How do I change the symbol of a MQL5 free robot?

Hello! I used BullishBearish MeetingLines RSI free robot, but when I compil;e it, it goers only to NVDA 1H chart, I want to use it for XAUUSD 1min. How can I change to that?
 
You need to contact the developer. In some cases "free" means "limited".

As you mentioned 'compile', I assume that its from codebase - Do you have a link?

If you have access to the code, It shouldn't be difficult for you to find where the symbol is hardcoded.

 

Hi

If you have the code, you can inspect it and see if there are any functions which prevents using this indicator on other TF and symbols. Sometimes scripts are limited to use only on some symbols/intervals, but it can be changed within the code.

If you don’t have access to the code – you need to contact the developer and ask him about the not-limited version or you can find your own programmer which rewrite you this indicator (if you know the specification and can describe the rules) without any limitations.

Best Regards

 
If the ticker/symbol is hardcoded in the EA, in your case NVDA,, then it won't work for other symbol. You gotta change the code to drag and drop of the EA in charts... something like SymbolName()

To replace NVDA with something universal, use Ctrl-F to find NVDA, and then Replace all instances of NVDA with _Symbol or Symbol().

To do the same for the hardcoded timeframe, use Ctrl-F to find PERIOD_H1, and then Replace all instances of PERIOD_H1 with _Period or Period().

Note that those are the most common ways that symbols and timeframes are hardcoded, but not every EA uses the same exact code elements. There's no way to be sure without seeing the code.
