4. Installing Expert Advisor
If you have already successfully uploaded the Expert Advisor to your VPS account and restarted the MetaTrader based on the instructions mentioned above, you can now install your EA on the Metatrader into your VPS account. The installation depends on the actual Expert Advisor (trading robot), which you will be using. Please see the installation guide of your EA for further installation instructions.
In case of Fapturbo EA, please follow the screenshots shown below.
1. Click the Fapturbo in the Navigator window with your right mouse button and select Attach to a Chart. You can also drag and drop Fapturbo to the chart you wish to trade.
2. On the popup window select exactly the parameters as shown on the below screenshot and click OK.
3. Please wait for Fapturbo to display the Expert ID on your chart. Once you see the Expert ID on your chart, copy it and go to the Fapturbo member area at http://www.fapturbo.com/login.php.
Also, please make sure the Expert Advisors button is pressed (turned on).
4.Inside the Fapturbo member area, click the Downloads section and scroll down to Step Four (Fapturbo Activation). In this section you will find a form where you insert the Expert ID and your Demo or Live trading account number and Fapturbo will generate for you the Activation key.
5. Once you have the Activation key from Fapturbo vendor, return back to your VPS account and click the chart you wish to trade with your right mouse button. Select Expert Advisors -> Properties.
6. In the popup window, select the Inputs tab, scroll down to the KEY field, click the value on this field and press the "F2" (f2) button on your keyboard to make the field editable. Insert the Activation key you got from Fapturbo vendor and press OK. Your Fapturbo Expert Advisor is now activated.
Please note that Fapturbo trades 7 different currency pairs: EURUSD, EURGBP, EURCHF, USDCAD, USDCHF, GBPCHF and GBPUSD. It is up to each trader to choose, which currency pairs he/she wants to trade. However the best is to try all of them. Please repeat the process of attaching and inserting Activation key for every chart you will choose to trade. The Activation key is the same for all of the charts in one demo/live trading account.
Please make sure you have the Timeframe on each chart setup correctly: EURGBP, EURCHF, USDCAD, USDCHF, GBPUSD and GBPCHF uses the M15 timeframe.
EURUSD trades a long-term strategy and therefore uses the M1 Timeframe and requires turning off the scalping strategy in the EA parameters window as shown on the below screenshot.
Metatrader of each broker comes with different set of charts, that are open on default, so it may happen that the charts for Fapturbo will not be open when you log into the VPS account for the first time. In order to open a chart, which you wish to trade, but is not open on default, click the currency pair in the Market Watch window with your right mouse button and select "Chart Window" option to open the chart. If you cannot see your currency pair in the Martket Watch, right click anywhere in the Market Watch window and click "Show All" option from the popup menu.
To nicely arrange the opened charts on the Metatrader screen, click Window -> Tile Horizontally on the top menu as on the below screenshot.
