Before installing any Expert Advisors, you will need to ensure you have copied the EA to a folder on your Mac.

1. Login to MT4:

   • Open the Axi MT4 trading platform.

2. Access the Data Folder:

   • In the top menu, click on File, then select Open Data Folder. A window will appear on your screen showing the folder structure.

3. Navigate to the Correct Folder:

   • In the new window, navigate to Users → [Your Mac User Name] → MQL4. (You may need to search for the MQL4 folder if it's not immediately visible.)

4. Prepare the EA:

   • Locate your EAs (you may have created a folder on your desktop named "EAs" for demonstration purposes). Select the EA, right-click, and click Copy.

5. Paste the EA in the 'Experts' Folder:

   • Within the MQL4 folder, you will see two subfolders: Experts and Indicators. Open the Experts folder.
   • Right-click and select Paste to add the EA file to the Experts folder.

6. Close the Window:

   • Once the EA is copied, close the window.
