Installation Guide

After purchase, you receive a ZIP file containing the EA, presets, and documentation. Extract it to any folder on your computer.

• The ZIP contains: EA/ folder, Presets/ folder, Docs/ folder, README_INSTALL.txt
• No installation wizard — just extract and copy files

In MetaTrader 5, go to File → Open Data Folder. This opens the folder where MT5 stores all EAs, indicators, and data.

• The path is typically: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\<hash>\
• Each MT5 installation has a unique hash folder

Copy all files from the EA/ folder into MQL5/Experts/ in your MT5 data folder.

• Copy: Liquidity_Pro.mq5, Liquidity_Pro.ex5, and all 23 XAUUSD_*.mqh files
• All .mqh files MUST be in the same folder as the .mq5
• If .ex5 doesn't load, open .mq5 in MetaEditor and press F7 to recompile

Copy all .set files from the Presets/ folder into MQL5/Presets/Expert/ in your MT5 data folder.

• Create the Presets/Expert/ folder if it doesn't exist
• 6 preset files: Default, NoFilter, Balanced, Strict, Lenient, HighScoreOnly

In MT5, open the Navigator panel (Ctrl+N). Right-click "Expert Advisors" and select "Refresh".

• You should see "Liquidity_Pro" in the Expert Advisors list
• If you don't see it, verify the files are in MQL5/Experts/

Open an XAUUSD chart (M5 timeframe recommended). Drag "Liquidity_Pro" from the Navigator onto the chart.

• Use M5 timeframe for the chart (EA reads 4H and 1H internally)
• Make sure the symbol matches your broker (XAUUSD, XAUUSD.sd, GOLD, etc.)

In the EA settings window, go to the "Inputs" tab. Click "Load" and select "Liquidity_Pro_Default.set".

• This loads all 80 parameters at once — no manual configuration needed
• Choose a different preset if you want different filter settings
• Click "Reset" first if you see old values from a previous EA

In the EA settings, check "Allow live trading" on the Common tab. Click OK. Ensure the AutoTrading button in the toolbar is enabled.

• Look for a smiley face icon in the top-right of the chart (green = running)
• Check the Experts tab for "Liquidity Pro initialized" and "AUTO-TRADING ENABLED"
• If you see "DECISION-SUPPORT MODE", auto-trading is OFF — re-check settings

Watch the Experts tab for diagnostic messages. The EA logs every analysis cycle, showing score, state, and detected components.

• DIAG messages show: trend, session, sweep, CHoCH, BOS, displacement, OB, FVG, score
• When a setup forms (Score ≥ 60), the EA will execute automatically
• No setup = no trade — this is normal (4-6 trades per month)

Always run on a demo account for at least 1-2 weeks before going live. Verify the EA executes trades correctly and matches your expectations.

• Open a demo account with your broker
• Attach the EA to the demo XAUUSD chart
• Monitor trade execution, win rate, and behavior
• Only switch to live when you're confident
