How To Enable MT4 MT5 Auto Startup On Forex VPS just in one click

FXS VPS Auto Startup Tools help you automatically start your MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 terminals after a VPS reboot. This is useful for Forex traders who want their MT4/MT5 platforms, Expert Advisors, and trading systems to come back online automatically without manual login or manual terminal startup.

Why Use MT4 / MT5 Auto Startup Tools?

Forex VPS users often run Expert Advisors, copy trading platforms, indicators, and trading robots. If the VPS restarts due to maintenance, Windows update, or manual reboot, MT4/MT5 terminals may not open automatically unless auto startup is configured correctly.

• Automatically start MT4/MT5 after VPS reboot
• Reduce manual login and manual startup work
• Keep Expert Advisors and trading platforms online
• Improve trading continuity
• Useful for traders running multiple terminals

Before You Start

Before using the FXS VPS Auto Startup Tool, make sure your VPS is ready.

• You have access to your Windows Forex VPS
• MT4 or MT5 is already installed
• Your MetaTrader terminal is working properly
• Your trading account is already logged in
• Your terminal folder is inside Program Files
• You have Administrator access on the VPS

Step 1 – Keep Your MT4 / MT5 Files Inside Program Files

First, make sure your MT4 or MT5 terminal folder is located inside the Program Files folder on your VPS. This helps the auto startup tool detect the terminal path correctly.

If your MT4/MT5 folder is on the Desktop or Downloads folder, move or reinstall it inside Program Files before continuing.

Step 1 – Keep your MT4/MT5 terminal folder inside Program Files for best auto startup compatibility.

Step 2 – Open The FXS VPS Auto Startup Folder

On your VPS desktop, open the FxSVPS-AutoStart folder. This folder contains the required files for enabling auto login and auto startup for MT4/MT5 terminals.

Inside this folder, you may see files such as:

• add_paths
• enable_autostart
• list_tasks
• README
• remove_autostart

Step 2 – Open the FXS VPS Auto Startup folder from your VPS desktop.

Step 3 – Run “Enable Auto Startup” As Administrator

Inside the Auto Startup folder, right-click on enable_autostart and select Run as administrator.

A command window will open and scan your VPS for installed MT4/MT5 terminals.

Step 3 – Run the enable_autostart file as Administrator.

Step 4 – Select The MT4 / MT5 Terminals You Want To Auto Start

After the tool opens, it will list detected MetaTrader terminals. You need to enter the terminal numbers that you want to enable for auto startup.

The tool will create auto startup tasks for the selected terminals. After this, your selected MT4/MT5 terminals should start automatically after every VPS reboot.

Step 4 – Select terminal numbers to enable MT4/MT5 auto startup.

Step 5 – Confirm Auto Login & Auto Startup

After enabling the tool, restart your VPS during a safe non-trading time and confirm that your selected MT4/MT5 terminals open automatically.

If your MetaTrader account was previously logged in and saved correctly, your trading platform should return online without requiring manual setup.

Step 5 – Confirm MT4/MT5 auto login and auto startup after VPS reboot.

How To Remove Auto Startup Later

If you no longer want a terminal to start automatically, open the same Auto Startup folder and run the remove option.

This will remove the auto startup task from your Windows VPS.

Best Practices For MT4 / MT5 Auto Startup

• Save your MT4/MT5 login session before enabling auto startup
• Do not move terminal folders after enabling auto startup
• Test after reboot during non-trading hours
• Keep your VPS password secure
• Use only trusted EAs and indicators
