How to install Speedmax Algo V1.0

Watch the 3-minute video or download the illustrated PDF guide: 16 steps with real screenshots, from download to a running robot on your MetaTrader 5.

Before you start: depositing less than $1,000?
Open a Cent account, not a standard account. On a cent account your balance shows in cents ($100 shows as 10,000), so the robot can size every gold trade at a sensible risk. On a small standard account even the smallest gold lot (0.01) can risk far too much. With $1,000 or more a standard or ECN account is fine.
Most brokers offer Cent accounts: ask for one when you open your MT5 account. This is not financial advice.
