If this URL is not added, the EA cannot validate your license and will show INVALID LICENSE.
Step 3 — Install the EA into MetaTrader 5
- In MT5, click File → Open Data Folder
- Open folder:
MQL5 → Experts - Copy the downloaded Pinoy Pip Hunter Pro.ex5 file into the Experts folder
- Restart MetaTrader 5
(Optional)
Place your SET file somewhere easy to find.
Step 4 — Enable Algo Trading
- In MT5, click Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
- Enable: ✅ Allow algorithmic trading
✅ Allow DLL imports (if required by your version) - Click OK
- Make sure the Algo Trading button at the top of MT5 is ON (green)
Step 5 — Attach the EA to the Chart
- Open a chart:
XAUUSD (recommended) - Recommended timeframe:
M1 or M15 (depending on your strategy version) - In Navigator:
Expert Advisors → Pinoy Pip Hunter Pro - Drag it onto the chart
- In Inputs:
- Load your recommended SET file
- Enter your License Key
- Click OK
The EA will now contact the license server and validate your key.
Step 6 — Confirm Successful Activation

LICENSE ACTIVE
Displayed on the chart dashboard.
The EA is now ready to trade.
