Self-hosting

How it works

• You install the EA on your MetaTrader 5 terminal and attach it to a chart with your license key.
• The EA enforces your rules locally — the enforcement happens on your machine, at execution time.
• Your dashboard syncs through read-only investor credentials, which cannot place, modify, or close trades, and cannot move funds.

The trade-off

Self-hosting gives you maximum credential control and asks for operational discipline in return: enforcement only runs while your terminal runs. If the machine sleeps, updates, or loses its connection, your rules aren't being applied — and a rule that's off during the session that matters is worth very little.

Many self-hosters run the terminal on a small VPS for this reason. If you'd rather not maintain one, managed hosting does it for you.

Requirements

• MetaTrader 5, with Algo Trading enabled.
• A machine that stays on and connected during your trading hours.
• One allowed-URL setting in MT5 so the EA can reach our servers — the single most common setup snag, covered step-by-step in the docs.
• Self-hosting is available on the Pro plan.
