Licence · 7-day free trial
DRF Key
One key for every DRF Expert Advisor, including the signal copier and the data tools. Start with 7 days free. A card is required at checkout; cancel during the trial and you pay nothing.
The problem
You want Expert Advisors you can understand and run on your own MetaTrader 5, without buying each one separately or working out a different licence for each. You also want to be able to stop whenever you like.
Plans
Every plan unlocks everything. The only difference is how often you are billed. Every new key starts with the same 7-day free trial. Prices are in euro, with no VAT added; see the general FAQ for why.
Card required at checkout. Cancel during the 7 days and you pay nothing. If you keep it, the first payment is taken at the end of the trial and the key stays active. You pay through Stripe; I never see your card number.

How it works
- Subscribe. Choose a plan above. Stripe validates your card and starts the 7-day trial. You do not need an account on this site.
- Receive the key. It is emailed to the address you gave at checkout, in the form DRF-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX. You can also find it from the account page: enter the same email address and you receive a sign-in link.
- Allow the address in MetaTrader. In MetaTrader 5 open Tools, Options, Expert Advisors, tick Allow WebRequest for listed URL, and add
https://sync.donaldsonrf.com. Do this once per terminal. - Enter the key. Paste it into the input called DRF Key in the settings of each Expert Advisor, and tick Allow Algo Trading in its Common tab.
- Use it. The key is checked when the Expert Advisor starts and then at regular intervals while it runs.
One key, one IP address
A key works from one IP address at a time: the first check ties it to the address it came from. To move it to another computer or server, release the address from your account page (once an hour) and start the Expert Advisor on the new one. If you run Expert Advisors on two different servers at the same time, you need two keys.
Cancelling
You can cancel at any time from your account page or the link in your receipt. The key keeps working until the end of the period you have already paid for. An Expert Advisor never closes your open trades because of a licence problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the DRF Key?
- One subscription key that unlocks every DRF Expert Advisor, including the data tools and the signal copier, and every new one added later. There are no tiers and no add-ons: the plans differ only in how often you are billed.
- How does the free trial work?
- Every new key starts with a free trial of 7 days. A card is required at checkout so that it can be validated. If you cancel during the trial you pay nothing. If you keep it, the first payment is taken at the end of the trial and the key simply stays active.
- What happens if I cancel?
- You can cancel at any time from your account page or from the link in your receipt. The key keeps working until the end of the period you have already paid for, and then stops. During the trial, it works until the trial ends.
- What happens when the period ends or a payment fails?
- When the paid period ends without a new payment, the key stops being valid and the Expert Advisors show a message and do not start. They never close trades that are already open because of a licence problem.
- How many computers can use one key?
- A key works from one IP address at a time. The first time an Expert Advisor checks it, the key is tied to that address. If you need to move it to another computer or server, release the address from your account page (once an hour) and run the Expert Advisor on the new one. If you run Expert Advisors on two different servers, you need two keys.
- Where do I find my key?
- It is emailed to the address you gave at checkout. You can also find it, see when it renews and cancel it from the account page: enter the same email address and you receive a sign-in link.
- How do I enter the key?
- Paste it into the input called "DRF Key" in the settings of each Expert Advisor, with no spaces, and make sure https://sync.donaldsonrf.com is in MetaTrader's WebRequest list.
- What if my key stops working?
- Check that the address is in the WebRequest list, that "Allow Algo Trading" is on, that the computer has internet access, and that the key is typed exactly. If it says the key is in use on a different IP address, release it from your account page. If the check cannot reach the server, the Expert Advisor keeps trying. Write to me if it still fails.
- Which currency am I charged in, and what about VAT?
- Euro. For the invoice and why no VAT is added, see the general FAQ.
- Is there a refund?
- The Refund Policy explains it: cancel during the trial and nothing is charged, and a started period is not refunded unless the licence did not work because of a fault on my side.
