Installation Guide

Installation of Trading Assistant is quite easy and here you can find all required steps. We recommend to use VPS (Virtual Private Server) as then you are sure tool is running without any disruptions (especially if you want to operate mostly on the TA mobile app). If you don’t have a VPS, we recommend fxvm.net. You can of course run it on your own PC if you prefer or for testing.

  1. Prerequisites
    • MetaTrader4 for Desktop – if you don’t have it installed yet, you can download it here: MetaTrader4 (make sure you download MT4 for Desktop and not MetaTrader 5).
    • Trading account (demo or real) – if you don’t have a trading account yet, you can open it with any broker. 
    • Trading Assistant .ex4 file. If you don’t have it yet, get it here.
