1. Attach Rendiq Trade Manager to a chart
- Open the symbol and timeframe you want to work with.
- In MetaTrader’s Navigator, find Rendiq Trade Manager under Expert Advisors.
- Drag Rendiq Trade Manager onto the chart or double-click it.
- Review the initial Inputs. Choose the starting light/dark theme and any chart colors you want, then confirm.
The current chart controls where order drafts and selected-trade visuals are drawn. You can attach Rendiq Trade Manager to more than one chart; each chart keeps its own applied settings.
2. Allow trading
The toolbar’s automated-trading control must be enabled, and the EA must be allowed to trade. If either permission is off, Rendiq Trade Manager can still display its interface but cannot submit an order.
MetaTrader toolbar
Turn on Algo Trading. The toolbar should show its enabled state.
EA permission
In the EA properties, allow algorithmic trading for Rendiq Trade Manager.
3. Know the operating requirements
Rendiq Trade Manager runs as an Expert Advisor inside MetaTrader 5 desktop. The table below separates application requirements from broker-controlled behavior so you know where to look when something is unavailable.
| Area | Rendiq Trade Manager relies on | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Order sending | Terminal trading, EA trading, and account trading permission. | Algo Trading is on, the EA may trade, and the account accepts trading. |
| Prices and volume | Live symbol data and the broker’s symbol specification. | Connection is live; minimum/maximum lot, volume step, stop distance, and execution rules fit the plan. |
| Chart visuals | The current chart symbol, timeframe, dimensions, and visible price range. | The intended chart is open and has valid price data. |
| Economic news | Internet access plus an approved MetaTrader WebRequest host. | Add https://nfs.faireconomy.media. Other Rendiq Trade Manager features do not require this URL. |
| Session overlays | An intraday chart at H1 or lower. | Change the chart to H1, M30, M15, or another supported lower timeframe. |
Rendiq Trade Manager normalizes and validates the request, but your broker ultimately decides symbol names, volume limits, stop distances, market availability, margin, fill, slippage, and rejection details.
4. Learn the dock
The dock is the control center. An active button changes color. Click the same active action again to cancel or close it.
| Control | What it opens or changes | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Buy / Sell | Creates a market-order draft and opens the order dialog. | When you intend to enter near the current price. |
| P. | Creates a pending buy or sell draft. | When entry should wait for a chosen price. |
| Trade | Shows open positions, pending orders, and management actions. | To manage positions or delete an active pending order. With nothing to manage, it uses muted text and stays closed without a pop-up. |
| Stats | Shows trading performance and progress. | To review results and drawdown. |
| News icon | Opens today’s economic events. | To filter and draw upcoming news. |
| Sessions icon | Toggles session overlays on the chart. | To see Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York windows. |
| Settings icon | Opens settings and presets. | To change saved behavior for this chart. |
| Collapse icon | Minimizes or restores the dock. | To recover chart space without stopping Rendiq Trade Manager. |
Use Settings → UI → Dock layout. Horizontal is compact across the top; vertical keeps actions grouped down the side. Dock X and Dock Y fine-tune its chart position.
5. Thirty-second readiness check
- ✓Correct symbol and timeframe
- ✓Algo Trading enabled
- ✓Dock visible and responsive
- ✓Settings source reviewed
- ✓Risk mode and risk value understood
- ✓Prop protection reviewed if required
The dock responds, Settings shows the source you intended, and Buy or Sell creates a visible draft without submitting anything. If an order later fails, Rendiq Trade Manager should show a specific reason or the broker response.
A newly attached Rendiq Trade Manager starts with built-in defaults. If you want your usual setup, load your preset into the form and Apply it before trading.
