Drag the EA onto a chart
Open any chart, drag the «TradingNote» EA from the Navigator onto the chart, and confirm. When you see the smiley face in the corner, the EA is active and will start syncing your account.
Keep MetaTrader open. The EA only syncs while the terminal is running. If you close it, the account stops updating until you reopen it.
Account still not showing or syncing? Check the EA shows the smiley face, the terminal is open, you added https://app.tradingnote.co under WebRequest, and the credentials are correct. If it persists, reach us via Support.
