A VPS is a remote Windows computer that stays online around the clock. It keeps your MT4 platform and EA running even when your own computer is switched off. This is essential for uninterrupted automated trading.

• Go to chocoping.com and click Pricing / Plans or Order Now.
• Select the CHOCO – 3GB plan. Choose the New York or London location for lowest latency.
• Under Operating System, select Windows Server 2019 (or 2016 if you prefer).
• Create your account using a strong password and complete the checkout process.
• After payment, ChocoPing will email you your VPS IP address, username (usually Administrator) and password. Save these details somewhere secure.

You do not install a VPS like regular software — you connect to it. When connected, you will see the VPS Windows desktop and can work on it just as if it were in front of you.

ChocoPing will email your login details when your server is ready:

To open Remote Desktop on your Windows PC:

• Click the Windows Start button on your taskbar to open the Start menu.

• Type Remote Desktop in the search bar and open the Remote Desktop Connection application.

• In the Computer field, enter your VPS IP address (found in the ChocoPing email).
• For the Username, enter Administrator.
• Click Connect, then enter the password from the ChocoPing email when prompted.

• Change the Administrator password — go to Start, then Settings, then Accounts, then Sign-in options.
• Install Windows Updates — run all important updates straight away. Set Active Hours to avoid MT4 being interrupted during trading sessions.
• Adjust power settings — go to Control Panel, then Power Options, and select High Performance. Make sure the server is set to never sleep or hibernate.
• Copy files to the VPS — the Remote Desktop clipboard lets you copy and paste files directly from your local computer to the VPS desktop. You can also use OneDrive or Google Drive as an alternative.

To activate your EA licence, you must register through one of our partner brokers using our referral link. Click here to find which brokers are available in your country.

The signup and MT4 installation process is identical for all of our partner brokers. We use RoboForex as the example in the steps below.

• Go to roboforex.com and click Sign Up or Open an Account.
• Enter your email address, full name and phone number, then verify both your email and phone.
• When asked for a partner code, enter eerse to ensure you are registered under our referral.
• Complete KYC verification by uploading a photo ID (passport or national ID card) and a proof of address (utility bill or bank statement dated within 3 months).
• Set a strong password and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in the Members Area for added security.

• In the Members Area, click Open an Account.
• Set Platform to MT4, Account Type to ProCent, and Currency to USD.
• Set your Leverage — for example 1:1000. Adjust this to suit your risk tolerance and any local regulations that apply to you.
• Enter the Partner code: eerse
• Make a note of the exact server name shown — for example RoboForex-ProCent-x. You will need this to log in to MT4 later.
• After submitting, your trading account number and trader password will be displayed on screen and also emailed to you. Save both securely.
• 📧 Email your trading account number and broker name to info@nexusforextrading.com. We will then send your licensed EA files with the licence coded to that account.

• In the Members Area, click Open a Demo Account.
• Set Platform to MT4 and Type to Pro (or ProCent Demo if available).
• Set a demo starting balance — anywhere from $1,000 to $20,000 — with matching leverage.
• Save your demo login number, password and server name as you will need these in MT4.

• In the Members Area, click Deposit Funds.
• Choose a payment method — options typically include card, e-wallet and bank transfer, though availability varies by region.
• Select your ProCent MT4 account as the destination for the deposit.
• Enter the amount. Note that on Cent accounts, depositing $1,000 will appear as 100,000 cents in your account balance — this is entirely normal and expected.
• Complete the payment flow and confirm the deposit appears correctly in your Members Area before proceeding.

• Connect to your VPS via Remote Desktop as described in Step 1.
• Inside the VPS, open a web browser and navigate to your broker website — for example roboforex.com.
• Download MetaTrader 4 (MT4) from the Members Area or the broker's dedicated MT4 download page.
• Run the installer inside the VPS and accept all the default settings when prompted.
• Launch MT4 once installation completes. If the Open an Account wizard appears automatically, close or cancel it — you already have your account credentials ready.

• In MT4, click File in the top menu, then select Login to Trade Account.
• In the Login field, enter your MT4 trading account number.
• In the Password field, enter your trader password.
• In the Server field, select or type the exact server name — for example RoboForex-ProCent-x for a live account, or RoboForex-Demo for a demo account.
• Click Login. After approximately 10 seconds, the bottom-right corner of MT4 will show green and red connection bars, confirming that you are successfully connected.

Once you receive your EA files from us by email, the first thing to do is copy them across to your VPS desktop so they are easy to access during the setup steps below.

• In MT4, click File in the top menu, then select Open Data Folder.

• In the folder that opens, double-click to open the MQL4 folder.

• Inside the MQL4 folder, open the Experts folder.

• Copy the file NexusBotsV2.ex4 from your VPS desktop and paste it into this Experts folder.

• Close the folder window, then fully exit MT4 by clicking File, then Exit. This is required to allow MT4 to recognise the new EA file on its next launch.

• Reopen MT4. The EA will now appear in the Navigator panel on the left-hand side of the platform, listed under Expert Advisors.

The Nexus EA must be run on the correct currency pair and the correct chart timeframe. Running it on the wrong timeframe will negatively affect its performance.

• In the Navigator panel on the left side of MT4, find NexusBotsV2 listed under Expert Advisors.
• Click and drag it directly onto your open chart. A settings popup window will appear automatically.

The settings popup has two important tabs. Start with the Common tab and make sure both of the following boxes are ticked:

• Allow live trading — must be ticked ✔
• Allow DLL imports — must be ticked ✔

• Click the Inputs tab at the top of the same popup window.
• Click the Load button to browse for your preset file.

• Navigate to your VPS desktop and select the correct preset file for your currency pair.
• For EURUSD, select Stag EURUSD.set
• For GBPUSD, select Stag GBPUSD.set

Still in the Inputs tab, locate the lot size field. Set a conservative starting value — we recommend starting low and increasing only as you build confidence in the EA's live performance.

• For a Cent account, start with 0.1 lots per $1,000 of balance. For example, a $2,000 balance would use 0.2 lots.
• For a Non-Cent account, start with 0.01 lots per $50,000 of balance.

• Once you have set the lot size, click OK to close the settings window and activate the EA on the chart.

If a sad face appears in the top-right corner of your chart after clicking OK, it means AutoTrading is currently disabled. You need to switch it on before the EA can place any trades.

Click the AutoTrading button in the top MT4 toolbar to toggle it on. The button will turn green when active.

Once AutoTrading is enabled, a smiley face will appear in the top-right corner of the chart. This confirms the EA is active and will begin monitoring the market.

If the EA is not opening trades, work through the questions below one by one to identify and resolve the issue.
