Managing broker accounts & updating the EA

How to add and remove broker accounts, the difference between EA and cloud accounts when you delete one, your plan's account limits, and when (and when not) the EA needs re-installing.

› EA vs cloud accounts

	EA account	Cloud account
Runs on	Your own MT4/MT5 terminal	Our cloud (MetaApi), 24/7
Add by	Creating an account & pasting the token into the EA	Entering broker login/password/server
Needs PC/VPS	Yes	No

› Account limits per plan

Limits count EA and cloud accounts combined and are enforced automatically.

Plan	Max broker accounts
Free / expired trial	0 (copier locked)
Starter	1
Pro	3
Lifetime (EA)	10

› Deleting an account

Open the account in the Signal Copier and use the remove option.

EA account → "Delete account". Removes it from your dashboard. The EA on your terminal simply stops receiving that account's config — you can also just remove the EA from the chart.
Cloud account → "Disconnect". Removes it and deprovisions the cloud (MetaApi) account, so it stops running and stops incurring any cost — nothing is left orphaned.

Deleting an account frees a slot toward your plan's limit immediately, so you can connect a different broker. It does not close any open trades on the broker — close those in your terminal/broker first if you want them flat.

› When does the EA need re-installing or recompiling?

The EA talks to us over a secure API, so most updates happen server-side and need nothing from you.

Change	Action needed
New website features, pricing, parsing, symbol mapping	None — server-side
Account settings, risk rules, channel config	None — applied live
A new version of the EA file (new inputs/logic)	Download the new `.ex4/.ex5` and re-attach it

You only re-install the EA when we publish a new EA build (announced on the changelog). To update: remove the old EA from the chart, copy the new file into MetaTrader's Experts folder (or use the install guide), refresh the Navigator, and re-attach. Your token and settings stay the same.
