Once you’ve selected a broker and opened an account with them, you can proceed to install Golden Pickaxe Expert Advisor in order to start trading with it
There are three different things you will need for that:
VPS (Virtual private server): A virtual machine offered as a service, that can be accessed remotely. I strongly recommend you to install my EAs on a VPS to ensure they will be able to run continuously without interruptions, or needing to have your PC switched on all day long.
Trading platform (MetaTrader 4 or 5): The gateway platform that will connect your Forex broker and my Expert Advisors. You will be using MetaTrader 4 or 5, the most popular and complete platforms used for Forex retail trading.
Expert Advisor files: These are my Expert Advisor .EX4/.EX5 files that you will be loading in your MetaTrader 4 or 5 platform, in order to trade with them in your account.
To make the installation process as simple and flexible as possible, you can choose three different options:
“Easy installation” (recommended): Where you get everything done for you, by simply accessing to a ValeryVPS server, where you’ll find all my Expert Advisors already downloaded, installed & configured in all of the main MetaTrader brokers, ready to go. Best for beginner/intermediate traders.
“Manual installation”: Where you download, install, and configure my Expert Advisors by yourself, in your preferred VPS or your own computer. Best for advanced/professional traders.
“MQL5 installation”: Where you download, install and configure my Expert Advisors in your MQL5 VPS or own PC, directly through the MQL5 marketplace platform.
It’s up to you which one to choose, and it will probably depend on how much experience you have with Expert Advisors and MetaTrader platforms in general.
