How to set it up on FP Markets
- Open or log in to a FP Markets MT5 account. A Raw, ECN or zero-spread account usually has the lowest gold costs.
- Install MetaTrader 5 from your FP Markets client area or our download page, and log in with your account number and the server shown by FP Markets.
- Find gold in Market Watch. On FP Markets it is XAUUSD or XAUUSD with a suffix (for example .m, .c or #). Use the one your account trades.
- Get your licence. Create a free GoldBot account and apply with your FP Markets MT5 account number; your key appears in My Licence.
- Attach the EA. Copy GoldBot Air into MQL5/Experts, turn on Algo Trading, drag it onto the gold chart and paste your key.
- Keep it running. Use a Windows VPS close to FP Markets's trading server so the EA trades 24/5.
Account checklist
| Check | What we suggest |
| Platform | MetaTrader 5 (MT4 only with the legacy v1.6 build) |
| Symbol | XAUUSD, with whatever suffix your FP Markets account uses |
| Spread on gold | Ideally under 25 points ($0.25); Raw or ECN accounts are usually cheapest |
| Account size | From about $1,000 on USD accounts, or from $500 on cent accounts |
| Leverage | High enough that margin stays a small part of the balance |
| Uptime | A VPS, so MetaTrader runs 24/5 |
Test on a demo account first and use settings you can afford: automated trading can lose money.
