Xion / Documentation

Setup & activation guide.

Get from zero to a running bot in one session. Follow the steps in order.

01Install MetaTrader 5

Download and install MetaTrader 5 from your broker's website or the official MetaQuotes site. Log into your trading account. We strongly recommend a demo account for the first setup and for testing.

02Install the Xion app

Download Xion for your operating system from the Download page and run the binary; there's no installer. The app starts a local dashboard at http://localhost:9091, which you open in your browser.

03Attach the Expert Advisor

  1. Download Xion.ex5 from your account page.
  2. Copy it into MT5's MQL5/Experts folder (File → Open Data Folder, then navigate there).
  3. Enable Algo Trading in the MT5 toolbar.
  4. Go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors and allow WebRequest to http://127.0.0.1:9091.
  5. Drag the Xion EA from the Navigator panel onto any chart. It connects to the Xion app automatically.
The EA is only a bridge. It receives trade commands from Xion and places them in MT5, and holds no logic of its own.

04Activate your license

Open the Xion dashboard at localhost:9091, paste your license key (XION-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) into the activation field and click Activate.

Xion checks the key against the license server and binds your device. The status panel then shows your plan name, expiry date and remaining device slots.

05Configure & trade

In the Xion dashboard settings panel, configure:

  • Risk per trade: the % of balance risked when the strategy opens a trade. Start low (0.5–1%).
  • Daily loss halt: stop trading for the rest of the day once cumulative loss reaches this %.
  • Daily profit target: lock in gains and stop trading once this % is reached.
  • Pairs: choose which markets auto-trade (XAUUSD, BTCUSD, US30, FX pairs).
  • Strategy: Trend, Range, Scalp (gold) or Adaptive (auto-detect).

Press Start. Xion scans your enabled markets and trades within your risk limits. Use Stop or Close All at any time.

06The AI copilot

On AI plans, a Claude-powered copilot runs on our servers, so there's nothing extra to install. Open the Copilot tab in the Xion dashboard and start typing. It can:

  • Read and reason over your live candle data for any pair
  • Size positions ("1% risk long on gold")
  • Place, schedule and close trades on request
  • Explain why a trade is or isn't being taken right now
Not on an AI plan? Buy one from the pricing page. An AI-enabled key is issued to your account as soon as payment confirms.

07Updates

Xion checks for new versions on startup and periodically while running. When one is available, it tells you whether the update is major (new strategies or breaking changes) or minor (fixes and improvements) and shows the full changelog. Download the new build from the dashboard or the Download page.

08Moving to a new PC

Each license key allows a fixed number of active device slots. To move to a new machine:

  1. Go to your account page.
  2. Find the old device under your license and click Remove.
  3. Run Xion on the new machine and activate it with the same key.
