You can easily import trading projects into Profectus.ai. This is useful if you’ve exported a strategy before or if another trader has shared a project with you.
How It Works
Projects can only be imported if they were originally created in Profectus.AI.
The file you import must be in .mq5 format, which is the export format used in Profectus.AI.
When you import, you can choose to either:
Overwrite your current project (replace everything on the canvas).
Create a new project (keep your current work and add the imported one as a separate project).
What Gets Imported
When you import a project, all its properties are copied automatically, including:
Project name
Description
Magic number
Sharing link
Strategy logic (all blocks and connections)
This ensures the imported project is identical to the original and ready to run or edit.
Steps to Import
Open the Profectus.AI builder.
Click Import Project.
Select the .mq5 file from your computer.
Choose:
Overwrite current project (replace canvas), or
Create new project (add as a new entry).
Confirm → the project will load with all its properties intact.
Best Practices
Use Create new project if you want to keep your current work safe.
Always double-check the magic number to ensure imported bots don’t interfere with existing bots running in the same trading account.
Imported projects can be shared with others — simply re-export and send the .mq5 file.
