Prerequisites

Why Cent Accounts are Strictly Enforced
By converting standard capital to cents (e.g. $2,000 deposit shows as 200,000 cents/USC inside MT5), the Aegis Grid algorithm has an exceptionally robust margin cushion to handle gold volatility safely without placing your account at risk.

Phase 2: Installation in MetaTrader 5
Install MetaTrader 5 on a VPS
For best results, we strongly recommend running Aegis Grid on a VPS (Virtual Private Server). This ensures your algo remains online 24/5 even when your personal computer is turned off.
How to set it up
If you don't have MetaTrader 5 installed, you can download it from the official website:
Download MetaTrader 5After downloading the setup file, follow these steps:
- Copy the setup file to your VPS and install it there.
- Open MT5 and log in with the Account ID and Server you saved earlier.
Note about AWS EC2
A VPS is recommended for stable 24/7 operation. AWS EC2 is a popular choice, and new users may qualify for AWS Free Tier credits (approx. $200) to get started on your cloud setup.
