On this page

By the end of this chapter, your RelicusRoad indicator will be drawing on a live chart on your own screen. The steps are the same for RelicusRoad Pro and for every single indicator.

Pick the one section below that matches your trading platform and skip the rest. One license covers MT4 and MT5, plus TradingView for the indicators that have a TradingView version.

Note: A license bought on relicusroad.com works on 3 computers at once. To move to a new computer, remove an old one on your account page. On the MQL5 Market, MT4 and MT5 are sold separately and MQL5 handles the license.

Have your purchase confirmation email open while you work. It holds your license key and download links.

TradingView

TradingView runs in your browser, so there are no files to download. Access is granted to your TradingView username instead.

  1. Give us your TradingView username. Enter it on the page you see after paying, or reply to your purchase email with it. We add it within 24 hours.
  2. Find the script. On any chart, click Indicators, then Invite-only scripts, and pick your RelicusRoad indicator.
  3. Click the star icon next to its name. That saves it to your favorites, so you can find it again fast.
  4. Set up mobile, if you want it. Log in to the TradingView mobile app with the same account. The indicator is under Indicators, then Favorites.

If nothing appeared, jump to the troubleshooting section at the end of this chapter.

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5

MetaTrader loads indicators from a folder on your computer, so you copy one file by hand. It sounds more technical than it is.

  1. Download the file. Use the MT4 or MT5 button in your purchase email.
  2. Copy it into the Indicators folder. In MetaTrader, click File, then Open Data Folder. Go into MQL4, then Indicators (MT4), or MQL5, then Indicators (MT5), and drop the file there.
  3. Restart MetaTrader, or right-click Indicators in the Navigator and choose Refresh.
  4. Allow the license check. Open Tools, then Options, then Expert Advisors. Tick Allow WebRequest for listed URL and add https://relicusroad.com, then tick Allow DLL imports.
  5. Put it on a chart. Drag the indicator from the Navigator onto the chart. In its Inputs tab, enter the email you bought with and your license key.

The license is tied to the computer, not to your trading account, so you can switch brokers and accounts on the same computer freely.

Careful: A big Windows update can change your computer enough to count as a new one. If that happens, remove the old entry on your account page.

Bought on the MQL5 Market? Open MetaTrader, go to the Market tab, then Purchased, and click Install. The indicator appears in the Navigator window.

Check that it worked

Before you move on, look at your chart and confirm all of this:

  • The indicator loaded and no error message appeared.
  • Lines, zones and labels are drawing on the chart, not just an empty panel.
  • Alerts fire when you test them on past price data.
  • Your license is active, on MT4 or MT5.
  • Your settings are saved as a template, so you can put the same setup on another chart in one click.

If every line is ticked, the installation is done.

If something goes wrong

Most installation problems are one of five things, and all five have a quick fix.

The indicator will not load on MT4 or MT5. Check the file really is in the Indicators folder and not in the folder above it. Then check Windows has not blocked the download: right-click the file, choose Properties, and tick Unblock if you see it. Restart the terminal afterwards.

It says the license is invalid. Check the email and license key in the indicator’s Inputs match your purchase email exactly, and that https://relicusroad.com is in the WebRequest list. If you already use 3 computers, remove one on your account page. Check that the platform has an internet connection, since the license is verified online. If it still refuses, contact support with your order details.

TradingView says the study was not found. Look under Indicators, then Invite-only scripts, and make sure you are logged into the TradingView username you gave us. Access can take up to 24 hours. If it still hides, clear your browser cache and reload.

Everything is slow or laggy. On TradingView, reduce how much chart history is loaded, close indicators you are not using, and consider a higher TradingView plan. On MetaTrader, the same idea applies: fewer charts and less history.

Your mobile favorites are missing. Give it up to five minutes to sync, then reopen the app.

Still stuck? Join our Discord server and post in the #installation-help channel. Include your platform and version, a screenshot of any error message, and your order number. Our support team typically responds within 24 hours.

Remember:

  • TradingView is granted to your account; MetaTrader needs a file in the Indicators folder and a restart.
  • On MT4 and MT5 your license works on 3 computers at once, with any trading account.
  • Save a template as soon as the chart looks right, and you never have to do this twice.

The indicator is on your chart now, but it is still on its factory settings. Next, turn to First setup and make the chart yours.
