VPS WALKTHROUGH
Once you’re connected to your VPS via Remote Desktop, the actual MT5 + EA setup takes a few minutes. This is the step-by-step you follow inside the VPS desktop. Screenshots are placeholders for now — they’ll be added before public launch.
OPEN METATRADER 5
MT5 is pre-installed on the VPS desktop. Double-click the MetaTrader 5 icon to launch it. On first start it will ask for your broker’s login details.
LOG IN WITH YOUR BROKER CREDENTIALS
Enter the login number, password, and server your broker emailed you. Choose the “existing trade account” option, not “new demo account”.
Once connected, your live account balance appears in the bottom-left of the MT5 window.
OPEN A CHART FOR EACH PAIR
From the top menu, choose File → New Chart and pick the pair (e.g. AUDCAD). Repeat for each pair your region trades:
- EU/EEA: AUDCAD, EURUSD
- International / US: EURGBP, AUDCAD, EURUSD
DRAG THE ATLASSYNC EA ONTO EACH CHART
In the Navigator panel on the left (View → Navigator if hidden), expand Expert Advisors and find Atlassync. Drag it onto each pair’s chart.
A settings dialog opens for each chart. Paste your webhook secret (generated on the Setup page after subscribing) into the WebhookSecret field. Leave the other inputs at default.
ENABLE AUTOTRADING
Click the AutoTrading button in MT5’s top toolbar. When enabled, it turns green. The EA will start managing trades on each chart.
You’ll see a small smiley face on each chart’s top-right when the EA is running. A frowning face means the EA is loaded but AutoTrading isn’t enabled yet.
VERIFY ON YOUR DASHBOARD
Within a minute, your Atlassync dashboard will start showing your live account — balance, equity, open positions, and the EA Controls panel. If it doesn’t, open the dashboard and check the EA status indicator.
- EA shows a frowning face: AutoTrading isn’t enabled. Click the AutoTrading button in MT5’s toolbar (it should turn green).
- Dashboard shows DISCONNECTED for a pair: The EA on that chart isn’t reporting yet. Check the chart’s top-right corner for a smiley face (= running) or a sand-glass icon (= EA was just attached, give it a minute).
- Webhook secret rejected: Regenerate the secret on the Setup page and paste the new value into each chart’s EA settings. Reload each EA (right-click chart → Expert Advisors → Properties → OK).
- Lost VPS access: Check the welcome email for the IP, username and password. If credentials don’t work, contact support — we may need to reset the VPS password.
