Trading Fundamentals

What is Forex Trading?

Forex trading (Foreign Exchange) refers to the trading of currencies on the global market—the largest and most liquid financial market in the world.

How it works: You always trade currency pairs (e.g., EUR/USD). You buy Euros and simultaneously sell US Dollars. You profit if the Euro strengthens against the Dollar.

  • Leverage: Control large positions with small capital.
  • 24/5 Trading: The market is open Monday to Friday around the clock.
What is Crypto Trading?

Crypto trading involves buying and selling digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH). Unlike Forex, crypto markets are decentralized and operate 24/7.

Volatility: Cryptocurrencies are much more volatile than traditional currencies. This offers greater profit opportunities but also higher risks.

Opportunities & Risks

Trading is not gambling—it requires discipline.

  • Advantages: High liquidity, 24h trading, low barriers to entry, and leverage potential.
  • Risks: Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Volatile markets can move quickly against you.

Important: Always trade only with capital you can afford to lose. We recommend regulated brokers with negative balance protection.

Are profits guaranteed? (Backtests vs. Reality)

No. Our algorithms have proven successful in extensive backtests over many years, and every live execution is additionally validated by our veteran trading desk. However, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The Reality: Losses and drawdown periods are a normal part of the trading business. No system wins 100% of the time.

The Edge: Thanks to our very favorable Risk/Reward Ratio (we typically win more on a winning trade than we lose on a losing trade), the strategies are designed to remain profitable over the long term, even if you encounter a losing streak.

Payments, Licenses & Access

Frictionless Payments (Crypto Only)

To ensure absolute financial privacy, instant global execution, and zero banking interference, we operate exclusively on the blockchain.

We accept USDT (Tether), Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC).

How it works: At checkout, you will scan a QR code. The system detects your payment automatically and grants instant access. No banks, no waiting times.

Is this a subscription trap? (Auto-Renewal)

Absolutely not. We believe in sovereignty. When you purchase a package (e.g., 90 Days), you are buying a pre-paid access pass.

When the time expires, access simply stops. We do not have access to your wallet, so we can never charge you automatically. You decide when and if you want to renew.

Do I need to upload ID (KYC)?

No. LibertyTrader is built on the principle of privacy. We do not require your passport, ID, or personal address.

All we need is a valid email address to deliver your license keys and download links. Your identity remains your business.

Installation & Platform

How to get a Broker Account & MetaTrader?

Before you can use our software, you need a trading account and the platform installed on your computer (or VPS).

  1. Sign Up: We recommend Pepperstone (Excellent liquidity & tight spreads), though any modern broker works. Create your profile and verify your email.
  2. Create Live Account: Inside the broker dashboard, click “Open Live Account”. Select MetaTrader 5, Leverage 1:100 to 1:500, and Currency USD.
  3. Download Platform: In the broker dashboard, look for the “Downloads” section. Download the .exe file for MetaTrader 5 on Windows.
  4. Install & Login: Run the installer. Once open, log in with the account number and password the broker sent to your email.
Mac Users: MetaTrader is a Windows application. We strongly recommend using a VPS (Virtual Server) to run it smoothly 24/7.
LibertyCopier Installation Guide (Step-by-Step)
  1. Download: Get the .ex5 (MT5) file from your Dashboard. Unzip if needed.
  2. Install: In MetaTrader 5, go to File → Open Data Folder. Navigate to MQL5 → Experts and paste the file there. Restart MetaTrader.
  3. Allow Connection (Critical): Go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors. Check “Allow WebRequest” and add:
    https://api.libertytrader.ai
  4. Activate: Drag the EA onto one chart (e.g. EURUSD).
    • Go to the Common tab and check “Allow Algo Trading”.
    • Then go to Inputs and enter your License Token.
  5. Start: Ensure the “Algo Trading” button at the top is GREEN. (Check if the blue hat icon actively shows).
How many MT5 Accounts and Telegram accesses do I get?

Telegram: Every license permits exactly 1 Telegram connection. You simply submit your Telegram username in your Web Dashboard to unlock the private channels.

MetaTrader 5 Accounts: This scales with your commitment. The longer your pass, the more MT5 instances you can run concurrently (e.g., for multiple Prop Firm challenges or parallel Live/Demo setups).

  • 30 Days Access: 1 MT5 Account (VIP: 2 Accounts)
  • 3 Months Access: 2 MT5 Accounts (VIP: 4 Accounts)
  • 12 Months Access: 3 MT5 Accounts (VIP: 6 Accounts)
Can I use a Mac?

MetaTrader is native to Windows. While you can run it on Mac using emulators, we strongly recommend using a Windows VPS. This ensures your EA runs 24/7 in a stable environment without you needing to keep your Mac on all day.

LibertyCopier Settings Explained

Connection & License
  • Paste your License Token here: This is the most important field. Copy the long code from your Dashboard and paste it here to authorize the EA.
  • API URL: Displays the server address (https://api.libertytrader.ai). You must add this to your WebRequest settings in MetaTrader options.
Market Filter

Control exactly what assets the EA is allowed to trade:

  • Trade Forex / Indices / Crypto / Gold: Set to true to allow, false to block. Example: If you only want to trade Gold, set everything else to false.
  • Blacklisted Symbols: Enter specific pairs you want to ignore (e.g., “US100, ETHUSD”), separated by commas. Useful if spreads are too high on certain assets.
Signal Adjustments (Stealth Mode)

Make your trading execution unique (Prop Firm Friendly):

  • Add Pips to Entry (+/-): Adds a micro-offset to the entry price (e.g. 0.5 pips).
  • Add Pips to SL / TP: Adjusts your exit levels slightly.
Using offsets creates a unique “fingerprint” for your account, preventing you from being flagged for mass copy-trading.
Risk Management
  • Auto Lot based on Risk?: True = EA calculates size based on percentage. False = Uses fixed lot.
    We strongly recommend Auto Lot. Our code automatically detects the broker’s specific contract sizes (e.g. for Indices or Gold) and adjusts the lots perfectly, which is much safer than Fixed Lots across different brokers.
  • Risk % of Balance: (e.g., 1.0). The percentage of your account you are willing to lose per trade. Recommended: 0.5% – 1.0%.
  • Fixed Lot: Static size (e.g., 0.01) used if Auto Lot is disabled.
  • Max Daily Drawdown %: (e.g., 5.0). If your equity drops by this amount in one day, the EA stops trading to protect you. Set to 0 to disable.
  • Max Open Trades per Symbol: (Default: 1). Prevents the EA from opening multiple positions on the same pair simultaneously.
System & Filters
  • Max Allowed Spread (Pips): The EA won’t trade if the spread exceeds this value (e.g., 20), protecting you during news events.
  • Internal Slippage: Acceptable price deviation for execution.
  • Use Signal SL/TP?: (Default: true). If set to false, the EA opens trades WITHOUT Stop Loss or Take Profit. Warning: Only for advanced users who manage trades manually!
  • EA Identifier (Magic Number): Unique ID (e.g., 777) for the EA to track its own trades.
  • Refresh Rate (Seconds): (Default: 30). How often the EA checks the server for new signals.

Troubleshooting

Error 4060: Permission Denied?

This means MetaTrader blocks the connection. You skipped Installation Step 3.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Expert Advisors and add https://api.libertytrader.ai to the WebRequest list.

I switched trading accounts. What now?

Our system binds the license to your account number. To switch:

  1. Go to your Web Dashboard (My Accounts).
  2. Delete the old number from the “MT5 Account Number” field.
  3. Enter the new number and save.
  4. Restart the LibertyCopier EA in MetaTrader 5.
Trades not opening (Symbol Suffix)?

Some brokers use specific symbol names like EURUSD.pro or m_GBPUSD.

Check the EA settings (Inputs). Enter your broker’s suffix (e.g. “.pro”) in the Symbol Suffix field so the EA recognizes the pairs.
