From here, you can manage and activate your live and demo accounts.

Then you need to determine the MT4 account number(s) you want to activate on your license.
Your MT4 account number is located on the left side of MetaTrader’s program -> Navigator
Panel -> Accounts -> Broker -> Demo / Live. You can also find the current account number
running on your MT4 on the upper left corner of the MT4 terminal. You can also find these
numbers on your broker’s account page.
In the example screenshot below, the MT4 account number is 4681366.
You will also need to determine whether this account is a demo or live account.

It is highly recommended that you first use a demo account during the learning phase of this
trading system.
Note: Your MT4 account number will be tied to your license to secure the program and prevent
uncontrolled distribution. The MT4 account number is safe to provide to us and it will only be
used to secure your licensed copy.

Step 16. Insert License Key.

Step 17. Add suffix (If applicable)

Go to the Market Watch window. If you don’t see the Market Watch window on your MT4
terminal, then you can press CTRL + M or go to “View” then select “Market Watch”.
Then check if the pair names on your broker have any suffixes. Suffix means a special
character(s) added at the end of the pair name. Example: EURUSD.m, which means .m is your
suffix. Another example is [Link], which means .pro is your suffix.

TakePropips Donchian Trend Pro [Link] ©2021-2025 TakePropips, All Rights Reserved. 14
If the pair names on your broker have a suffix, then you will need to add this on the “Symbol
Suffix” input setting of the indicator. You can refer to the Troubleshooting section of this
document if you need more help in adding different type of suffix to the indicator.
If there is no suffix on the pair names, then leave it blank.
Press OK.

Step 18. Go full screen.

If the dashboard on your screen cuts off, then you can go full screen by going to “View” and
click “Full Screen”. The dashboard is best used on full screen mode.

Troubleshooting
The pair names that I want to add on the dashboard have a suffix (Example, EURUSD.m), how
can I implement this?
Example #1: You want to add pairs with the same suffix on the dashboard. Example: EURUSD.m,
USDCAD.m, XAUUSD.m NAS100USD.m, and GBPUSD.m (all pairs have same suffix of .m)

You will need to enter the suffix on the “Symbol Suffix” input setting. For example, if your brokers
symbol for “EURUSD” is “EURUSD.m”, then you will need to enter “.m” on this input.

If you are adding any inputs on “Additional Pairs List” or “Custom Pairs List”, then you need to input the
pair names without suffix and enter the suffix on the “Symbol Suffix” setting.

Example #2: You want to add pairs with 2 or more different suffixes on the same dashboard. Example:
EURUSD.m and [Link] (.m and .pro suffix are different)

You will need to switch the “Currency Preset” to “Custom Pairs List” and manually type the pair names
including the suffix on the “Custom Pairs List” input setting. You cannot input the suffixes on the
“Symbol Suffix” because you are adding pairs with 2 or more different suffixes.

Example #3: You want to add pairs with a suffix AND pairs without suffix on the same dashboard.
Example, EURUSD.m and GBPJPY (EURUSD has suffix and GBPJPY does not have suffix)

You will need to switch the “Currency Preset” to “Custom Pairs List” and manually type the pair names
including any suffix on the “Custom Pairs List” input setting. You cannot input the suffix on the “Symbol
Suffix” all pairs will use this setting to append the suffix on every pair names.

How can I customize the pairs shown on the trading dashboard?
You can go to the input settings of the indicator and select your “Currency Pairs Preset” setting. The
default is set to 7 Major Pairs but you are able to change this. You can also add non-FX pairs such as
Indices, Commodities, and Crypto in addition to the currency pre-set by adding the pair names on the
setting “Additional Pairs”.

If you do not want to use currency presets, then you can switch the Currency Pairs Preset setting to
“Custom Pairs List”. Then input all the pairs you want to show on the dashboard on the setting “Custom
Pairs List”.
