Installation and Setup

Illustrations

TL;DR

Installing Sword is shorter than you think, because all six indicators are already embedded in the EA file — no extra files to copy · the steps are: place the file in the Experts folder, restart the program, then drag it onto a gold chart · while attaching there is a box to tick allowing DLL files; you must tick it, otherwise the license system will not work · once attached, the system runs the first license check automatically

When to use this feature

Do this once when you start using the panel · and reread it when you move to a new machine or reinstall the program

How to use

Follow along one step at a time · step one, place the Sword file in the Experts folder of your MT5 program · step two, close the program and open it again; you will see the Sword name in the Navigator window · step three, open a gold chart on the hourly timeframe, then double-click the Sword name in the Navigator

When the settings dialog pops up, find the row about allowing DLL files and tick it on · this box matters a lot, because the Sword license system runs through this kind of helper file · without the tick the panel comes up incomplete and cannot verify the license · then press OK

The last step is to wait · the EA contacts the server to check the license by itself; it takes only a few seconds · once it passes, the panel switches to the full set · a machine that has passed the check is remembered for about one hour; within that window you can close and reopen without checking again

Pro Tip · Mr. Bom

Create one separate MT5 profile just for Sword · opening the program to a familiar layout removes a lot of stress · and always keep a note of which machines are installed and which day the license check passed
