I downloaded a free forex robot trading system called ForexRobo by Karl Dittmann. After following the instructions, I downloaded this file to put into MetaTrader 4 experts folder.
I’m actually quite new to this so do I just log into MT4 and activate expert trader? Then I just leave my computer on and it will trade for me?
I understand that trades are not frequent, maybe once per day or once for every few days.
My final question is that do I have to constantly leave my computer on? or just on once in a while?
If you’re running it on your computer it must stay on at all times for the pairs your trying to trade with the EA. Most people use a VPS server to run MT4 on so they get reliable up time.
yes, this is true. after doing some research, it is best to use a VPN/ Remote Desktop because it can be on 24/7 as my computer cannot be on for that long.
What confuses me is which do I use? Do I use a VPN or do I use a Remote Desktop? I understand that I need to run MT4 and is it possible for VPNs to host MetaTraders? If I understand correctly, VPNs are mainly for web surfing isn’t it?
