How to use a Forex VPS step by step

This is the full journey from empty Windows desktop to Expert Advisors trading while your PC is off. Follow the order below — each step links to a deeper VexaVPS guide when you need screenshots-level detail.

Trading desk with MetaTrader charts on dual monitors
  • Order → RDP login → broker MetaTrader → EA → disconnect
  • Never Sign out if AutoTrading must continue
  • Prefer broker-branded MT installers
  • Confirm ping in the MetaTrader status bar

1. Choose location and plan

Pick Singapore for most SEA broker routes or Tokyo for Japan/APAC paths. Size the plan by concurrent MetaTrader instances (Scalper ≈ 1–2, Trader ≈ 3, Pro Desk ≈ 6, Fund Desk ≈ 12). Checkout on VexaVPS currently uses PayPal — after payment, confirm in chat so we can provision your VPS.

2. Collect IP, username, and password

When the VPS is ready, open the client area / welcome email. Note the public IP, Windows user (usually Administrator), and password. Wait a few minutes after first boot before the first RDP attempt.

3. Connect with Remote Desktop

On Windows press Win+R → mstsc → enter the IP → Connect. On Mac/iPhone/Android use Microsoft Remote Desktop. Accept the first-time certificate warning. Inside Windows, set power options so Sleep is Never. Full walkthrough: Connect RDP guide.

4. Install MetaTrader from your broker

Open a browser on the VPS (not on your home PC). Download MT4 or MT5 from the broker site so the server list is preloaded. Log in with account number, trading password, and exact server name. Status should show Connected plus ping ms. Details: Install MetaTrader guide.

5. Attach EAs and enable AutoTrading

Copy .ex4/.ex5 into the Data Folder Experts path, restart MT, drag the EA onto a chart, allow live trading, and turn the AutoTrading / Algo Trading button green. Add MetaTrader to Windows Startup if you want auto-reopen after reboot. Details: Run EA 24/7 guide.

6. Disconnect — leave the session running

Close the RDP window or choose Disconnect. Do not Sign out / Log off. MetaTrader stays open on the VPS and EAs keep working. Reconnect anytime from phone or PC to check positions.

Setup FAQ

How long until I can RDP after order?

Provisioning is manual while we run PayPal + chat confirmation. Once the VPS shows Running, RDP is available within minutes of boot.

Must RDP stay connected for EAs?

No. Disconnect is enough. The Windows session continues on the server.

Where are the detailed click-path guides?

See /guides for RDP, MetaTrader install, EA 24/7, location choice, and troubleshooting.
