourself within a few minutes.
