Connect to the Desktop
Wait a few minutes for the setup email, then connect via Remote Desktop (RDP). You’ll be greeted by a standard Windows desktop.
Download Your Broker's MT4/MT5
Open the web browser on the server, log into your Forex broker’s website (e.g., IC Markets, FTMO, Exness), and download their specific MT4 or MT5 installer.
Install and Log In
Run the installer just like you would on your home PC. Open MetaTrader, log into your trading account, and load up your charts and Expert Advisors.
