Exness’s automated trading (EA) is a system that executes trades automatically according to pre-programmed trading rules. By installing an EA (Expert Advisor) on Exness’s MT4 (MetaTrader 4) or MT5 (MetaTrader 5), you can conduct automated trading.For example, if you use an EA programmed to "buy when the USD/JPY rate reaches 150 yen," an order will be placed automatically once the conditions are met, without you having to place the order yourself. With automated trading, all trades are executed automatically, so unlike discretionary trading, they are not influenced by emotions. Additionally, even those who find it difficult to set aside time for trading or beginners in FX can take advantage of automated trading to ensure they don’t miss out on trading opportunities.
Exness’s automated trading (EA) is compatible with the desktop versions of MT4 (MetaTrader 4) and MT5 (MetaTrader 5). You can start automated trading by installing your desired EA (Expert Advisor) on Exness’s MT4 or MT5. Please note that EAs are not compatible between MT4 and MT5, so be sure to install and use an EA that is compatible with your trading platform.
Compared to MT5, MT4 offers a wider variety of EAs, which are available for free or for a fee across various communities, making it easy for anyone to implement an EA. On the other hand, MT5 features significantly enhanced backtesting capabilities and processing power compared to MT4, allowing you to thoroughly evaluate the performance of automated trading strategies. Choose the trading platform that best suits your trading style and enjoy automated trading.
Exness’s automated trading (EA) is compatible with all five account types: Standard, Standard Cent, Low Spread, Zero, and Pro.Since automated trading is available without restrictions on any account type, you can choose the account that best suits your trading style. In particular, Exness’s Zero Account is highly recommended for automated trading, as it allows you to trade major currency pairs with a spread of 0.0 pips during most trading hours. Please review the features of each account type and select the one that best aligns with your EA’s trading strategy.
Exness offers leverage of up to 2,000:1 (*)—a rarity in the industry—along with spreads as low as 0.0 pips, among the tightest in the industry. These same favorable conditions apply to automated trading. Exness provides a trading environment that is ideally suited for automated trading, so please experience the convenience of automated trading for yourself.
(*) Leveraged trading involves high risk, and you may lose all of your invested capital. Please ensure you fully understand the risks before trading.
Exness offers leverage of up to 2,000:1 across all account types. Since you can utilize this high leverage under the same conditions for automated trading, you can take on large trades even with limited capital.While trading with high leverage involves risks, using automated trading allows you to execute consistent trades automatically without being swayed by emotions, thereby mitigating the risks associated with high leverage. Please enjoy automated trading while efficiently generating profits under proper risk management.
Exness offers industry-leading tight spreads starting from as low as 0.0 pips. Since these same spreads apply to automated trading, they are well-suited for high-frequency automated trading, allowing you to trade while keeping costs low.Furthermore, at Exness, spreads on major currency pairs (such as USD/JPY and EUR/USD) are fixed during 90% of trading hours, allowing you to use automated trading in a stable, low-spread environment. By conducting automated trading on instruments with fixed spreads, it becomes easier to track unrealized losses while holding positions, enabling more precise risk management.
Furthermore, Exness offers low spreads and is well-suited for scalping EAs, allowing you to enjoy automated trading under favorable conditions. While many brokers prohibit scalping trades using EAs (Expert Advisors), Exness imposes no restrictions on trading methods. Even beginners in FX trading can enjoy automated trading while keeping costs low and without missing out on profit opportunities.
Scalping is a trading strategy that involves repeatedly buying and selling over short time frames—ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes—to accumulate small profits. While the profit from a single trade is modest, the short duration of each position allows you to trade while minimizing the risk of loss.Since scalping involves a high volume of trades, choosing the right FX broker and account type is crucial for keeping trading costs low. Exness offers spreads starting from as low as 0.0 pips—below the industry average—and no transaction fees, allowing you to trade while keeping costs to a minimum. Additionally, Exness imposes no specific restrictions on scalping, so you can enjoy scalping with peace of mind.
Exness offers a free VPS (Virtual Private Server) to users who meet certain criteria. VPS stands for Virtual Private Server; it consists of multiple independent virtual servers running on a single physical server, allowing users to freely utilize each virtual server. By running an EA (Expert Advisor) on a VPS, you can trade 24 hours a day even when your PC is turned off, and you won’t be affected by internet connection issues.A VPS maximizes the performance of automated trading and is an essential service for running systems 24 hours a day. Please note that there are certain requirements to use Exness’s VPS for free, and you must meet at least one of the following conditions.
To use automated trading (EA) on Exness, you need to install your desired EA (Expert Advisor) on the Exness trading platform (MT4/MT5) and configure the initial settings. Once the EA is set up, you can start automated trading immediately.
If you do not yet have an Exness account, please first open a live account, then install the desktop versions of MT4 (MetaTrader 4) or MT5 (MetaTrader 5) and set up the EA. The steps for setting up an Expert Advisor (EA) are as follows:
Launch Exness's MT4 (MetaTrader 4) or MT5 (MetaTrader 5).
Click "Open Data Folder" in the File menu.
Open "MQL4 or MQL5" and double-click the "Experts" folder.
Drag and drop the EA (Expert Advisor) you downloaded into the "Experts" folder.
Right-click "Expert Advisors" in the Navigator window, then click "Refresh."
Click "Options" under "Tools."
On the "Expert Advisors" tab, check the boxes next to "Allow automated trading" and "Allow use of DLLs (only for trusted applications)," then click "OK."
Click "Expert Advisors" in the "Navigator" window, then drag and drop the downloaded EA (Expert Advisor) onto the chart.
When the EA window appears, click "OK."
You can modify the parameters of an Expert Advisor (EA) installed on Exness’s MT4/MT5 via the “Input Parameters” tab. To change a value, double-click the “Value” field, enter the new value, and then click “Save” and “OK.” Please note that if you wish to start automated trading using the default settings, you do not need to change any parameters.
An "Automated Trading" icon will appear below the MT4/MT5 menu bar. Click the icon; if it turns green, automated trading has begun.
That completes the installation of the EA (Expert Advisor) on Exness's MT4/MT5.
To successfully trade with automated trading systems (EAs) on Exness, choosing the right EA is crucial. While there are both free and paid EAs available, there are several key factors to consider when selecting one, such as whether it aligns with your trading style and strategy. Please use these guidelines as a reference when choosing an EA, and enjoy automated trading with the best option for you. Here are the key points to consider when selecting an EA on Exness:
When using automated trading (EA) on Exness, we recommend that you verify the eligible trading instruments. Depending on the EA (Expert Advisor) you use, it may only trade specific currency pairs. If you attempt to execute automated trades on instruments other than those specified by the EA, the price movements may not align with the trading program. To ensure the EA performs at its best and generates profits, please be sure to verify the eligible trading instruments.
In addition, Exness offers trading in a wide range of CFD products, including FX currency pairs, precious metals, energy, stocks, stock indices, and cryptocurrencies. While some EAs may target relatively obscure instruments, Exness offers trading in over 200 different instruments, providing a broader selection of EAs to choose from.
When trading with automated trading systems (EAs) on Exness, we recommend reviewing the trading strategies employed by the EA (Expert Advisor). Trading strategies vary depending on the EA; some use "scalping" techniques, while others employ "hedging" strategies, for example.For example, if a scalping strategy is used, it is important to select the optimal account type based on the "spread"; if a hedging strategy is used, it is important to select the optimal account type based on both the "spread" and "transaction fees." In particular, since transaction costs double with hedging, selecting the optimal account type allows you to efficiently aim for profits through automated trading.
Furthermore, since Exness has few restrictions and supports a wide range of trading strategies, you can enjoy automated trading without any limitations. While many brokers prohibit scalping using EAs or impose strict rules, Exness allows you to use EAs without any restrictions on trading methods. As a result, the risk of incurring penalties due to automated trading on Exness is low, allowing you to take full advantage of trading opportunities and aim for profits using a wide variety of EAs.
When trading with automated trading systems (EAs) on Exness, we recommend reviewing the EA’s trading performance. Many EAs available for download online provide backtest data published by their developers, allowing you to review their trading performance. By reviewing at least the following metrics—“Total P&L,” “Profit Factor,” “Maximum Drawdown,” and “Number of Trades”—you can determine whether an EA is effective.
| Project | Features |
| Total profit and loss |
|
| Profit Factor |
|
| Maximum drawdown |
|
| Number of transactions |
|
| Total profit and loss |

Please note that even if an EA’s trading results are publicly available, we recommend that you conduct your own backtesting to verify the EA’s performance. By performing backtesting, you can use historical market data to verify the effectiveness of the logic programmed into the EA.
There are a few important points to keep in mind when trading with Exness’s automated trading (EA) system. Please review these guidelines in advance to ensure you can trade efficiently and enjoy automated trading. The following are the key points to consider when using automated trading on Exness.
At Exness, you are free to choose from a wide variety of free and paid EAs (Expert Advisors), but some may only be usable with specific FX brokers. In particular, EAs distributed for free may require trading with a designated FX broker. If an EA specifies a particular FX broker, it may not function properly on Exness; therefore, when selecting an EA, please be sure to check whether it is compatible with Exness.If no specific broker is specified, you can enjoy automated trading (EA) on Exness’s MT4 (MetaTrader 4) or MT5 (MetaTrader 5).
Exness offers a variety of trading platforms in addition to MT4 (MetaTrader 4) and MT5 (MetaTrader 5), but only the desktop versions of MT4 and MT5 support automated trading (EAs).The "Mobile versions of MT4/MT5," "WebTerminal," and "Exness Trading App" do not support automated trading. Therefore, if you wish to engage in automated trading with Exness, please use the desktop versions of MT4/MT5.
Please note that MT4 and MT5 EAs (Expert Advisors) are not compatible with each other on Exness, so you cannot use a single EA for automated trading on both MT4 and MT5. When purchasing a paid EA, please verify that it is compatible with your preferred trading platform before proceeding.
Before engaging in automated trading with Exness, we recommend conducting a backtest to ensure it operates properly. A backtest is a process of verifying how well an Expert Advisor (EA) performs based on historical market data. An EA that has performed well in the past is more likely to continue delivering strong results in the future.
While some EAs publish backtest results, there is a possibility that significant discrepancies may arise between backtest results and actual trading results, depending on the verification period. We recommend that you conduct your own backtests before trading and verify the performance of the EA you plan to use before starting automated trading.
When using a VPS for automated trading (EA) with Exness, we recommend restarting the VPS periodically. If the VPS runs continuously, memory constraints may cause the EA (Expert Advisor) to slow down. If the EA’s processing speed decreases, it can affect order execution speed, potentially causing you to miss out on profit opportunities. To prevent losses, please restart your VPS regularly if you are conducting automated trading 24 hours a day.Furthermore, restarting the VPS on weekends, when most markets are closed, will minimize any impact on order execution and settlement processing for your automated trading.
