Cloud execution — setup & how it works
Cloud execution runs your trades on our infrastructure 24/7 — no PC, no VPS, no MetaTrader to keep open. You enter broker credentials once and we place every signal for you. This page covers setup, security, and how it differs from running our EA.
› How it works
- You connect a broker account (login, password, server) for MT4, MT5, or cTrader.
- We provision a secure cloud terminal for that account.
- When a channel you follow posts a signal, we parse it and place the order in the cloud — typically in under 50ms.
- You watch fills, open positions, and PnL from the web or mobile app in real time.
There is nothing to install. Your laptop can be off and your phone locked — trades still execute.
› Connecting an account
- Open the Signal Copier → Accounts → Add Cloud account.
- Enter your broker login, password (the trading password — see security below), and the exact server name your broker uses.
- Pick the platform: MT4, MT5, or cTrader.
- Save. Provisioning takes a moment; the account shows a live connection state when ready.
ICMarkets-Live12). You'll find it on your MetaTrader login screen.› Security
- Use your broker's trading password (not the investor or withdrawal credentials). A trading password can place trades but cannot withdraw funds.
- Credentials are encrypted at rest.
- Disconnecting an account tears down its cloud terminal immediately.
› Account limits
Cloud accounts count toward your plan's broker-account quota (Starter 1, Pro 3, Lifetime 10), combined with any EA accounts. Cloud execution requires a Cloud plan — the 5-day trial and EA-only plans can connect EA accounts but not cloud ones. See pricing.
› Idle-account suspension
To keep things efficient, a cloud account with no activity for an extended period may be automatically suspended and seamlessly resumed when needed. Active accounts are unaffected.

Both lines share the same AI parser, risk controls, and prop-firm safety. The only difference is where the order is placed.
