The Nexus Forex EA is a pair of rules-based Expert Advisors (EAs), one for EURUSD and one for GBPUSD, that run inside MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 and place, manage and close trades automatically according to fixed rules. You install the files on your own terminal and attach them to a chart. The software handles execution, while your account and funds stay with your broker. You can test both EAs free on a demo account for 60 days before deciding anything about live trading.
This guide explains how the Nexus trading bot works on MT4 and MT5, how to set it up, what the public live results do and do not show, and the two ways to get a live licence.

An Expert Advisor is a program that runs inside the MetaTrader platform and can open, manage and close trades without you placing each one by hand. The Nexus Forex EA is the Nexus Forex Trading version: the Nexus EURUSD EA and the Nexus GBPUSD EA, always supplied together and built for both MT4 and MT5. If you have seen it described as the Nexus trading bot or the Nexus EURUSD GBPUSD EA, it is the same product.
A program inside MetaTrader that can open, manage and close trades without you placing each one by hand.
It acts on written rules rather than a fresh human decision each time. That removes the clicking, not the risk.
Other names for the same kind of software. The Nexus trading bot is the EURUSD and GBPUSD EA pair.
It also helps to be clear about what Nexus is not. Nexus provides software and education only. It does not hold your money, manage your account or give personal financial advice, and you remain responsible for the account the EA trades on.

Run both Nexus EAs on your own MT4 or MT5 demo account for 60 days and judge them on what you see, not on what we say.
Your demo licence simply ends after 60 days. Nothing continues automatically.
The Nexus EA is not a separate app. It is a set of files you load into your MetaTrader terminal and attach to a chart. Each EA is designed for its own pair, so you attach the EURUSD EA to a EURUSD chart and the GBPUSD EA to a GBPUSD chart. Once automated trading is allowed, the EA follows its rules on that chart and places, manages and closes trades through your broker account.
| Handled by the EA | Stays with you |
|---|---|
| Placing, managing and closing trades according to its fixed rules | Choosing your broker and platform |
| Acting on the chart it is attached to, without you clicking each trade | Funding the account and deciding how much is at risk |
| Running the same rules every time, whatever the mood of the day | Keeping the terminal running and connected |
| Nothing else. It does not hold or move your money | Monitoring results and deciding whether to continue, go live or stop |
Because the EA lives inside the terminal, it only trades while the terminal is open, logged in and allowed to run automated trading. Close the laptop or lose the connection and the EA stops with it. That is why many users run MetaTrader on a VPS, short for virtual private server, which is a remote computer that stays switched on. A VPS is optional and is a separate cost. Our forex VPS and broker recommendations page explains the options.
A Nexus licence is issued to a named trading account, not to you in general. A demo licence is tied to the one demo account you gave when you applied. A live licence is tied to the live account Nexus verifies. That is why the account number and platform you submit need to match what you actually trade on. It is also why Nexus never needs your broker password or your MetaTrader password: it only needs the account details to issue the licence.
Both platforms are supported, and the same pair of EAs is supplied either way. MT4 is the older platform and is still widely offered by brokers. MT5 is the newer one. In practice the choice usually comes down to what your broker offers and which platform you are more comfortable using.
| Nexus Forex EA on MT4 | Nexus Forex EA on MT5 | |
|---|---|---|
| Supported by Nexus | Yes, both EAs | Yes, both EAs |
| Public live record | One real-money cent account, EURUSD EA only | Not covered by the public record, so test it on demo |
| Often the better fit if | Your broker offers it and you want to match the platform of the public record | Your broker offers MT5 or you prefer the newer platform |
Whichever you choose, run the demo on the same platform you intend to use live. That way, what you observe during the 60 days is what you would actually be running.
Setting up the Nexus trading bot takes six steps. The full walkthrough is in the Nexus EA setup guide.
If nothing seems to be happening, check the basics first: you are logged in to the licensed account, automated trading is switched on in the terminal, the EA is enabled on its chart, and the terminal is connected to the broker. The setup guide covers each of these, and our support team can help if something still looks wrong.
The public evidence for the Nexus Forex EA is one real-money USD cent account on Myfxbook. You can view the Myfxbook account yourself, and our live results page sets it out alongside the risks.
A cent account holds its balance in cent units, so every figure it shows is 100 times the USD equivalent. Divide by 100 to read the numbers in dollars. Some traders use cent accounts to keep the amount at risk small while they watch an EA trade with real money.
There is no public live record for the GBPUSD EA. The live evidence covers the EURUSD EA only, so nothing here should be read as live evidence for GBPUSD.
One account is one account. It shows what happened there, not what will happen on yours.
Demo results and backtests are not live results. They are useful for checking that the EA runs on your setup, not for predicting returns.
Drawdown is the fall from a peak in account value to a later low, and it is one of the most useful measures of how uncomfortable a strategy can be to hold. Myfxbook shows a large all-time maximum drawdown on this account, and the largest fall came in January 2026. We would rather you see that before you test than after. The forex EA drawdown calculator lets you see what a fall of any size would mean on a balance of your choosing.
There are three routes in total. The free demo comes first. When it ends, there are two ways to keep the Nexus Forex EA running on a live account. Both give you the same EURUSD and GBPUSD EAs for MT4 and MT5. The difference is your broker and how the licence is paid for.
Best if you want to see it run before anything else.
Start free demo →Best if you are happy to use a partner broker.
Get free live access →Best if you want to stay with your current broker.
Buy Own Broker Licence →Nexus may receive compensation from Preferred Brokers. Eligibility, account funding and verification requirements apply.
Nexus may receive compensation from Preferred Brokers, and that is how the $0 licence is funded. Eligibility depends on where you live, and RoboForex has restrictions for UK clients, so check the forex broker by country page before you open anything.
If you would rather stay with your current broker, the Own Broker Licence is a one-time $499.95. It covers one live and one demo account licence, both EAs, MT4 and MT5, presets, documentation, updates and support. You buy online and enter your broker, platform and live account number at checkout. Broker compatibility must be confirmed before Nexus is used on a live account.
Yes. Both the EURUSD and GBPUSD EAs are supplied for MT4 and MT5. The public live record is an MT4 account, so if you choose MT5, use the demo to confirm it behaves as you expect.
The 60-day demo is free. For live trading, the Preferred Broker route carries a $0 Nexus licence for eligible funded accounts, and the Own Broker Licence is $499.95 one-time. Your broker's own trading costs, and a VPS if you use one, are separate.
Yes. The demo gives you both EAs on one demo account for 60 days, with the files emailed within 8–24 hours. When it ends, nothing continues automatically and nothing needs cancelling.
No. The public live evidence is one real-money USD cent account running the EURUSD EA only. There is no public GBPUSD live record, so judge the GBPUSD EA on your own demo testing.
Yes. Like any trading system, it can lose money, and the public record includes a large drawdown. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
No. Nexus never requires your broker password, your MetaTrader password or access to your funds to verify an account or issue a licence.
Request the demo, follow the setup guide, watch it for 60 days, then decide. If you later want a live licence, both routes stay open.
We do not give investment advice, but we can explain the practical options for your country and broker. Nexus may receive compensation from Preferred Brokers.
