To copy our trades, you need MetaTrader 5 and a broker that offers XAUUSD (spot gold).
MetaTrader 5 (Required)
Our Slave EA only works on MT5. It will not work on MT4.
Download MT5 from your broker or from MetaQuotes directly. Install it on your computer or VPS.
Broker Requirements
Your broker must offer XAUUSD (spot gold) trading. Most forex brokers do.
You also need a broker that allows Expert Advisors (EAs). Some brokers block automated trading, so check before opening an account.
Recommended Brokers
We recommend:
- IC Markets - Low spreads, fast execution, EA-friendly
- Blueberry Markets - Great for gold trading
- Pepperstone - Reliable and well-regulated
- OANDA - Trusted broker with good spreads
- AMP Futures - If trading gold futures instead of spot
VPS Hosting (Recommended)
A VPS (Virtual Private Server) keeps MT5 running 24/7 without requiring your computer to be on.
We recommend:
- Forex VPS - Optimized for MT5
- Vultr - Budget-friendly cloud hosting
- AWS Lightsail - Reliable and scalable
Account Size
We recommend starting with at least ,000. Our position sizing scales to your account balance, but smaller accounts have less flexibility.
With ,000, you can trade 0.01 lots comfortably. With 0,000, you can trade 0.05 lots.
Lot Sizing
Use 0.01 lots per ,000 account balance. This keeps risk manageable.
If you have a prop firm account with a ,000 drawdown limit on a 00,000 account, use 0.01-0.02 lots max.
Internet Connection
You need a stable internet connection. If your connection drops frequently, trades might not copy properly.
This is why we recommend VPS hosting. VPS servers have 99.9% uptime and fast connections.
That Is It
MT5, a broker with XAUUSD, and ideally a VPS. That's all you need to start copying our trades.
