ARRAY BREAKOUT 3.04 · GETTING STARTED

One place only: the MQL5 Market and why

We do not send files, take transfers or appoint agents. This page explains why we chose that, and exactly what you do from start to finish. Every point here you can verify yourself inside MetaTrader 5.

THE FIRST REASON, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE

An EA has to keep working around the clock — not stop because a developer's server went down

EAs sold privately usually tie their licence to the developer's own server: before it works, the EA asks that server “is this machine, this account, allowed to trade?”. If the server goes down, the domain expires, the developer's connection breaks, or one day the developer stops doing this, your EA stops trading while the market is still moving — and the trades it is holding are left unmanaged.

We had our own licence server designed, account lock and all. We cancelled the whole plan, because it adds a point of failure inside your setup for no good reason.

An MQL5 Market licence is checked by MetaTrader itself when the EA loads on the chart. No server of ours sits anywhere in your trading path, so we cannot stop your EA even if we wanted to — and if we disappeared entirely, the copy you installed would carry on doing its job.

That is what taking safety seriously means here: a file that passed review, no external code, no central server to fail, and no loose file for anyone to tamper with.

WHY ONLY THERE

Six reasons, all of them in the user's favour

The file you get is the file MQL5 reviewed

Every version has to pass automated testing on MetaQuotes' servers before it can be listed: several symbols, several timeframes, several deposit sizes, checked for requests the server would reject, for runtime errors, and for any call to a DLL or outside code. A file that fails is not listed · We never say “no bugs” — no software can — only that it passed this review, and that we fix what we find ourselves.

Nothing can hide inside the file

Market products may not use DLLs, may not launch external programs, and may not read or write outside their own folder. All the EA can do is read prices, send orders through MT5 and write its own log · An .ex5 passed around in a chat group carries none of those guarantees, and that is the most common way password stealers reach traders.

Installed and updated from inside MT5

Get it in the Market tab and the EA appears in the Navigator at once — nothing to download, nothing to copy anywhere. When a new version is out MT5 tells you and updates it in one click, so everyone runs the same version at the same time.

The licence counts machines, not trading accounts

One licence covers 10 machines (a PC or a VPS is one activation each), and on those machines you may run as many trading accounts, at as many brokers, as you like. Changing broker or opening another account costs nothing · Note: moving to a new machine or reinstalling Windows uses one more activation, so plan a VPS move before you make it.

A free demo first

The Demo button on the MT5 listing gives you a trial version that runs fully in the Strategy Tester (not on a live account), on your own broker's data, over whatever period you want to see — which is why we never hand a file to anyone “to try”.

Payment and refunds sit with MQL5, not with us

Your record lives in your own MQL5 account, disputes have an intermediary, and you never transfer money to a stranger or send anyone a receipt.

STEP BY STEP

Six steps, from no MQL5 account to running on a VPS

Do this once; MT5 handles the rest by itself.

  1. Create a free MQL5 accountAt mql5.com with your e-mail address; confirm the address and keep the username and password — MT5 asks for them in the next step.
  2. Sign in to MQL5 inside MT5Tools → Options → Community, then your username and password. If it does not go through, the Journal tab shows MQL5.community authorization failed — check the credentials again.
  3. Top up your MQL5 accountmql5.com → Profile → Payments → Deposit. The channels most users have are debit/credit cards (Visa/Mastercard enabled for international online payments) and PayPal; the live list for your country is on that page. Top up the price shown on the listing (in USD); your bank applies its own exchange rate.
  4. Get the EA in the Market tabIn MT5: Toolbox (Ctrl+T) → Market → search “Array Breakout” → Buy → confirm with your MQL5 password · The EA then appears under Navigator → Expert Advisors → Market.
  5. Put it on a chartOpen a gold chart (XAUUSD, or whatever your broker calls it) on H1, drag Array Breakout onto it, tick Allow Algo Trading, press OK and switch on the Algo Trading button in the toolbar. The defaults are the recommended settings; always read “Capital and the ladder” in the manual first.
  6. If you use a VPSSign in to MQL5 in MT5 on the VPS and install from the Market there as well (one of your ten activations) · The MQL5 VPS you can rent from inside MT5 works too, and is the simplest option if you have never set one up.
QUESTIONS

About getting it and the licence

How many trading accounts?+

Unlimited. The licence counts machines, not accounts: on one machine, run as many accounts and brokers as you like.

Do I pay again if I change broker?+

No. The licence is not tied to an account number or a broker.

Moving a VPS or reinstalling Windows?+

That uses one more activation of the ten. Planning the move first saves them.

Do new versions cost extra?+

No. Every update in the 1.x line is included, and MT5 tells you when one is out.

Can I have the file to try it?+

There is no file to hand out — use the Demo button on the listing and test it fully in the Strategy Tester · Any Array Breakout file from anywhere else is not genuine, gets no updates, and we support none of them.

If this website disappeared, would the EA stop?+

No. The licence is checked by MetaTrader and MQL5, never by a server of ours. This site only explains the system; it is not in your trading path.

The price here differs from the listing?+

The price on the MQL5 listing is always the one that counts.
