Does GoldBot Air work with Alpari?

Yes. GoldBot Air runs on any MetaTrader 5 account that offers XAUUSD (gold), so it works on Alpari as long as your account is on MT5. Alpari offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.

GoldBot Air reads the gold trend with EMA and ADX filters, manages trades with a recovery system and protects profits with daily targets. How GoldBot Air works.

How to set it up on Alpari

  1. Open or log in to a Alpari MT5 account. A Raw, ECN or zero-spread account usually has the lowest gold costs.
  2. Install MetaTrader 5 from your Alpari client area or our download page, and log in with your account number and the server shown by Alpari.
  3. Find gold in Market Watch. On Alpari it is XAUUSD or XAUUSD with a suffix (for example .m, .c or #). Use the one your account trades.
  4. Get your licence. Create a free GoldBot account and apply with your Alpari MT5 account number; your key appears in My Licence.
  5. Attach the EA. Copy GoldBot Air into MQL5/Experts, turn on Algo Trading, drag it onto the gold chart and paste your key.
  6. Keep it running. Use a Windows VPS close to Alpari's trading server so the EA trades 24/5.

Test on a demo account first and use settings you can afford: automated trading can lose money.
