Hey there!

On this page you will find all of the necessary tools as seen in the Bulletproof VPS Set Up Course. Feel free to copy the code or download the attachments – whatever works for you.

Disclaimer

I am making you aware that this setup is not a guarantee of 100% uptime of your VPS, it is also not a guarantee that your VPS will work correctly. This is just a procedure I have devised for setting up MY Virtual Private servers. This procedure as well as the tools and scripts involved may contain errors. Any information is provided ‘as is’ solely for informational purposes and is not intended for trading purposes or advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you choose to proceed with these tools and VPS setup procedures, you are doing so at your own risk.

Windows Autlogin Tool

This tool automatically logs into Windows if the system is rebooted.

You need to create a text document on your VPS desktop named “Regsetup.reg.txt”, then copy the following code into the file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="Administrator"
"DefaultPassword"="AABBCC"
"AltDefaultUserName"="Administrator"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
Once done, save the file and rename it to “Regsetup.reg“. This will turn it into a registry file.

Rebootlog Tool

This tool automatically documents any reboots of your VPS, so you can investigate these if logs if there is ever an issue.

You need to create a text document on your VPS desktop named “Rebootlog.cmd.txt”, then copy the following code into the file:
echo --------------->> C:\rebootlog.txt
echo last reboot at:>> C:\rebootlog.txt
date /T >> C:\rebootlog.txt
time /T >> C:\rebootlog.txt
Once done, save the file and rename it to “Rebootlog.cmd”. This will turn it into an executable command file.

MetaTrader 4 AutoLaunch Tool

This tool automatically launches all of your MT4 terminals if the server was restarted for whatever reason.

You need to create a text document on your VPS desktop named “MetaTrader4AutoLaunch.cmd.txt”, then copy the following code into the file:
rem *************************************************
rem *** This starts the terminals after waiting 30 seconds ***
rem *************************************************

ping localhost -n 30
start "1" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4\terminal.exe"
start "2" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4 - Demo2\terminal.exe"
exit
Add as many lines as required. Each line should represent a separate MT4 folder installed on your VPS.

Once done, save the file and rename it to “MetaTrader4AutoLaunch.cmd”. This will turn it into an executable command file.

Watchdog Tool

This tool will automatically monitor the status of your MetaTrader’s connection to the trade server. If a disconnection occurs, the tool will attempt re-login to the account set up in you favourites.

You need to create an expert advisor in your MetaTrader 4 named “Watchdog” and copy the following code into it:

// AccountRow - Your favourites account number
// DelayMinutes - Delay in minutes, has to be greater than the chart timeframe

bool is_reconect = true;

void OnInit()
{
Old_Time=iTime(NULL,0,0);
OnTick();
}

void OnTick()
{
if (!IsDllsAllowed())
{
Alert("Watchdog: DLLs not alllowed!");
return;
}

while (!IsStopped())
{
RefreshRates();
if (Old_Time == iTime(NULL,0,0)) is_reconect=true;
else is_reconect=false;
Old_Time=iTime(NULL,0,0);
if (is_reconect)
{
Print("Watchdog: The chart has not been updated in " + string(DelayMinutes) + " minutes. Initating reconnection procedure...");
Login(AccountRow);
}
Sleep(DelayMinutes*60*1000);
}
return;
}

void Login(int Num)
{
int hwnd = WindowHandle(Symbol(), Period());
int hwnd_parent = 0;

while (!IsStopped())
{
hwnd = GetParent(hwnd);
if (hwnd == 0) break;
hwnd_parent = hwnd;
}

if (hwnd_parent != 0)
{
hwnd = GetDlgItem(hwnd_parent, 0xE81C);
hwnd = GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x52);
hwnd = GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x8A70);

PostMessageA(hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_HOME,0);

while (Num > 1)
{
PostMessageA(hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN,VK_DOWN, 0);
Num--;
}

PostMessageA(hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_ENTER, 0);
Sleep(PAUSE);

hwnd = GetLastActivePopup(hwnd_parent);
PostMessageA(hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_ENTER, 0);
}

return;
}
Once done, save and compile the file. Alternatively, you can copy the prepared file (after unzipping) into your terminal’s data folder \MQL4\Experts.
