Public real-money results
Public tracking
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.
Public tracking
Real funds, public history
The public account is a cent account running the EURUSD strategy. Amounts are shown in 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 difficult periods and the length of the record.

Understand Nexus first
See How the Nexus Forex EA Works
Watch how Nexus works, review the public real-money results, then get your 100% Free Live Trading Licence through a Preferred Broker, or test the software on a 60-day demo first.
Rules-Based AutomationNexus evaluates programmed market conditions and manages trades according to its defined strategy logic.
Position & Exposure ControlsPosition size and account exposure remain important. Nexus configuration includes lot-size and account-risk settings rather than a promise of fixed risk outcomes.
Public Live EvidenceThe Nexus EURUSD real-money account can be reviewed publicly through Myfxbook before you request your licence.
Nexus in the UK
Can you use a forex robot in the UK?
Yes. A forex EA is software that runs inside MetaTrader on your trading account, wherever you are in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. Nexus provides the software, not a trading account, and does not hold your funds: they stay with your broker. The forex or CFD account itself must come from a firm that is allowed to offer that service to UK clients.
Check the firm on the FCA Register
Before you open or fund a live account, check which legal entity holds it and whether it is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA Register shows authorised firms, and the FCA publishes warnings about unauthorised ones. A well-known brand name is not proof that the entity serving you is authorised.

GBPUSD EA for UK traders
A natural UK focus: the Nexus GBPUSD EA
GBPUSD, known to traders as "cable", is sterling against the dollar, so it has obvious relevance for UK traders. Nexus provides a dedicated GBPUSD EA alongside its separate EURUSD EA, and both are included in the 100% Free Live Trading Licence.
What moves GBPUSD
- Bank of England rate decisions and guidance.
- UK CPI inflation, jobs and GDP data.
- US Federal Reserve policy and US data on the dollar side.
- Announcements can raise volatility, spreads and slippage.
Pair-specific automation
Nexus uses separate EURUSD and GBPUSD EAs rather than one generic EA for every pair. The public Myfxbook account tracks the EURUSD strategy, so there is no public live record for GBPUSD. Test the GBPUSD EA on the free 60-day demo if you want to see it first.
Before you fund an account
Five checks on the account offered
| Check | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Legal entity | Which company provides the account, and in which country is it authorised? The same brand can use several entities. |
| FCA status | Is the entity on the FCA Register, and does the register entry cover the service you are being offered? |
| MT4 / MT5 + EA | Does the chosen account type (CFD or spread betting) allow MetaTrader and Expert Advisors? |
| Trading costs | Spreads, commissions, overnight financing and withdrawal fees, separate from the Nexus software. |
| Protection | Which investor protection or compensation scheme, if any, applies to the entity holding your account? Check the FSCS and the client agreement. |

EURUSD and GBPUSD from the UK
The forex market on UK time
The forex week opens around 10pm UK time on Sunday and closes around 10pm on Friday. London is the world's largest forex centre and opens at about 8am. EURUSD and GBPUSD are usually most active when London and New York overlap, roughly 1pm to 5pm UK time (an hour earlier for a few weeks in March and late October, when US and UK clocks change on different dates).
Bank of England
Rate decisions and guidance can move sterling sharply, usually at midday UK time.
UK data
CPI inflation, jobs and GDP releases, usually at 7am, shape expectations for GBPUSD.
ECB and euro area
ECB decisions and euro-area inflation drive the euro side of EURUSD.
US Federal Reserve
US jobs data lands in the UK early afternoon; Fed decisions usually in the UK evening.
Nexus works from programmed conditions rather than manual forecasts. Follow announcements on our economic calendar and forex tools. A VPS (a remote computer that keeps MetaTrader running, often hosted in London near broker servers) is covered in the broker and VPS guide.
Investor protection
UK retail CFD rules and warning signs
What UK retail CFD rules typically include
- Leverage limits for retail clients, with 30:1 on major currency pairs.
- Automatic margin close-out protection.
- Negative balance protection, per account.
- Standardised risk warnings from the provider.
These rules depend on the entity holding your account and your client classification. Check the terms of the account you are offered and the FCA guidance.
Common warning signs
- Promised or guaranteed returns.
- A firm you cannot find on the FCA Register.
- Pressure to deposit quickly or to recruit others.
- Slogans such as "financial freedom" or "passive income".
The FCA regularly warns about unauthorised firms. Nexus promises no returns and does not hold your funds.
FAQ
Forex robot in the UK: frequently asked questions
What is the 100% Free Live Trading Licence for UK 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 overnight financing remain the broker's and are separate from the software.
How do I get the 100% Free Live Trading Licence?
Start on the free licence page and choose a Preferred Broker. 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 Preferred Brokers can UK traders use?
Nexus lists Vantage Markets, AvaTrade and RoboForex. All offer MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, with several account types depending on the broker. UK availability depends on the legal entity offered to you, so check it on the FCA Register at registration and confirm the account allows Expert Advisors.
Can UK traders use RoboForex for Nexus?
RoboForex is a Nexus Preferred Broker, but it has published restrictions that can affect UK clients. Check its current terms and the entity offered to you before you open or fund an account. If it does not accept you, choose Vantage Markets or AvaTrade, or use the Own Broker Licence with another compatible broker.
Can I use a forex EA or robot in the UK?
Yes. An EA is software that runs inside MetaTrader on your own trading account. Nexus provides the software, not the account. The forex or CFD account itself must come from a firm that is allowed to serve UK clients, so check the FCA Register for the exact legal entity.
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.
Can I keep my current UK broker, and how much does it cost?
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 $49.95 a month (cancel any time), $134.85 a quarter (save 10%) or $499.95 one-time. Your broker's trading costs remain separate.
Are Nexus prices in pounds?
Own Broker Licence prices are in US dollars. Your bank or card provider converts the charge to sterling at its own rate and may add a non-sterling transaction fee. The 100% Free Live Trading Licence and the 60-day demo cost nothing.
Can I run Nexus on a spread betting account?
Only if the account runs on MetaTrader 4 or 5 and allows Expert Advisors. Some UK brokers offer MetaTrader spread betting accounts and others do not, so ask the broker before you fund it.
What is the difference between a forex EA, a forex robot and a trading bot?
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, forex trading bot or automated forex trading. Nexus is an EA built for EURUSD and GBPUSD.
What leverage applies to UK retail clients on forex CFDs?
UK retail rules generally cap leverage at 30:1 on major currency pairs, with margin close-out and negative balance protection. Exact treatment depends on the legal entity, your client classification and the account type, so read your client agreement.
Does Nexus have a GBPUSD EA?
Yes. Nexus includes a dedicated GBPUSD EA alongside the EURUSD EA. The public Myfxbook account tracks the EURUSD strategy only; there is no public GBPUSD live record.
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. 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.
Does Nexus have access to my funds or passwords?
No. Your funds stay with your broker. Nexus only needs your MetaTrader account number to prepare the licence, never your trading password.
Do I need a VPS to run Nexus?
It is not mandatory, but a VPS keeps MetaTrader and the EA running without relying on your home computer or broadband. It does not improve results by itself. See our broker and VPS guide.
How are forex trading gains taxed in the UK?
That depends on your personal situation, the account type and current HMRC rules. Nexus does not provide tax or investment advice. Speak to a qualified tax adviser before you trade live.
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.
