Six steps, in this order.
Add the licence URL before you attach the EA.
Save the EA file
Download the .ex5 file from our downloads page or Telegram.
You need a computer. EAs don’t install on a phone.
Only use files from our website or Telegram.
Open the data folder from inside MT5
In MetaTrader 5, use the menu:
Always open it from inside MT5. Each MT5 has its own folder, so it’s easy to pick the wrong one.
Copy the EA into Experts
Open MQL5 → Experts and paste the .ex5 file there.
MQL5/ ├── Experts/ ← Gold Crack EA .ex5 goes here ├── Presets/ ← .set preset file, if provided ├── Indicators/ ✕ not here ├── Scripts/ ✕ not here └── Files/ ✕ not here
Not in Indicators or Scripts.
Refresh the Navigator panel
In MT5, right-click Expert Advisors in the Navigator panel and click Refresh. The EA should appear.
Not there? Restart MT5. Still missing? Wrong folder, go back to step 02.
Allow WebRequest for the licence URL
Without this URL, the licence check fails and the EA stops.
Tick Allow WebRequest for listed URL, add the URL below, then click OK.
https://a689.link
Exactly as shown, no slash at the end.
Attach the EA to your chart
Open an XAUUSD chart and drag the EA onto it. Allow algo trading.
Check the lot size and risk settings.
Smiley face = running. Sad face = turn on Algo Trading in the toolbar.
Check these five before you leave it.
Tick each one.
Problems and fixes.
The EA is not in the Navigator list
Wrong folder. Use File → Open Data Folder, put the .ex5 in MQL5 → Experts, then refresh.
A licence error appears on the chart
Check the URL is exactly https://a689.link. Still there? Message us your account number and email.
The EA loads but never opens an order
Check you’re on your broker’s gold symbol. It may also be paused for news. This is normal.
It was running, then stopped mid-session
The licence check failed. Check the URL and your internet.
Trades were left unmanaged overnight
MT5 was closed or the PC slept. Use a Windows VPS.
Still stuck? Send us two things.
