Helpful tips

  • Pip Receiver is powerful with many settings, but only License Key and License Secret are required; other settings can stay at default initially.

  • For advanced setup, see Essential Pip Receiver or Pip Receiver Pro.

  • Essential Pip Receiver works with Essential licenses; Pip Receiver Pro works with Professional and Multi-Connect licenses. Make sure to download the correct version.

  • If your account doesn’t appear in Connect Hub, click Refresh. If it still doesn’t show, check the Experts tab in MetaTrader, your License or Secret may be incorrect. Errors are logged there.

  • If you haven’t created a license yet, see Manage Licenses.

  • Pip Receiver must remain running to process trading signals. Using a VPS for MetaTrader is highly recommended.

  • The EA will automatically reconnect after network disconnections. Temporary “Disconnect” → "Connect" messages are normal. Frequent disconnects may indicate network issues or an unstable VPS.

  • No license/secret data provided: It means you didn't provide License Key and License Secret in Inputs tab. Please provide these infos.

  • Invalid license and/or secret provided: It means you provided wrong License Key and/or License Secret. Check them again. You can go to your Dashboard and copy these infos to prevent mistakes.

  • Plan connection limit exceeded: You attempted to create more active connections than your plan allows. For example, your plan includes 1 active connection, but you tried to open a second one.

Remove an active MT5 connection

Right click on the chart and remove the Pip Receiver from your terminal will terminate the active connection.


Option 2: Use the Dashboard

  1. Open the Dashboard and go to Connect Hub.

  2. Click Manage License for the license associated with the connection.

  3. Click the Remove Connection button next to the connection you want to remove.

  4. Confirm the action to complete the removal.
