Verification normally within 12 to 24 hours. Already with another broker? Keep it from US$49.95 a month. Nexus may receive compensation from Preferred Brokers.

Your 100% Free live licence: what you receive

- Full EURUSD EA and full GBPUSD EA

Why is it free?
You trade through a Preferred Broker, and Nexus may receive compensation from that broker. So you do not pay Nexus for the licence. Your account's trading costs (spreads, commissions, swaps) remain the broker's.

Eligibility, funding and verification apply.
Check the real-money EURUSD account yourself
An automated system should not be judged from a screenshot or a backtest. The public Nexus account is a real-money account tracked on Myfxbook: history, equity curve, drawdown and activity are visible.
Real funds, public history
The public account is a cent account running the EURUSD strategy. Amounts are shown in US cents: divide them by 100 for the US dollar equivalent. There is no public GBPUSD live record.
Do not judge from one number. Review the equity curve, the maximum historical drawdown (the largest fall from a previous account peak), the difficult periods and the length of the record.

Can you use a forex robot in Australia?
Yes. A forex EA (Expert Advisor) is software that runs inside MetaTrader on your trading account. Nexus does not provide a trading account and does not hold your funds: they stay with your broker. The CFD or forex account itself must come from a provider licensed to deal with Australian clients.
Check the provider on ASIC's registers
Before you open or fund any live account, check that the provider holds an Australian financial services licence (AFSL) and read its Product Disclosure Statement and Financial Services Guide. You can search the registers on the ASIC website and read independent guidance on Moneysmart. Complaints about licensed providers can go to AFCA.

Forex trading hours in Australian time
The forex week opens on Monday morning in Sydney and closes on Saturday morning. EURUSD and GBPUSD are most active when London and New York overlap, which is roughly 11pm to 3am AEST (midnight to 4am AEDT). That is overnight for most Australians, which is why many traders run their EA on a VPS. Perth (AWST) is two to three hours behind the east coast.
ECB and Bank of England
European rate decisions usually land around midnight or later in Australian east-coast time and can move EURUSD and GBPUSD sharply.
US Federal Reserve
Fed decisions and US jobs data arrive in the early hours of the morning in Sydney and Melbourne.
Inflation and jobs data
Euro-area, UK and US inflation and employment data change rate expectations for both pairs.
RBA and Australian data
These matter most for AUD pairs. For EURUSD and GBPUSD they are usually a smaller driver.
Nexus works from programmed conditions rather than manual forecasts. Announcements can still increase volatility, spreads and slippage. A VPS (a remote computer that keeps MetaTrader running) covers the overnight hours: see the broker and VPS guide, the economic calendar and the forex tools.

Forex EA in Australia: frequently asked questions
What is the $0 live licence for Australian traders?
It is the live licence for the complete Nexus EA pack (EURUSD + GBPUSD, MT4 and MT5), provided when you open or link an eligible live account with a Nexus Preferred Broker and fund it. You do not pay Nexus for the licence. Eligibility and verification apply.
Why is the licence free?
Because you trade through a Preferred Broker. Nexus may receive compensation from that broker when an eligible account is opened through the Nexus link. Your account's deposits, spreads, commissions and swaps remain the broker's and are separate from the software.
How do I get the free live licence?
Start on the free live licence page and choose Vantage Markets or AvaTrade. Open the account through the Nexus link (or link an existing account), fund it with an amount of your choice, then submit your MetaTrader account number. Verification normally takes 12 to 24 hours, then your files are emailed.
Which brokers can Australian traders use for the free licence?
Nexus Preferred Brokers for Australia are Vantage Markets and AvaTrade. Both offer MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 through Australian entities. Check the exact entity offered during registration, review the Product Disclosure Statement and Financial Services Guide, and confirm the chosen account allows Expert Advisors.
Can I keep my current Australian broker?
Yes, provided your broker and account are technically compatible. The Own Broker Licence covers one live and one demo account with EURUSD + GBPUSD on MT4 and MT5. It costs US$49.95 a month (cancel any time, or US$134.85 a quarter to save 10%) or US$499.95 one-time. Your broker's trading costs remain separate.
Are Nexus prices in Australian dollars?
Own Broker Licence prices are in US dollars. Your card provider converts the charge to AUD at its own exchange rate and may add a foreign transaction fee. The Preferred Broker licence costs nothing, in any currency.
Can I use a forex EA or robot in Australia?
Yes. An EA is software that runs inside MetaTrader on your own trading account. Nexus provides the software, not the account or the trading product. The CFD or forex account itself must come from a provider that is properly licensed to deal with Australian clients, so check the provider on ASIC's registers.
Do I have to start with the demo?
No. The 60-day demo is open to everyone, on any MetaTrader-compatible broker, but you can request the live licence directly. Many traders open their broker account alongside the demo to save time.
What is the difference between a forex EA, a forex robot and automated trading?
In practice these terms overlap. An EA (Expert Advisor) is a MetaTrader program that places and manages trades according to predefined rules. People also say forex robot, trading bot or automated forex trading. Nexus is an EA built for EURUSD and GBPUSD.
What leverage can Australian retail clients use?
ASIC's CFD product intervention order currently caps retail leverage at 30:1 on CFDs referencing major currency pairs, and includes margin close-out and negative balance protection. The order is due to expire on 23 May 2027 and is under review, so check the current position.
Which Nexus results are public?
The public real-money account tracks the EURUSD strategy on Myfxbook. It is a cent account: divide the displayed amounts by 100 for the US dollar equivalent. There is no public GBPUSD live record. Review the equity curve and historical drawdown before deciding.
Does Nexus promise profits or a maximum drawdown?
No. Forex and CFD trading involves a high risk of loss. No EA can remove losses, drawdown, slippage or market risk, and past performance does not predict future results. Check the historical drawdown on Myfxbook before deciding.
Do I need a VPS in Australia?
It is not mandatory, but the busiest EURUSD and GBPUSD hours fall overnight in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. A VPS keeps MetaTrader and the EA running without relying on your home computer or internet. It does not improve results by itself. See our broker and VPS guide.
I have not received my files by email. What should I do?
Files are sent from trade@nexusforextrading.com, normally within 8 to 24 hours for the demo and after verification for the live licence. Add that address to your contacts, check Spam, Junk and Promotions, and mark the message as Not spam. If nothing arrives, write to us at the same address.
