Indicators and the FXNook Agent
Why indicators come with a small companion EA, and how to set it up once.
MetaTrader does not let indicators connect to the internet. So FXNook indicators come with a small companion, the FXNook Agent, that checks the licence for them.
Setting it up
- From the download, copy the indicator into
MQL4/IndicatorsorMQL5/Indicators, and the FXNook Agent intoMQL4/ExpertsorMQL5/Experts. - Allow FXNook in MetaTrader – see Allowing FXNook in MetaTrader.
- Drag the FXNook Agent onto any one chart and paste your licence key into its settings.
- Add the indicator to any chart you like.
How it works
- The Agent checks your licence every 15 minutes and saves FXNook’s signed answer on your computer.
- The indicator reads that answer about once a minute and checks the signature itself.
- The Agent never trades. One Agent covers every FXNook indicator you own.
If the indicator will not load
no licence found - please run the FXNook Agent EA on any chart, with your licence key in its settingsStart the Agent with your key, wait a moment, then add the indicator again.
