    Forex platform
    The first thing to do is to install a Forex platform called MetaTrader. The latest supported version is 5, although
    version 4 can work as well. If you already have a Forex broker account, download it from their official website.
    Otherwise go to www.metatrader5.com and download it from there. If you are planning to use VPS (virtual
    private server), then you should do all these steps on that remote server.

    MetaTrader installation steps


    1. Run downloaded installer file (e.g. mt5setup.exe).
    2. Follow wizard installation steps.
    3. After installation is done, the platform should run automatically.
    For help with installation, please follow this link: MetaTrader 5 Help - Platform Installation.

    Open a Demo Account


    If you do not have any broker’s account yet, you can create a new demo (testing) account in the trading
    platform. To do that manually, click "Open an Account" in the File menu or in the context menu of the Navigator
    window. Fill out the details and you should be given Login, Password (master and investor), Server and other
    account details (save the account details in a safe place).
    Alternatively go to your Forex broker website and create the account from there.
    For more details, click on the following page: Demo Account Opening.

    Open a Live Account


    Opening a live account is a similar process to demo account. You can try to create a real account from the
    trading platform. Alternatively, a better way, is to create it on your Forex broker’s website.
    For more details, please follow: Live Account Opening steps.

    Connecting to your broker


    Once you have a broker account, you can connect to it within the platform by typing your Login, Password and
    Server.
    For more details, please follow this link: Connect to an Account.
    Forex broker
    In order to start trading, you need to open an account with a Forex broker. Make sure they support the
    MetaTrader platform (either 4 or 5). If you do not have it yet, find one which is popular in your country and go to
    their website, then create a new account.
    If you are not sure which one to use, check the following review page: Best MetaTrader Brokers 2021.
    When deciding you should look for low trading spreads or low commission fees.

    VPS (virtual private server)


    A virtual private server (VPS) is recommended when you want to run a trading robot for 24 hours and 5 days a
    week. Otherwise when you shutdown your personal computer or laptop with the platform installed, or in case of
    any connectivity issues, opening new trading orders is going to stop. Here are brief steps how to set it up:
    1. Create a new VPS with your hosting provider (a Windows-based operating system is recommended).
    2. Login to your remote server (via RDP or VNC).
    3. Download and install MetaTrader platform.
    4. Connect the platform to your existing Forex broker account (Login, Password and Server).
    5. Download EA trading robot and place it under the Expert Advisor folder.
    6. Next follow EA installation steps below.
