How to set up a proxy server in Metatrader4

Despite the rise of modern web platforms and mobile applications, MetaTrader 4 remains the most favored Forex trading terminal. This application is renowned for its straightforward, user-friendly interface, coupled with a comprehensive array of features for both analysis and trading automation.

One notable functionality of MetaTrader 4 is the option to integrate a proxy. Using a proxy server for connection can circumvent firewalls or provider restrictions associated with trading with certain brokers. It also helps bypass various traffic filters that can increase latency, a critical factor during active trading sessions.

Setting up a proxy server in MetaTrader 4 is a swift process, taking no more than two minutes, and it does not necessitate the installation of any third-party plugins, regardless of the broker used.
