Setup Wizard

Connect the AI Brain and MT4 EA

i This wizard walks through the real install steps from your Setup Guide. brain.exe, the EA, and the merge tool all run locally on your PC — a browser can't reach them directly, so the checklists and previews below confirm what you should see rather than checking your machine live.

Step 1 of 4

License & Local AI Brain Setup

brain.exe reads its license from a local file, not a login — fill in your details below and we'll generate exactly what to paste into it.

Install the Brain

Local install

  • 01Create a permanent folder, e.g. C:\LorentzianBot\ — not Downloads or a temp folder.
  • 02Copy brain.exe and Reset-Brain-Memory.bat into it.
  • 03In that folder, rename license.txt.example (included in the package) to license.txt, then paste the generated content above into it and save.
Confirm it's running
Step 2 of 4

Install the Expert Advisor

The EA talks to brain.exe over a local ZeroMQ socket — two runtime DLLs and one MT4 setting make that connection possible.

Your Brain install folder
C:\LorentzianBot\

You'll paste this into the EA's AI_WORKING_DIR input in the next step.

Step 3 of 4

Attach the EA & Set Your Risk

Drag it onto a chart, point it at your Brain folder, and review the risk inputs before you go live.

Attach & connect

  • 01Drag LorentzianBot-Scalp-Live onto the chart of the symbol/timeframe you want to trade.
  • 02On the Inputs tab, set AI_WORKING_DIR to the folder path you copied in Step 2.
  • 03Leave AI_EXECUTABLE as brain.exe and AUTO_START_AI as true — the EA launches the AI engine for you.
  • 04Make sure AutoTrading is enabled — the button in the MT4 toolbar should be green.

RISK_PERCENTAccount % risked per trade, when USE_AUTO_LOT is on.
MAX_ACCOUNT_DRAWDOWN_PERCENTCircuit breaker — closes everything if equity falls this far below balance.
MAX_CONCURRENT_PAIRSCaps how many symbols can have open positions at once.
USE_TRAILINGTurns the trailing stop on or off.
! Defaults are reasonable starting points, but review them against your own account size and risk tolerance — nobody else can decide your risk settings for you.

Step 4 of 4

Teach the Black Book, Then Go Live

Run a backtest first so the Brain learns its worst-case scenarios on history — not on your real balance.

Backtest-teach before risking a dollar

  • 01In Strategy Tester, run LorentzianBot-Scalp-Backtest over 6–12 months, with AI_EXECUTABLE set to brain_backtest.exe.
  • 02It runs on its own port (5655) — completely separate from live brain.exe (5555), so a backtest can never affect a live trade.
  • 03Close brain.exe, then run Merge-Backtest-To-Live.bat from your install folder to bring that learning into your live memory.
