Raptor EA setup guide

Set up Raptor EA in about 15 minutes.

Test on any broker's demo account.

Your license

Before you start

  1. 1

    Prepare your MT5 account

    ~3 min

    Your license is linked to one MT5 account. Note these two details — you need them at checkout.

    1. Open MT5 and click File → Login to Trade Account.
    2. Write down your MT5 account ID (the Login number, e.g. 10001234).
    3. Write down the exact Server name (e.g. Exness-MT5Trial8). Copy it letter for letter.
    Free demoUse an MT5 demo/trial account from any broker.
    You'll know it worked when…You have your account ID and exact server name written down.
    Common mistakeTypos in the server name. If the server you register differs from your MT5 server, the license check fails.
  2. 2

    Register your license at checkout

    ~3 min

    On the pricing page, pick your plan and enter the MT5 details from the previous step.

    1. Open the pricing page and choose your plan.
    2. Enter your MT5 account ID and the exact server name.
    3. Submit the form. Paid plans are activated once your payment is confirmed.
    You'll know it worked when…You see “Registration Complete”, and the license card at the top of this page shows your plan after you sign in.
    Common mistakeRegistering a demo account on a live plan (or the other way round) — the server will refuse it.
    Open pricing page
  3. 3

    Download and install the EA file

    ~3 min

    Download the EA from your license card, then put it in MT5's Experts folder.

    1. Download RaptorEA.ex5 using the button in “Your license”.
    2. In MT5 click File → Open Data Folder.
    3. Open MQL5, then Experts.
    4. Paste RaptorEA.ex5 into the Experts folder.
    5. Back in MT5, right-click Expert Advisors in the Navigator and click Refresh.

    Your license

    You'll know it worked when…The EA appears under Expert Advisors in the Navigator (press Ctrl+N if the Navigator is hidden).
    Common mistakePasting the file into MQL5 instead of MQL5 → Experts, or forgetting to Refresh.
  4. 4

    Allow the license connection (WebRequest)

    ~2 min

    Raptor EA checks your license over the internet, so MT5 must be allowed to talk to our website.

    1. In MT5 click Tools → Options (or press Ctrl+O).
    2. Open the Expert Advisors tab.
    3. Tick “Allow WebRequest for listed URL”.
    4. Double-click the green + and add this exact address:
    5. Click OK.
    You'll know it worked when…The address is in the list with the box ticked.
    Common mistakeA typo in the address or a missing https:// — the EA then shows “Please allow WebRequest” and won't start.
  5. 5

    Attach the EA to your chart

    ~2 min

    Load the EA onto the chart you want it to trade.

    1. Open an XAUUSD (gold) chart.
    2. Open the chart you want to trade.
    3. In the Navigator, open Expert Advisors and drag RaptorEA onto the chart.
    4. In the window that opens, go to the Common tab and tick “Allow Algo Trading”. Click OK.
    5. Make sure the Algo Trading button in the toolbar is green.
    You'll know it worked when…The dashboard appears and the top-right corner of the chart shows the EA name with a smiley face.
    Common mistakeAlgo Trading switched off in the toolbar — the corner shows a sad face and nothing trades.

  • Status: Analysing market… → Scanning for entry → Trade Active → Trade Finished / Finished for Today. “Finishing trade (no license)” / “Stopped (no license)” appear if the license is inactive.
  • Trades today: Raptor takes one trade a day at most. Its stop-loss and take-profit are set the moment it enters.
  • Closed the same day: Everything Raptor opened is closed before the trading day ends. It never holds trades overnight.
  • Risk setting: Each trade risks this % of balance. No martingale or recovery.

How your license works

Built so a website problem never stops your trading, and a trade or recovery is never abandoned.

  • Your license is checked when the EA starts and every 4 hours after that.
  • If our server is down, the EA keeps trading and retries after 1, 5 and 15 minutes, then hourly — no popups.
  • After a restart it can start without the server for up to 3 days after your license was last confirmed.
  • If your license ends (or the server is down for 24 hours), the EA never abandons an open trade or recovery — it finishes it first, then stops.
  • Backtesting in the MT5 Strategy Tester is disabled.
  • If your license ends, Raptor opens no new trades, keeps managing an open trade until it closes, then stops, and resumes by itself when the license is active again.

Troubleshooting

Find what you're seeing, then follow the fix.

“Please allow WebRequest” / error 4060 or 4014

Why: MT5 is not allowed to contact the license server.

  1. Tools → Options → Expert Advisors.
  2. Tick “Allow WebRequest for listed URL” and add https://www.bcbelevatetrading.com exactly.
  3. Click OK, then remove and re-attach the EA.
Watch the step →
“License check failed” / “License inactive” on startup

Why: The MT5 account or server on the chart doesn't match your registration, the plan isn't confirmed yet, or the license has ended.

  1. Check File → Login to Trade Account: account ID and server must match what you registered.
  2. Open My products to see your plan status.
  3. If everything matches, send us a screenshot of the Experts tab.

Sad face / greyed hat in the chart corner

Why: Algo trading is switched off.

  1. Click the Algo Trading button in the toolbar so it turns green.
  2. Right-click the chart → Expert list → Properties → Common → tick “Allow Algo Trading”.
Watch the step →
The EA is not in the Navigator

Why: The file is in the wrong folder or the list wasn't refreshed.

  1. File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Experts: the .ex5 file must be here.
  2. Right-click Expert Advisors in the Navigator → Refresh.
Watch the step →
“License server unreachable” in the Experts tab

Why: Our website or your internet was briefly unavailable.

  1. Nothing to do — the EA keeps trading and retries automatically.
  2. If it lasts more than a day, check your VPS internet connection and contact us.
No trade today

Why: Raptor only trades when its daily setup appears, so some days have no trade. It also skips a day if margin is too low or MT5 was not running.

  1. Keep MT5 running on a VPS 24/5.
  2. Check the dashboard Status for the reason.
  3. If it says “no license”, check My products.
A trade closed before its take-profit

Why: The stop-loss was hit, or the trade was still open near the end of the trading day and was closed automatically.

  1. This is by design: Raptor never holds trades overnight.
  2. Check the dashboard and the MT5 History tab.

Questions

Which chart should Raptor run on?

XAUUSD (gold), on a USD or cent account. Any chart timeframe works; Raptor reads the data it needs by itself.

Does Raptor use martingale?

No. Each trade risks a fixed % of your balance with its own stop-loss and take-profit (1:2).

Why are trades closed the same day?

Raptor is an intraday system; it never holds trades overnight or over the weekend.

Can I backtest it?

No. Backtesting is disabled; use the free demo plan.
