Installing an Expert Advisor (EA) on a VPS terminal typically involves using a MetaTrader platform (MT4 or MT5). This guide will help you install the EA on an already set up MetaTrader platform.
Steps to Install an EA on a VPS
1. Log into Your VPS:
• Use Remote Desktop (RDP) to access your VPS.
• Enter the provided IP address, username, and password.
2. Ensure MetaTrader Is Installed:
• If MetaTrader is not installed, download it from your broker’s website and install it on the VPS.
3. Transfer the EA File:
• Locate your EA file on your local machine (e.g., .ex4 for MT4 or .ex5 for MT5).
• Open MetaTrader on the VPS and navigate to File > Open Data Folder.
• Go to the MQL4 folder (for MT4) or MQL5 folder (for MT5) and open the Experts folder.
• Copy and paste your EA file into this folder.
4. Activate the EA in MetaTrader:
• Open the Navigator panel in MetaTrader (press Ctrl + N).
• Find your EA under Expert Advisors.
• Drag the EA onto a chart.
• In the EA settings window, ensure Live Trading is enabled, and click OK.
5 Enable Auto-Trading:
• In the MetaTrader toolbar, click the Auto-Trading button to enable automatic trading.
Your Expert Advisor should now be running on the VPS terminal.
