05:21[00:02] want to trade gold. I've traded it before, and I hate it. I've lost so much money trading gold that just thinking about it or saying the word makes me want to puke a little bit. But after I saw the results of the back test that I
[00:16] did, I asked you guys a question in that video. If you would like me to set up a new account trading that exact same strategy, and the beautiful part is it's all automated. I don't actually have to enter the trades manually. So, in this
[00:29] up my account. I'm starting the account with $5,000. I'm going to let it run for 90 days, and then we'll do a recap of the results on a live account. So, let's
[00:41] thing that you're going to want to do is go to trdfloor.com. to the automation. Now, once you've logged in, you'll see at the top a tab that says earn as you learn. Once you click on that, just scroll down and
[00:56] you'll be able to see the fact that you can take these trades manually as they're sent out to you. So, you can just enter them as they come in, or you have the option to automate everything that runs while you continue your
[01:10] education. Now, just as a rule of thumb, always watch the tutorial videos. They tell you exactly what to do step by step. This is just me doing a recap of it. Once you scroll down, you'll see the star vault and the gem vault. I'm going
[01:24] for the star vault. All you got to do is click the pink button that says open star vault. Then when you scroll down again, watch all of these videos. This will give you an insight of how everything works and what you should
[01:38] videos, so I'm jumping right to the installation and first-time setup. I'm using MT5, so I'm going to click the MT5 and MT4 installation setup button. Now, again, watch the video tells you exactly
[01:52] what to do. But because I've already seen it, I'm going to download the two links that are required for me on the bottom. It is the TTF strategy suite bottom. It is the TTF strategy suite download and the MT5 sweet bridge EA.
[02:05] This allows those two to communicate from your broker platform on MT5 to the automation. Now, once you've installed the strategy suite, you have to sign in
[02:17] using Discord. Make sure you're using the correct account. As you can see, you type in your email and password, or if you're logged in on your phone, you can use the QR code login like I'm going to do in this video. Read through all the
[02:29] legal agreements. Make sure you know what it is. Then, check the boxes at the bottom that say accept. Now, once you've logged in, you won't see any of your accounts connected yet until you take the EA that you just downloaded and put
[02:43] the EA that you just downloaded and put it in your MT5 platform or MT4. It's super simple. All you have to do is open up the data folder inside of MT5 and up the data folder inside of MT5 and paste that EA inside of the MQL5 folder.
[02:57] Then refresh where it says expert advisors and you'll see the EA right there. Next, you want to put it on the gold chart. So, open up your symbols, add gold. It's under metals or however your broker has it laid out. Once that
[03:11] your broker has it laid out. Once that chart is open, just click and drag that EA that you just installed onto that chart. Once you do that, allow algo chart. Once you do that, allow algo trading and DLL imports. Click okay. And
[03:24] is go up to the top toolbar where it says tools. Then go to options. Then go to experts. Check these two boxes at the bottom. And then one more step, click the plus button, add this number right here, 127.0.0.1,
[03:39] here, 127.0.0.1, and that should connect your EA on your broker platform to the TTF strategy vault. When you open that up, you should don't see it, click refresh, but it should be there. Then just click add,
[03:52] agree to terms and conditions. Once it's there, on the left hand side, you'll see starving gold. I'm going to the star vault. And Aurora. So, we're going to click on
[04:06] have watched, it will show you the historical monthly breakdown of what the system has made over the last 34 months. It will also tell you what percentage risk is recommended for each size account. This is a very important video
[04:21] to watch. I highly recommend that you do so. So, what you're going to do is add your total capital or however much you want to allocate to this specific automation. And then if you type in right here on the percentage risk that
[04:36] you want to risk on every trade, there will be a little tool tip that pops up on the bottom. So, let's say you type in 0.5. You want to risk half a percent or 1%. It will show you the recommended account balances for each one of those.
[04:52] My account is $5,000, so I'm running 1.5% risk. This will not only trade gold, it will also trade a couple other pairs that will boost the percentage gain on the account. Or if you have lower capital, you won't be able to
[05:07] trade gold, but you can still trade the same strategy using these JPY pairs. That's why there's a toggle switch that says JPY only. Now, once you get the settings all set, just click activate, agree to the terms and conditions, open
[05:21] up your broker account, make sure that it's still there, and you are good to go. My friend, I'm running this automation for the next 90 days. I am very excited about the results that it's had over the last 34 months. And if you
[05:35] want to see what this ends up doing in the next 90 days, make sure you click guys have the opportunity to go set this up for yourself. Thank you so much for up for yourself. Thank you so much for watching and we will see you in the next
