Pre-requisites

Before you can start using the sender EA, following pre-requisites must be met. Without these, the setup will not work.

  • Get a forex VPS from a trusted windows VPS provider with static IP address. THIS IS MUST. Without this the setup will NOT work. Identify a free port that can be used for fast trade copying tunnel creation. This is any 4-5 digit number. Just make sure this port number is not already in use AND the port is enabled for inbound traffic in the Windows Defender Firewall.
  • Approve the copiers with their account numbers in the members area by going to "Manage copiers" link. Here add the userid and account number of the copier you want to approve.
  • Make sure your copiers know the IP address and port number that you are planning to use for fast and reliable copying. This is needed for the EAs on both sides to open a fast trade copy tunnel between the two MT4 instances.
