Wild Trading Software

Edge Builder

Export & deploy

When a build completes you get a ready-to-run Expert Advisor and everything around it. Here is what is in the package and how to get it running on MetaTrader 5.

What you get

  • .ex5 — the compiled MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor, licensed to a single account.
  • .set — the parameter file you load into the EA's inputs.
  • .mq5 — the readable source (optional download).
  • A PDF / markdown report with the full metrics and verdict.

The output is an Expert Advisor (an automated strategy), not an indicator. You hold a personal-use licence for your own trading; you can't resell or redistribute it.

Install it on MetaTrader 5

  1. 1Open MetaTrader 5.
  2. 2Go to File → Open Data Folder and open MQL5\Experts\.
  3. 3Copy your .ex5 into that folder.
  4. 4Copy the .set into MQL5\Presets\ (or anywhere handy).
  5. 5Back in MetaTrader, right-click Navigator → Expert Advisors → Refresh.
  6. 6Drag the EA onto a chart with the correct symbol and timeframe (as in your blueprint).
  7. 7In the parameters window, click Load, select your .set, then OK.
  8. 8Enable AutoTrading in the toolbar — the button should turn green.
  9. 9Check the smiley face in the top-right of the chart to confirm the EA is active.

Where it can run

  • Demo accounts — fully supported, and the recommended place to test first.
  • Live accounts — supported.
  • Prop-firm accounts — technically supported, but some prop firms forbid external EAs in their terms. Check with your firm before trading.

The account licence lock

Each Expert Advisor is locked to the MetaTrader 5 account number you declared at build time. On start-up — and periodically while running — it checks the current account against the one it was signed for. If they don't match, the EA refuses to run.

Changing accounts

Moving the EA to a different MetaTrader 5 account means running a new build for that account. Plan your account number before you build.
