Step 1 of 3 — Required first
Open a Vantage Markets Account
VM
Vantage MarketsOur recommended broker partner

Vantage Markets is our recommended broker for GAT. They offer raw ECN spreads on XAUUSD, fast execution, and full MetaTrader 5 support — everything the EA needs to operate correctly.

Important: Use our partner link when signing up. This ensures your account is correctly tagged for EA licensing at no extra cost to you.

  • Raw ECN spreads on XAUUSD (Gold) — tight spreads, no requotes
  • Full MT5 support — desktop, mobile, and VPS compatible
  • Fast execution — critical for gold's fast-moving price action
  • Free to register — no deposit required to open an account
Heads up: Do not use a different broker. The EA is configured specifically for Vantage Markets' MT5 servers and may behave incorrectly elsewhere.

Step 2 of 3 — Recommended
Set Up a Windows VPS
IO
IONOS CloudReliable Windows VPS hosting

Run MT5 24/7 on a Windows Virtual Private Server. The EA cannot trade if your computer is off — a VPS solves this completely. We recommend the IONOS Windows S+ plan.

Step 3 of 3 — Final step
Contact Us to Activate Your EA

Once your Vantage account is open and your VPS is running, get in touch. We'll verify your setup, generate a personal license key, and send the Expert Advisor file with full installation instructions.

Account setup is fully admin-managed — there is no self-service portal. This ensures every EA is correctly configured for your specific account number.

📋 What to include: Your Vantage MT5 account number, confirmation you used our partner link, and that MT5 is installed on your VPS.
