MT4 vs MT5 — which should you run?

Trading
Installing an Expert Advisor (EA) on MT4/MT5
Copy your EA to the right folder, enable AutoTrading, and attach it to a chart so it runs on your VPS around the clock.

The single most important habit: disconnect from RDP instead of signing out, so your terminals and EAs keep running.
