  3. Download the FBS set up file again. (while on the VPS, visit in chrome browser https://trader47.com/setup-guide/#install-mt4 to get the latest download link).
  4. Run the setup file. It will re-install latest MT4 while keeping all settings (so no need to re-configure BladeMiner or anything).
  5. Restart MT4 (FBS trader) and check that the bot is running (ie smiley faces in the top RHS on the currency charts).

That's it! The "old version" connection error should now be fixed. Remember to check your bot is running at least once a week (and update your lot sizes to grow with your account).
