ACC_01, ACC_02, ACC_03) and launch each terminal64.exe with the /portable command-line flag.
When you launch `terminal64.exe /portable`, MetaTrader stores all account credentials, charts, and configuration files inside that specific folder rather than mixing them inside Windows `%APPDATA%`.

Prop Firm IP Address Rules: Commercial VPN vs. Dedicated European VPS
One of the most common non-trading reasons prop firms revoke funded accounts is IP Address Collision. Here is how prop firm network compliance works in 2026:
| Connection Setup | IP Type | US & Global MT5 Compliance | Prop Firm Audit Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial VPN (NordVPN, ExpressVPN) | Shared Public VPN Node | Rotates IPs shared with other traders | BANNED (Triggers Account Passing Flag) |
| Domestic US Home IP / US VPS | US Geolocation | Restricted by MetaQuotes / CFTC on MT5 | HIGH RISK (Broker Region Block) |
| Dedicated European VPS (UK / Germany) | Static Private Dedicated IP | 100% Non-US Compliant + <3ms to Broker | 100% COMPLIANT (Institutional Standard) |
Mandatory Setup Guide for US-Based & Traveling Prop Traders
When your MT5 terminals and the KlevAi Companion run 24/5 on a dedicated European Windows VPS (such as Contabo UK/Germany, Hetzner Cloud Germany, or ForexVPS London LD4):
- Your Broker Sees One Static European IP Forever: Whether you check your VPS via Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDP) from New York, Miami, Dubai, or London on your phone, your MT5 terminals never change their IP address.
- Ultra-Low Slippage (<3ms to European Liquidity): Major prop firm liquidity providers host their trade servers in London (LD4) and Frankfurt (FR2). Executing from the same datacenter city minimizes M5 Gold slippage.
- Easy Hardware Migration (`Reset HWID`): If you ever upgrade your VPS, simply log into https://www.klevai.co.uk/portal and click Reset HWID to move your KlevAi Companion license to your new server in one click.
