Once allowed, click OK.

Restart the MetaTrader 5 terminal to apply the new system configurations.

3. Chart Deployment

Attach AlphaBox Cloud.ex5 to an active market chart to authenticate your license key.

Open an active chart for XAU/USD. (Note: The engine automatically maps broker-specific instrument suffixes, e.g., XAUUSD+, XAUUSD.p, XAUUSDm or GOLD).
Select any preferred timeframe.
From the Navigator panel, execute AlphaBox Cloud onto the chart.
