I changed the settings for Alpha to create new settings long time ago and for now this settings is having permanent lot size for every pair:
Alpha EA with PercentEquityTrailing = 1 and with RSI settings.
So, check this attachments: alpha_RSI_settings_19pairs_10000deposit_size.zip in this post https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/178132/page28
I set some settings to false so you can compare my settings with yours.
Because the settings here alpha_RSI_settings_19pairs_10000deposit_size.zip is for fixed lot size with no any MM.
Stopped!
My version has stopped working altogether!
It stopped on one install of IBFX MT4, so I re-installed in new directories, downloaded EA and indicators, and it seems to be doing nothing.
The EA "appears" on the chart, but doesn't seem to want to download the history, as all trends are showing blank...
Weird....
preparation of Metatrader to trade with EA, part #1
1. Install Metatrader. IBFX in my case.
Open demo account:
2. Close all charts.
Than go to Tools - Options and do like this:
or (which I prefer more):
and estimat about how many bars you can see on the chart. It is related to the memory of your computer. Author of Alpha and Electra said that 1000 bars is enough and this number is nothing for memory of your PC.
So, do like this one:

3. You opened demo account and your Metatrader is connected to the broker's server. You can see it:
Sometimes, the Metatrader can be disconnected from the broker's server. In this case you need to find about what the problem came from. You need to scan the broker's server.
For scanning the broker's server for connectivity:
right mouse click on account and 'open an account' window will be opened, write anything you want, say "yes" to "i agree to subscribe ..." and press "Next".
Than press "Scan":
So, we see 141 ms. My Metatrader is having connection to the broker. And if I still can not connect it so it is something with my computer settings and so on.
Press "Cancel". Because we do not need the other account, right? We just scanned ... We already opened demo account (see previous post).

4. VPS.
If we are using VPS or some remote servers so the service pay prevent to use some tools. Which tools? For example, some dll files for forex-tsd news indicator or Newstrader EA for example. So, if something does not work inside Metatrader in VPS, or you scanned and found that your Metatrader should be connected with the broker's server and in reality - not so do the following:
from virtual desktop, right-click on 'my computer' and select properties. Then advanced tab - performance and click 'settings' and then 'data execution prevention' tab. Exclude MT4 terminal.exe from DEP.
This info is related to the members who are using NewsTrader EA or any similar tool on VPS and could not solve the connectivity problem.

5. Symbols.
Next step to prepare Metatrader to trade by EAs: check the symbols.
Righ mouse click on this window:
Select 'Symbols', click on 'Symbols'. And you will see the following window:
So, which symbol do we need to trade? Which symbol do we need to be in 'Market Watch' window?
Click on symbol name and 'Show'.
If you want to trade 19 pairs so those 19 pairs should be visible in in 'Market Watch' window. If not -
Click on symbol name and 'Show'.

6. Download data from broker's server to your Metatrader.
If we are testing or trading by EA (or manually) some pair so we need the data for this pair from the broker. Because if we installed new MetaTrader so we do not have the data. Of course Metatrader can download it by itself by it will take may be many hours or day and your EA will not trade for those days.
So, what to do?
Next step is downloading the data for your selected symbol.
For example, I know that I will use AUDJPY. I checked or I installed this pair (see previous post). Now: go to 'Tools' and 'History Center'.
And I see that there is no any data for this pair in my Metatrader:
So, double mouse on every timeframe of this pair and the data of this broker will be downloaded automatically to your Metatrader:
Now, if you want to attach EA to AUDJPY chart so open the chart with your timeframe you want to trade, right mouse click on the chart and select 'Refresh' and you can see:
It is the data from History Center of your MetaTrader was downloaded to the chart.
Now you can attach EA to AUDUSD H1 timeframe.

7. Attach EA to the chart.
It is simple. Just checking the settings in Metatrader and in EAs:
You did everything, you checked everything, you attached EA to the chart and EA is not trading?
Check this one:
You must see the error, or you will see the name of indicator (if EA is using some indicator but you do not have it inside your Metatrader, or some other errors).
That's all.
It was about how to attach EA to the chart step by step.
Updated visual statement for Alpha with PercentEquityTrailing = 1; 19 pairs:
And it is performance for this settings with RAS service:
Other settings of this EA (Alpha EA with PercentEquityTrailing = 1 and with RSI settings; Alpha RSI for small deposit size) are not connected with RAS yet. No one asked but ... "price: free" on the image means: free for elite members to use RAS tool to trade the signals generated by this EA/settings.
