Installing Galileo FX is generally straightforward, but like any software, users may encounter issues during the setup process. One common problem is the robot not appearing in the MetaTrader platform after installation. This issue often occurs when the installation files are placed in the wrong directory. To resolve this, ensure that the Galileo FX files are copied into the correct folder, typically "MQL4/Experts" for MetaTrader 4 or "MQL5/Experts" for MetaTrader 5.

Another frequent issue is the robot not executing trades. This can be caused by several factors, including incorrect settings or the AutoTrading feature not being enabled. First, double-check that AutoTrading (or AlgoTrading on MT5) is turned on, as this allows Galileo FX to execute trades automatically. Next, review the robot’s settings, particularly the lot size, consecutive signals, and risk management parameters, to ensure they are configured correctly.

If the robot is still not trading, it’s possible that the market conditions do not meet the criteria set in the inputs. For instance, if you’ve set a high consecutive signals requirement, the robot might not open a trade until those conditions are met, which could take some time depending on market activity. Additionally, if you’re using a broker that requires specific order types, such as market execution instead of instant execution, make sure Galileo FX is configured to handle this.

For more complex issues, Galileo FX offers a remote installation service, where the support team can connect to your PC and ensure that the software is properly installed and configured. This service is particularly useful for users who are not familiar with MetaTrader or who encounter persistent problems that are difficult to troubleshoot on their own.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you can resolve most installation issues and get Galileo FX up and running smoothly, allowing you to focus on optimizing your trading strategy.
