How to connect MetaTrader 4 (automatic sync)

Same flow as MT5 with the MT4 version of the NovaTradeSync Expert Advisor. Trades, deposits and withdrawals sync on their own, read-only.

Steps

  1. Open Accounts, fill in the account details and click Add account.

  2. Copy the API key shown on the account card.

  3. Click Download the Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 4 (.mq4).

  4. In MT4 go to File → Open Data Folder → MQL4 → Experts and copy the file there.

  5. Open the file in MetaEditor and press Compile.

  6. In MT4 go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors, tick “Allow WebRequest for listed URL” and add the ServerUrl address shown at the bottom of Accounts.

  7. Drag NovaTradeSync4 onto any chart and paste the API key in the ApiKey input.

  8. Turn on Algo Trading and check the Experts tab for “NovaTradeSync: synced … positions”.

Tips

  • The MT4 Expert Advisor is called NovaTradeSync4 and its file goes in MQL4 → Experts.
  • Raise HistoryDays in the inputs to bring older history. Sending again never duplicates trades.
