File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Presets
Copy:
Default Setting.set
The SET file may also be loaded directly from another folder when the EA input window is open.

GoldGuardian EA requires access to anakapaifx.com for online license activation and validation.
In MetaTrader 5, open:
Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
Enable:

Use the main domain exactly as shown. Do not add spaces and do not enter the full REST API address.

OK
7. Open the Recommended Chart
Open the trading symbol recommended for the supplied GoldGuardian EA setup.
For the current GoldGuardian EA configuration:
- Platform: MetaTrader 5
- Symbol: XAUUSD
- Timeframe: M1

- Drag the EA onto the XAUUSD chart
The EA Properties window will open.

Confirm that the parameters are loaded before continuing.
Do not change recovery, lot, grid or risk parameters unless you understand how they affect exposure and margin usage.
10. Enter Your License Key
Locate the GoldGuardian license input in the EA parameters.
It may appear as:
InpLicenseKey
Copy the complete license key from your Anakapaifx customer account and paste it into the input field.

12. Confirm Successful License Activation
After attaching the EA, check the GoldGuardian dashboard and the MetaTrader 5 Experts tab.
A successful activation may display a status similar to:
LICENSE: VALID LICENSE: ACTIVE ACTIVATION SUCCESSFUL
Your customer dashboard should also show the MT5 trading account as an active activation.
Check:
My Account → GoldGuardian Licenses → Activations
13. Three-Account Activation Limit
One GoldGuardian EA license may be activated on a maximum of three active MT5 trading accounts.
Example:

The activation limit applies to MT5 account login numbers.
It does not refer to:
- The number of charts
- The number of computers
- The number of VPS installations
- The number of MetaTrader terminals
The same authorised MT5 login may normally be used on another device, subject to license validation and account information.

Provide:
- Your order number
- Your customer-account e-mail

- Free margin
- Current spread
- Active positions

These methods may increase open exposure, floating loss, lot size and margin usage when the market moves against the active basket.
GoldGuardian EA does not guarantee profit or protection from loss.
Read the complete Risk Disclaimer before using the EA on a live account.
