A better first step: your EA trial checklist.

Start with a question, not an expectation

A trial gives you time to understand a tool. Decide what you want to learn: how the EA is installed, where its settings live, how trades are managed and how the reports appear. A short trial cannot prove long-term profitability.

Create your workspace account

Use your correct contact details, verify your email and explore the EA Catalog. Review the platform, account and broker requirements before submitting a request. Each license is associated with its trading account and broker server.

Request the EA

Choose the relevant product and available trial option. Enter your trading account and server carefully. Wait for the administrator to review the request and prepare your license. Read the current eligibility rules inside your workspace.

Read the version instructions

Open My EAs & Licenses and expand the download details. Use the instructions and files for the version you are installing. If anything is unclear, ask through Workspace Messages before changing settings.

Keep a simple review log

Record the settings you used, any connection problems and the trades you want to understand. Separate technical setup questions from market outcomes. At the end of the trial, decide whether you understand the product and its limitations well enough to continue.
