Setup & First Steps

EasyInsight exports market data from your MetaTrader terminal as structured CSV files that you can feed directly to ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI tools for analysis.

Two versions available:

  • Standard: Requires separate SI indicator licenses. You control which indicators to enable.
  • AIO (All-in-One): All SI indicators built in. Everything enabled by default. Simplest setup.

AIO Setup (Recommended for beginners)

  1. Attach the EA to any stable chart (e.g., EURUSD M5)
  2. Enable Autotrading
  3. Done. All indicators are active, CSVs start exporting immediately.

Standard Setup

  1. Install and activate the SI indicators you own (FX Power, FX Volume, etc.)
  2. Attach EasyInsight EA to any chart
  3. Enable the indicators you want: "Use FX Power NG", "Use FX Volume", "Use FX Dynamic", "Use FX Levels", "Use IX Power"
  4. Enable Autotrading

Indicator Toggles

Parameter Standard Default AIO Default
"Use FX Power NG" false true
"Use FX Volume" false true
"Use FX Dynamic" false true
"Use FX Levels" false true
"Use IX Power" Not used Use on all symbols

OHLC Settings

Three configurable timeframes for price data export:

  • "OHLC Time frame 1": M15 (default)
  • "OHLC Time frame 2": H1 (default)
  • "OHLC Time frame 3": D1 (default)

Standard Indicators

8 optional standard indicators (all off by default): ADX, Bollinger Bands, CCI, Ichimoku, Moving Average, MACD, RSI, Stochastic. Enable the ones your AI analysis needs.

Exported Files

Files are saved to [MT5 data path]/MQL5/Files/[EASY Insight](/products/easyinsight)/:

  • CSV files per category: Forex, Metals, Crypto, Indices, Extra
  • AI Prompt files (.txt): Explain the CSV structure to the AI
  • Timelapse files: Timestamped snapshots in a Timelapse subfolder

Typical Workflow

  1. EasyInsight exports CSV every 1-15 minutes
  2. Open the CSV and the matching prompt .txt file
  3. Paste both into ChatGPT/Claude
  4. Get analysis grounded in your actual indicator readings

Interpretation Prompts

Enable these for richer AI context:

  • "Include FX Power trading experience in AI prompt": Adds FX Power trading experience to the AI prompt
  • "Include FX Volume trading experience in AI prompt": Adds FX Volume insights
  • "Include IX Power trading experience in AI prompt": Adds IX Power context

These make the prompt longer but give the AI more context for better analysis.

Practical Tips

  • Start with FX Power only to test the basic workflow before enabling everything
  • Timelapse is powerful: Feed multiple timestamped CSVs to the AI for trend analysis over time
  • Keep cleanup enabled: Daily operation generates many files. Auto-cleanup prevents disk bloat.
  • Time schedule: Use "Enable processing time schedule" to only export during your active trading sessions
  • AIO version presets are transferable: .set files work between Standard and AIO versions

Common Issues

No files exported: Check: (1) Autotrading enabled, (2) at least one indicator activated, (3) SI indicators installed (Standard version), (4) write permissions in MT5 file folder.

"missed" in status display: A scheduled export was skipped (data not ready). System catches up on next interval. Frequent "missed" suggests performance issues.

N/A values in CSV: Symbol not available at broker, indicator can't read that symbol, or market closed (weekend).

Find your files: In MetaTrader, go to File > Open Data Folder, then navigate to MQL5/Files/EASY Insight/.
