Deploy a Nebula system to MetaTrader 5 or 4

Open Deploy

Click the Deploy tab, or Deploy on a system in Results. On Free a banner reads "One free deploy: one system, MT5 only."

Deploy

Pick Single systems and a system

Leave Mode on Single systems. Pick a system in the list. Selected system shows its curve, Score, Profit factor, Steadiness, Max drawdown, Win rate and Trades.

Check the platform badge

Under Install to MetaTrader a badge reads MT5 or MT4, with "Detected (your broker). Installs as a MetaTrader 5 EA." The platform follows the terminal you are connected to. There is no switch.

Check the Experts folder

Experts folder fills itself and reads "✓ Deploys to" your broker, server, account number and type. While Nebula is connected to an account, the folder is locked to that account's terminal. Disconnect to use Browse.

Leave the risk as tested

Risk per trade (%) starts at the risk the system was tested at and says "✓ Matches the test". Change it only if you mean to. The stats shown no longer apply at a different risk. Reset to sim risk puts it back.

Check the news buffer

News buffer (min) shows minutes before and after high impact news, marked against the test. Reset to tested puts it back.

Press Deploy

Press the gold button in the bar at the bottom: Deploy to MT5 (or Deploy to MT4). On Free it reads Deploy to MT5, your one free deploy. The bar beside it says Demo account or Live account with the account number.

Answer the checks

Nebula may ask:

• This is your one free deploy (Free). Press Yes, deploy this one or Cancel.
• Risk mismatch: deploy blocked if you changed the risk.
• Drawdown fit if the system's tested drawdown is past your limit. It offers a smaller size.
• Account exposure check if other EAs already run on the account.
• Deploy with these settings? always, last. Tick I agree to run with these settings, then Deploy.

Watch the compile

The bar shows each step, then "Deployed" and the file name: the system's name, then its symbol and timeframe, such as <name>_EURUSD_H1.mq5. Verify & preview has tabs EA Source, Deploy History and Meta Terminal (the full compile log).

Let Nebula put it on its chart (Windows, MetaTrader 5)

With MetaTrader 5 on Windows, Nebula puts the EA on a chart of its own symbol and timeframe. MetaTrader closes and reopens once. Open trades stay with your broker. If it could not, press Put it on a chart now and follow its Fix it line.

Or attach it by hand (MetaTrader 4 or a Mac)

In MetaTrader open the Navigator (Ctrl+N), expand Expert Advisors › Nebula, then drag the EA onto a chart of the same symbol and timeframe. In the dialog allow algorithmic trading and press OK. Not there yet? Right click Expert Advisors and press Refresh.

Turn on Algo Trading

Press Algo Trading in MetaTrader's toolbar so it turns green. Full steps for both platforms: Turn on Algo Trading in MT4 and MT5.

Confirm it reported

Mission Control shows the EA once it reports from its chart. "Loaded, but it has not reported yet." is normal for a minute. Mission Control live tracking is Starter and up.
