Quick decision tree:

- You want Copygram to host the terminal for you 24/7 → MT4 Hosted. No VPS needed, only works with the broker servers in our dropdown. - You already run your own VPS / want any broker → MT4 Standard. You install our EA file on your terminal, drag it onto a chart, allow DLL imports.

For most prop firms (FTMO, MFF, The5ers) → Standard, because their servers aren't in the Hosted dropdown by default.

Great write-up. One thing — the EA file needs algo trading enabled globally too, not just on the chart.

Saved. The server-name distinction trips up almost everyone.

Worth adding: if you're on a 2-step challenge make sure you're on the Demo2 server during phase 1.
