AI Advisor comes in two families:

  • Market (non-DLL) versions – installed from the marketplace, used mainly for licensing / activation.

  • DLL versions – installed from a ZIP, used as your daily working versions with one-click Copy and AI website buttons.

    Recommended flow:

    1. Install and test the DLL demo on demo accounts.

    2. When satisfied, purchase the matching Market (non-DLL) version.

    3. Run the Market version once on the same machine to activate the DLL version on live accounts.

    0. Common basics (for all manual installs)

    Open the data folder

    1. In your terminal, click: File → Open Data Folder.

    2. This opens the platform’s data directory, which contains MQL4 or MQL5.

    Refresh the Navigator (no restart needed)

    After copying files:

    1. Open the Navigator window (Ctrl+N).

    2. Right-click anywhere inside Navigator and choose Refresh.

    3. Your newly installed tools will appear under Experts / Utilities or Indicators, depending on the version.

    In normal conditions, you do not need to restart the terminal — a Navigator refresh is enough.


    1. Market (non-DLL) versions

    These 3 versions are installed directly from the marketplace and do not use DLLs:

    1. AI Advisor Utility – MT4 (Market, non-DLL)

    2. AI Advisor Utility – MT5 (Market, non-DLL)

    3. AI Advisor Indicator – MT5 (Market, non-DLL)

    They provide:

    • The full AI Advisor interface and modes list.

    • Licensing and activation for the matching DLL versions.

    They do not provide:

    • One-click Copy to clipboard.

    • “Open AI website” shortcut buttons (those are in the DLL builds).

    1.1 Installing any Market (non-DLL) version

    1. Open the Market tab in your terminal.

    2. Search for the specific AI Advisor product name.

    3. Click Download / Buy, then Install.

    4. Open the Navigator window → right-click → Refresh.

    5. Find the installed product:

      • Utility versions under Experts or Experts → Utilities.

      • Indicator version under Indicators.

    1.2 Running a Market version

    1. In Navigator, locate the product.

    2. Drag it onto any chart or right-click → Attach to a chart.

    3. Adjust input parameters if needed, then click OK.

    The Market version will:

    • Show the AI Advisor interface.

    • Handle license / activation for the corresponding DLL version on this machine.


    2. DLL versions

    These 3 versions are provided as separate DLL-enabled builds:

    1. AI Advisor Utility – MT4 (DLL)

    2. AI Advisor Utility – MT5 (DLL)

    3. AI Advisor Indicator – MT5 (DLL)

    They are what you’ll use every day once activated.
    Each can run in:

    • Demo mode – free, full UI, but demo accounts only.

    • Activated mode – unlocked on live accounts after running the matching Market version.

    All DLL versions require:

    1. The EA/indicator file ( .ex4 / .ex5 ) in the correct folder.

    2. The supporting .dll files in the Libraries folder.

    3. DLL imports allowed globally and for this specific program.

    3. Activation flow summary

    • Try first:

      • Install a DLL version that matches your platform and style (Utility/Indicator).

      • Use it freely on demo accounts.

    • Then buy once:

      • Purchase the corresponding Market (non-DLL) version from the marketplace.

      • Run it on the same machine to write the license/activation data.

    • Then use daily:

      • Continue using the DLL version as your main AI Advisor on live accounts.

      • No need to keep launching the Market version after activation (except when updating or re-authorizing).

    You do not need to purchase all six products.
    Choose the one Market version that matches how and where you trade, and let it activate the matching DLL build you’ll use every day.
