Quickstart

This path gets you from a new account to a working desktop session.

1. Create or sign in

1. Open the Locimens website and Sign in (Google auth).
2. Confirm your plan on Accounts after checkout if you purchased a subscription.
3. Every plan uses the same desktop app; Beginner starts with demo-oriented limits, and paid plans unlock live MT5 and broader features.

2. Download and install

1. Confirm your PC meets the minimum requirements (Windows 10/11 64-bit, ~8 GB RAM, Locimens + MT5 on the same machine).
2. From Accounts, download the Locimens Windows installer.
3. Run the installer and launch Locimens when installation finishes.

See Download & install for the full PC table and first-launch tips.

3. Link the desktop app

1. Sign in inside the desktop app with the same account as the website.
2. If prompted, complete desktop link / device pairing from the pairing page.
3. Confirm your plan entitlements load (marketplace products and device limits).

4. Connect MetaTrader 5

1. Start MT5 and log into the account you intend to monitor (demo first is recommended).
2. Install the Locimens mailbox EA from desktop Marketplace if your plan includes it.
3. Attach the EA to a chart and confirm algorithmic trading is allowed.

Details: MT5 bridge overview and Connection checklist.

5. Configure an LLM

1. Open Settings (gear icon).
2. Choose Ollama (cloud and/or local), OpenRouter, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
3. Pick a model in the header and refresh the connection until status is healthy. Local models need enough RAM for that model on top of Locimens + MT5 — see Download & install.

6. Open the dashboard

1. Use the main nav Overview tab for MT5 status and positions.
2. Open Agents to install or start a plugin from Marketplace.
3. Optionally enable floating widgets (P&L, positions, agent chat) from Settings → Widgets.

Checklist
