Get your Expert Advisor

Each archive holds both files you need plus a short set-up sheet. Download the one that matches your platform — if you are not sure, MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are separate programs and your broker told you which one you have.

MetaTrader 4

The original platform. Most South African brokers still default to it.
  • DashboardFeedCloud.mq4
  • CloudPost.mqh
  • READ ME FIRST.txt
or grab the files singly: .mq4 · .mqh

MetaTrader 5

The newer platform. Netting or hedging accounts both work.
  • DashboardFeedCloud.mq5
  • CloudPost5.mqh
  • READ ME FIRST.txt
or grab the files singly: .mq5 · .mqh

The four steps that matter

  1. Put both files into MetaTrader's MQL4\Experts (or MQL5\Experts) folder — File → Open Data Folder. The EA will not compile without its .mqh beside it.
  2. Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → tick Allow WebRequest for listed URL, type https://tradelens.co.za and press Enter. Clicking OK without pressing Enter throws it away, and this is the single most common reason it does not work.
  3. Create an ingest token on your Account page and paste it into the EA's Ingest token input. It is shown in full once.
  4. Drag the EA onto one chart, set Post to the hosted API to true and the base URL to https://tradelens.co.za. Tick Allow live trading on the Common tab — MetaTrader uses that same tick for internet access, and the EA cannot place a trade.

Trading several markets? One chart still covers all of them. The EA reports the whole account — gold, indices, currencies, whatever is open — not the chart it sits on, and the dashboard splits performance by symbol on its own. If you want the indicator and level readings for more than one market, list them in the EA's AnalysisSymbols input, like XAUUSD,US30. Two copies on two charts will not break anything, but they double the traffic and send every alert twice.
