Pipvaro Setup

This guide walks you through connecting MetaTrader 5 to Pipvaro, from account creation to your first healthy Snapshot.

You’ll need an MT5 account with algorithmic trading enabled and permission to attach an Expert Advisor (EA) to a chart.

1) Create your Pipvaro account

  1. Open the Pipvaro Dashboard and click Sign up.
  2. Verify your email and log in.
  3. Optional: Join our Discord for quick support and updates.

Account creation

2) Choose a plan

Pick between Novar or Lunar. By default you can start with Fusion and upgrade anytime after setup.

Tip: Plans can be upgraded later without re-installing the EA. Choose a starter plan, finish setup, then scale as needed.

3) Create a Receiver

  1. In the Dashboard, go to Receivers → New Receiver.
  2. Give it a clear name (e.g., Main MT5).
  3. Copy the generated Receiver ID — you’ll need it inside MT5.

Create receiver

4) Download and attach the Expert Advisor (EA)

  1. Download the latest Pipvaro EA from the Dashboard (Downloads/Resources).
  2. In MT5, open File → Open Data Folder and place the EA into MQL5/Experts/ (restart MT5 if needed).
  3. Drag the EA onto the chart you wish to automate.

Warning: Make sure Auto Trading is enabled in MT5. If it’s off, the EA cannot communicate with Pipvaro.

Attach EA

5) Enter your License and Receiver IDs

On the EA input panel:

  • License Key / License ID — paste from Dashboard → Licenses.
  • Receiver ID — the ID you created in step 3.

Click OK to save the inputs.

6) Allow api.pipvaro.com in MT5 Algo Trading

In MT5, go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors and:

  • Check Allow WebRequest for listed URL.
  • Add https://api.pipvaro.com.
  • Keep the other recommended checkboxes enabled for EA operation.

Allow WebRequest

Add the Pipvaro chat in your dashboard/community so you can ask quick questions and see announcements. It’s usually the fastest route for help.

8) Run a Snapshot and verify status

Back in the Dashboard, open your Receiver and click Run Snapshot.

You should see:

  • Status: Online
  • Account details (login, balance, leverage)
  • Last heartbeat time within the past few seconds

If Snapshot shows Offline, check: Auto Trading toggle, EA still attached, license/receiver IDs, and the api.pipvaro.com WebRequest entry.

9) Happy trading 🎉

Your MT5 is connected to Pipvaro. Configure your preferred presets, risk, and symbols in the Dashboard and let automation do the heavy lifting.

Troubleshooting (quick)

  • EA not loading? Restart MT5 after copying files to MQL5/Experts/.
  • Snapshot offline? Verify WebRequest URL and check MT5 Auto Trading.
  • License error? Confirm you pasted the correct License Key and it’s active for this receiver.
  • No trades? Make sure market is open, symbol is supported, and EA is on the right chart/timeframe.
