Gold trading robot in Kenya

Gold session hours in Kenya

London opens at 11:00 EAT and the New York overlap runs 16:00-20:00 EAT.

The robot has a trading-hours filter, so you can restrict it to the London and New York overlap instead of letting it trade thin Asian-session ranges. Set the hours in your broker's server time, not your own local time, because MetaTrader charts follow the server clock.

Choosing a broker

Traders in Kenya generally work with CMA Kenya licensed brokers. Whichever you pick, check three things before you attach the robot to a live chart: that expert advisors are allowed, the typical XAUUSD spread during the New York session, and the exact gold contract size, which differs between platforms and changes what one lot is worth.

Kenya is one of the few African markets with locally licensed MetaTrader brokers; a licensed local firm plus a London VPS is a practical combination.

Hosting and latency

A London or Johannesburg VPS is the usual choice from Kenya, but latency is measured to your broker's trade server, not to you. Ping the server from a candidate VPS before you commit to it. Running the platform on a VPS also means the robot keeps managing open positions when your own machine is off.

Getting started

1. Open a MetaTrader 4 or 5 account with a broker available in Kenya.
2. Set up a London or Johannesburg VPS and install MetaTrader on it.
3. Install MetHaND, then run it on a demo account first to confirm spreads and fills.
4. Set the risk, lot and trading-hours parameters to match your account size.
5. Move to live trading with the smallest lot size you are comfortable with.

FAQ

Pricing and delivery in Kenya

Licences are priced in US dollars and paid in USDT on the TRON (TRC-20) network, so you do not need a local card or bank transfer. Once the transaction is confirmed on-chain, your licence key and the MT4/MT5 files are delivered by email.
