STEP 01

Check your inbox

Your activation key arrives by email the instant Stripe checkout completes. It looks like this:

CRTQ-7F2A-9K4D-XXXX-XXXX

If it is not in your inbox within a minute, check spam and promotions. Still missing? Email support with your checkout email and we will resend it.

STEP 02

Download & install

Download the installer and run Cortiq-win-Setup.exe. It installs in a couple of clicks — no admin rights needed — and adds a Start-menu shortcut. Works on Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit.

Download for Windows

The installer is signed by Decode The Trade Ltd, so you will see our verified publisher name, not an “unknown publisher” warning. On the very first downloads, Windows may still briefly show a protection screen while SmartScreen catches up — if it does, More info → Run anyway is safe. Prefer to verify first?

STEP 03

Paste your key

On first launch, paste your key. It binds to your machine — one key activates up to two machines — and verifies on every startup. Then connect your MT5 terminal and your AI provider, and you are live.

What you'll need

Three things, and you are ready to run a session.

A Windows 10/11 PC

Cortiq is a Windows desktop app. No web version, no mobile.

An MT5 broker account

It trades over a local ZeroMQ bridge to your MetaTrader 5 terminal.

An AI provider

Bring your own: a local model, OpenRouter, your ChatGPT or Claude plan, or a provider API key.
