Get Started with GAT

Four steps from zero to automated trading on your own account. You can do all four yourself; the only part we do is setting your licence up against your MT5 account.

Step 1 of 4 — Start here

Get an MT5 Account

GAT runs inside MetaTrader 5 on a live account that you own. Before subscribing you need an MT5 account with a broker we support, because your licence is issued against that account number.

Already have one with a supported broker? Skip straight to step 2 — you will pick your broker from a list when you create your GAT account.

ℹ Which broker? We build and test on Vantage Markets. Other supported brokers appear in the list when you sign up. If yours is not there, contact us before subscribing — the software cannot route trades correctly on an unsupported broker.

$ Partner rate. Open or transfer your account through our partner link, then contact us with that account number before you subscribe. Once we have verified it against our partner records, we send you a private checkout link at $59 per month instead of $118. If you have already subscribed at the standard rate, contact us anyway and we will arrange it. GAT may receive partner or introducing-broker remuneration when an eligible user opens or uses an account through the supported partner route. This arrangement does not give GAT access to client funds and does not guarantee any trading result.

⚠ Trading carries a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You may lose some or all of the money in your trading account. GAT provides software only — not financial advice. You remain responsible for your broker, your funds and your risk settings.

Step 2 of 4

Create Your Account & Subscribe

Create your GAT account in the client portal. You will be asked for your MetaTrader 5 account number and your broker — your licence is tied to that account, so enter it carefully.

Create your login and agree to the Terms of Service
Verify your email address — check your spam folder if it does not arrive
Choose your plan and pay
Your licence is activated automatically once payment clears

Step 3 of 4

Install the Software

Download the Expert Advisor from your portal dashboard and install it into your own MetaTrader 5 terminal. GAT does not host or run the software for you — it runs on your machine, under your control.

Sign in to the portal and download the EA file from the setup guide
In MT5, go to File → Open Data Folder, then MQL5 → Experts
Copy the file into that folder, then press F5 in MT5 to refresh
Drag the EA onto a XAUUSD chart and enter your licence key
Make sure AutoTrading is switched on — the green button in the toolbar

ℹ Where should it run? MetaTrader 5 has to stay open and online for the software to manage trades. A home PC works, but it must not sleep or lose connection. Most clients use a VPS so it keeps running unattended.

GET A WINDOWS VPS → WHY A VPS?

⚠ Your VPS or computer is paid to that provider, not to GAT, and is separate from your subscription. If the machine goes offline, the software stops managing your trades.

Step 4 of 4 — Final step

Set Your Risk & Go Live

One step remains, and trading will not start without it. In the portal you choose your risk settings, then review and confirm your trading configuration. Until you confirm it, the software stays connected but takes no trades.

Open Settings in the portal and set your risk limits — daily loss limit, profit cap, protection levels
Open Trading configuration and read what the software will do on your account
Confirm it. Trading begins from that point

ℹ This is deliberate. We will not run an automated strategy on your money until you have seen the configuration and agreed to it. You can change your settings at any time, and switch the software off whenever you want.

✓ Check it is working. Your dashboard shows a green Connected badge once the software is running, and the MT5 journal shows GAT: Auth OK — config loaded.

⚠ All trading involves significant risk of loss and no profit is guaranteed. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Review your account regularly — do not rely on GAT as your only means of monitoring your positions, balance or risk.
