This guide is for DaneTrades Cloud. Do not install the Local Copier EA, configure WebRequest or keep your own Windows VPS running for this connection.
Before you start
Have:
- the broker account number;
- the trading password;
- the exact MT4 broker server assigned to that account.
The server matters. Similar broker server names are not interchangeable.
Connect the account
- Open Trading Accounts.
- Select Add Account.
- Choose MT4.
- Enter the account number.
- Enter the trading password.
- Enter the exact broker server shown for that MT4 account.
- Add an optional nickname.
- Continue while DaneTrades discovers and verifies the account.
- Confirm the intended account when the selection step appears.
Enter the server name or host supplied for the account. Do not guess a different Live, Demo or similarly named server.
Verify the result
The account should appear in Trading Accounts. It can show Connecting while verification or symbol download is still in progress.
Wait until it shows Connected and its symbols are available before using it in a copier.
Common problems
Invalid login
Confirm the account number, trading password and exact MT4 server. A password that opens one account or server does not prove it is correct for another.
Wrong server
Copy the server from the account's MT4 login details or broker information. Avoid choosing a similarly named Live or Demo server by assumption.
Investor or read-only password
A read-only password is not suitable for an account that must receive copied trade actions. Use the correct trading credential in the secure connection form.
Account remains Connecting
Allow the current discovery, verification and symbol request to finish, then refresh Trading Accounts. Do not start the same connection repeatedly while the first request is still running.
Symbols fail to load
The account cannot be selected for a copier until its symbol catalogue is ready. If loading repeatedly fails, continue through Support Assistant with the account selected.
First test
- Create one copier.
- Confirm Symbol Mapping, especially broker prefixes or suffixes.
- Use a small fixed lot or conservative multiplier.
- Place one simple test trade.
- Confirm the outcome in Trade activity.
When to continue to support
Continue when the exact MT4 server and credentials are confirmed but verification repeatedly fails, the account never becomes Connected or the symbol list cannot load.
Do not send your MT4 password in the conversation.
