Introduction to EA Connect

EA Connect is a Traders Connect product that hosts your MetaTrader Expert Advisors in the cloud. Upload your compiled EA, configure its settings, and connect your trading account—without managing a VPS or using remote desktop.

What Is EA Connect?

EA Connect provides cloud hosting for MetaTrader Expert Advisors through Traders Connect.

Instead of installing and maintaining a trading terminal on your own VPS, you upload your EA to EA Connect. The service hosts the terminal and loads the EA, while you manage its settings through an online interface.

Your hosted terminal continues running when you close your laptop.

Who Is It For?

EA Connect is for traders who already have a MetaTrader Expert Advisor and want to:

• Run it without maintaining their own VPS.
• Manage EA inputs from a phone, tablet, or laptop.
• View hosted EA status and floating profit and loss in one place.

Supported EA Files

EA Connect accepts compiled MetaTrader Expert Advisor files:

• .ex4 files for MetaTrader 4.
• .ex5 files for MetaTrader 5.

Managing Your EAs

The EA Connect interface provides visibility into your hosted instances, including:

• Instance status, such as running, spinning up, or paused.
• Floating profit and loss.
• Control-plane logs showing hosting and instance events.

You can also manage EA input settings from your device without opening a remote desktop session.
