How to setup Grid Copier with Google Apps Script (step-by-step) &#8211; Other &#8211; 18 February 2026

Why do we want Google Apps Script?

To alternate commerce information between separate MetaTrader terminals, a easy relay server is required. Google Apps Script acts as a free middleman that transfers commerce occasions from the Grasp account to the Slave account. It ensures dependable supply of occasions even after web interruptions or terminal restarts and doesn’t require a VPS or devoted server.

Tips on how to create and deploy Google Apps Script

Go to https://script.google.com and Click on Begin scripting
Click on New challenge
Delete the default code and paste the script supplied under the instruction steps
Press Ctrl + S to save lots of the challenge (the highest menu will change into lively)
Click on Deploy within the top-right nook and choose New deployment
Within the opened window, click on Choose kind (⚙️) and select Internet app
In the Description subject, enter Model 1 (any textual content is ok). Set Who has entry to Anybody and go away Execute as unchanged
Click on Deploy – your Apps Script URL will probably be generated. Copy and paste this URL into the EA enter settings
