Step 5: Restart MetaTrader 5
Restart MetaTrader 5 to ensure the new version is loaded.
Manual Updates
If you installed CORVUX RADAR manually (without MQL5 Market), you will need to update it manually when a new version is released.
Step 1: Download the New Version
Obtain the new CORVUX_RADAR.ex5 file from your source.
Step 2: Close MetaTrader 5
Close the MetaTrader 5 terminal completely.
Step 3: Open the Data Folder

Step 4: Replace the File
Copy the new CORVUX_RADAR.ex5 into the Indicators folder, replacing the existing file when prompted.

If a new corvux_logo.bmp is included in the update, copy it to Data Folder → MQL5 → Images, replacing the existing file.
Step 6: Restart MetaTrader 5
Launch MetaTrader 5 again. The new version will be loaded automatically.
Preserving Your Settings
CORVUX RADAR stores its state in global variables. Your panel position, minimized state, accumulated spread history, and selected symbol are preserved across updates and terminal restarts. No configuration is lost during an update.

Troubleshooting Updates
Issue: The Update button does not appear in My Purchases
Solution: Verify that your MQL5 account is logged in and the terminal has an active internet connection. If the update was just released, it may take a few hours to propagate through the Market system.
Issue: After updating, the panel behaves unexpectedly
Solution: Remove the indicator from the chart and add it again. This forces a clean reload of the new version. Your settings will be preserved through global variables.
Issue: The update was installed, but the version number still shows the old one
Solution: Restart MetaTrader 5. The version number is loaded at startup.
Issue: I lost my settings after updating
Solution: This should not happen under normal circumstances. CORVUX RADAR uses global variables to persist settings. If you experience settings loss, check that your MetaTrader 5 installation has write permissions to the global variables storage.
