 WHAT IS IN THIS PACKAGE
------------------------------------------------------------------------

   MT4/
     Structure Participation Matrix.ex4      <- the indicator (MetaTrader 4)
     Structure Participation Matrix.tpl      <- optional ready-made template
   MT5/
     Structure Participation Matrix.ex5      <- the indicator (MetaTrader 5)
     Structure Participation Matrix.tpl      <- optional ready-made template
   READ ME FIRST - INSTALL.txt                    <- this file

 Use the MT4 files with MetaTrader 4 and the MT5 files with MetaTrader 5.
 You do NOT need both - install the one your broker gave you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 IMPORTANT - THIS INDICATOR NEEDS "ALLOW DLL IMPORTS"  (read this)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The free edition activates itself against our licence server the first
 time it runs. To reach the server it uses the standard Windows internet
 library (wininet.dll), and MetaTrader will not let ANY indicator use a
 DLL unless you allow it. If DLL imports are off you will see the
 "Activating your free licence..." screen and nothing else.

 Turn it on ONCE, globally:

   MT4:  Tools -> Options -> Expert Advisors ->
         [x] Allow DLL imports
   MT5:  Tools -> Options -> Expert Advisors ->
         [x] Allow DLL imports

 AND, when you drag the indicator onto a chart, on the dialog that opens:

   MT4:  "Common" tab  -> [x] Allow DLL imports
   MT5:  "Dependencies" tab -> [x] Allow DLL imports

 That per-chart checkbox is the one people miss. If activation hangs, it
 is almost always this box. (Nothing else is sent - no login, no password,
 no trading data; only the licence check.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 INSTALL - MetaTrader 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1. In MT4:  File -> Open Data Folder.  A folder window opens.
 2. Go into  MQL4 \ Indicators.
 3. Copy  "Structure Participation Matrix.ex4"  into that folder.
 4. (optional) Copy the .tpl file into  MQL4 \ Profiles \ Templates.
 5. Back in MT4:  right-click the Navigator -> Refresh
    (or restart MT4).
 6. Open a chart. In Navigator, under "Indicators", double-click
    "Structure Participation Matrix"  (or drag it onto the chart).
 7. On the dialog, open the "Common" tab and tick
    [x] Allow DLL imports,  then press OK.
 8. Give it a few seconds. The structure levels, participation markers and the matrix panel appear once the free licence activates.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 INSTALL - MetaTrader 5
------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1. In MT5:  File -> Open Data Folder.  A folder window opens.
 2. Go into  MQL5 \ Indicators.
 3. Copy  "Structure Participation Matrix.ex5"  into that folder.
 4. (optional) Copy the .tpl file into  MQL5 \ Profiles \ Templates.
 5. Back in MT5:  right-click the Navigator -> Refresh
    (or restart MT5).
 6. Open a chart. In Navigator, under "Indicators", double-click
    "Structure Participation Matrix"  (or drag it onto the chart).
 7. On the dialog, open the "Dependencies" tab and tick
    [x] Allow DLL imports,  then press OK.
 8. Give it a few seconds for the free licence to activate; the structure levels, participation markers and the matrix panel
    then draw.

 If you use the supplied .tpl (right-click chart -> Template -> Structure Participation Matrix),
 the DLL permission still has to be on - the template carries the
 per-instance DLL bit, but the global "Allow DLL imports" option above
 must also be ticked.
