The number of users has surpassed 700. Currently, he offers Dream Agent FX, an evolution of MultiAgent.

In this series, we focus on FX automated trading systems, especially EAs (automatic trading systems) that run on MetaTrader 4 (MT4), and have Makoto Kakizawa navigate the knowledge and know-how to operate them professionally.

Hello. In the previous section we moved to the “Practical Part” and explained how to set up an EA. As mentioned last time, the setup of the EA can be broadly classified into the following three steps:

• MT4 option settings to run the EA
• Installation (embedding) of the EA into MT4
• Operational settings for the EA

Last time we progressed to “Installation (embedding) of the EA into MT4,” so this time we will explain the third step, the “Operational settings for the EA.”
