 TV2MT5 — Setup Instructions
================================================================

YOUR 9 STEPS TO TRADING
-----------------------

STEP 1 — Download
  Download the TV2MT5 bridge and EA from the download page on
  https://tv2mt5.online . Click "Download for Windows" and save
  the zip file.

STEP 2 — Extract
  Open the zip file and extract it to a location that is easy
  to access.

STEP 3 — Copy the EA
  Open the extracted folder. Copy  EA_Streamer.ex5 .
  Then open your MetaTrader 5 data folder:
  File menu -> Open Data Folder.

STEP 4 — Paste the EA
  Inside the MT5 data folder, open  MQL5  then  Experts .
  Paste  EA_Streamer.ex5  into this folder.

STEP 5 — Attach the EA
  Go back to MetaTrader 5, right click and refresh if EA doesn't appears and attach the EA to any symbol.

STEP 6 — Turn on Algo Trading
  The Algo Trading button in the MT5 toolbar must be GREEN.

STEP 7 — Run the bridge
  Run the TV2MT5 bridge application (mt5tv-bridge.exe).
  (Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unknown app —
   click "More info" -> "Run anyway".)
  Wait for the bridge to connect to MetaTrader 5. Leave it
  running while you trade. It listens on port 8443 on your
  machine only (127.0.0.1) — no router or firewall setup is
  needed.

STEP 8 — Launch
  Return to https://tv2mt5.online and click "Launch
  TradingView". When prompted, allow access to the bridge.

STEP 9 — Done
  Your TradingView charts are now connected to MetaTrader 5.
  You can start trading.


TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
  "Please run bridge" banner    -> mt5tv-bridge.exe is not running.
                                   Start it (Step 7).
  "Please attach EA" banner     -> EA_Streamer.ex5 is not attached
                                   to that symbol's chart (Step 5).
  Orders rejected with          -> The Algo Trading button is not
  "AutoTrading disabled"           green. Turn it on (Step 6).
  No live data / chart empty    -> Make sure MT5 is running and
                                   logged in, then reload the page.

  Logs are written to  logs\log-DD.MM.YYYY.log  next to the exe —
  include them when reporting a bug.


REPORT A BUG
------------
  Email: support@tv2mt5.online
  Please include: what you did, what happened, your MT5 broker,
  and the log file from the folder above.


NOTES
-----
  * The bridge talks only to your own MT5 on your own machine.
    Nothing is sent to any server except license verification.
  * Start the bridge BEFORE or AFTER opening the chart — either
    order works; the page reconnects automatically.
  * To update: replace mt5tv-bridge.exe and EA_Streamer.ex5,
    restart the bridge, and reload the chart page (Ctrl+F5).
