Phase 1: Getting Your Aegis Grid License

1

Create Your Trading Account

Before you register your license, you must first create a MetaTrader 5 trading account with your broker. This account will be connected to the Aegis Grid algorithm. Note: Aegis Grid Algo strictly supports Cent Accounts only.

Why Cent Accounts are Strictly Enforced

By converting standard capital to cents (e.g. $2,000 deposit shows as 200,000 cents/USC inside MT5), the Aegis Grid algorithm has an exceptionally robust margin cushion to handle gold volatility safely without placing your account at risk.

Phase 2: Installation in MetaTrader 5

6

Install MetaTrader 5 on a VPS

For best results, we strongly recommend running Aegis Grid on a VPS (Virtual Private Server). This ensures your algo remains online 24/5 even when your personal computer is turned off.

How to set it up

If you don't have MetaTrader 5 installed, you can download it from the official website:

Download MetaTrader 5

After downloading the setup file, follow these steps:

  • Copy the setup file to your VPS and install it there.
  • Open MT5 and log in with the Account ID and Server you saved earlier.

Note about AWS EC2

A VPS is recommended for stable 24/7 operation. AWS EC2 is a popular choice, and new users may qualify for AWS Free Tier credits (approx. $200) to get started on your cloud setup.

Configure WebRequests:

Attach the EA to XAUUSD

Finally, attach the algorithm to a Gold chart with the correct timeframe settings.

  • Open XAUUSD (Gold) chart.
  • Select M1 (1 Minute) timeframe.
  • Navigator Panel → Expert Advisors → Aegis Grid Algo.
  • Drag onto the chart and ensure "Allow Algo Trading" is checked in the Common tab.

Phase 3: Confirming Activation

10

Verify the Dashboard

Look at the Aegis Grid Dashboard overlay on your MT5 chart. If everything is correct, it should show:

Status: Authorized
Expiry Visible

Check the top right corner of your chart for a Blue Cap or Smiley Face icon to confirm the EA is active.

How to Update to a New Version

Visit the Official Google Drive and download the new .ex5 file.

Open Folder

In MT5: File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Experts.

Delete the old version and paste the new version while MT5 is closed.

Verify

Launch MT5 and check the version number on your chart dashboard.
