Before you start
- A Raff Keep MetaTrader server that is Installed, with Raff Guardian on. On an Install only server the card says “Raff Guardian adds terminals, and this server runs without it. Install Raff Guardian from the server’s Guardian tab first.”
- Permission to manage the server (
vm.manage). - Room on the server’s size. The Your terminals card says how many it runs, for example “2 of 4 this server’s size runs”.
Steps
1
Open Your terminals
Open the server’s page under Keep. The Overview tab shows Your terminals: each terminal, whether it runs, its broker connection, algo trading and what it uses. Click Check now for a fresh reading.
2
Add a terminal
Click Add terminal. The dialog Add a MetaTrader terminal? names the terminal it adds, such as “MetaTrader 5 terminal 3”, and the most this server runs. On a server with both platforms, choose MetaTrader 5 or MetaTrader 4.Click Add terminal.
3
Sign in to your broker in the new terminal
When the card lists the new terminal as running, sign in over Remote Desktop as the trader login, open the terminal and sign in to your trading account.
Verify
The new terminal shows in Your terminals with its folder, such asC:\MT5\3, and Running. The line under the card gives Raff Guardian’s result, or why it could not add the terminal.
When the size is full
The Add terminal button is off and the card says, for example, “This server’s size runs at most 4 MetaTrader terminals. Resize it to 4 vCPU and 8 GB to run up to 8.” Click Resize the server, pick the bigger size, then add the terminal. A server runs at most 16 terminals.Look after a terminal you installed yourself
When Raff Guardian finds a MetaTrader terminal installed by hand outside Raff Keep, the card lists it under Found on the server. Raff Guardian does not start or watch it until you choose:- Look after it: the terminal becomes one of your Raff Keep terminals. It starts whenever the trader login signs in, and Raff Guardian tells you when it stops. Its charts, profiles and experts are copied into its folder from the login that used it. Nothing is reinstalled, and nothing is charged. If it asks for your broker password, sign in to your broker once in it as the trader login.
- Not this one: the card stops offering it. The Apps tab still lists it.
