How to set up TradersProxy for Skilling
This page covers the Skilling-specific setup notes, the platform steps, and the server labels you are most likely to see. TradersProxy is broker-agnostic, so the connection logic is the same across brokers.
Use the broker portal for the exact server name. Use this page for the setup path and the routing notes.

Quick answer
Open your MT4, cTrader platform, find the proxy settings, and paste the host, port, username, and password from the portal. Select SOCKS5 where the platform offers it. Use HTTP only when SOCKS5 is not available.
If Skilling publishes server names, use the one from your account portal or welcome email. If the list below is empty, the broker has not made a public list easy to confirm.
Setup normally takes under five minutes. The exact menu path depends on the platform, not the broker.

What matters before you connect
Skilling is a broker note page, not a payment page. Use it as a routing reference. The platform steps are the same across brokers. The server labels and datacenter notes are what change.
Regulation, founding date, and platform lineup are listed above for context. They do not change proxy configuration.
A public datacenter has not been made easy to confirm here. Use the server name in the account portal and choose the nearest TradersProxy node you can reach consistently.
If you trade on more than one platform, configure each platform separately. The relay is the same. The menu path changes.
How to configure the platform
The goal is simple: copy the portal values into the platform's proxy settings, save, restart if needed, then confirm the connection.
- Sign in to the TradersProxy portal and copy the host, port, username, and password exactly as shown.
- Open the proxy or connection settings in your platform.
- Select the protocol the platform supports. Use SOCKS5 where possible. Use HTTP only where SOCKS5 is not available.
- Paste the portal values. Do not type them by hand.
- Save the settings, restart the platform if required, and test the connection.
Platform notes
MT4 and MT5 usually expose the proxy settings under Tools, then Options, then Server.
cTrader usually exposes it under Settings, then Advanced, then Connection.
If the broker uses a different front end, follow the same idea: find the connection settings, choose a proxy type, and paste the portal values.
Server names and routing notes for Skilling
A public server list is not available in the current data. Use the server name from your broker portal or welcome email.
Practical note
If the broker uses multiple live or demo endpoints, pick the server that matches your account type first. If you are unsure, start with the label shown in the portal and only change it if the broker tells you to.
What usually goes wrong
- Wrong protocol. Use SOCKS5 where available. Use HTTP only if the platform does not offer SOCKS5.
- Typed credentials. Paste the values from the portal so the host, port, and password stay exact.
- Wrong server label. Match the broker portal or welcome email, not an old screenshot.
- No restart. Some platforms do not apply proxy changes until you quit and reopen them.
FAQ for Skilling traders
TradersProxy is broker-agnostic. As long as your Skilling MT4 or cTrader connection uses a host and port, TradersProxy can relay to it. The setup steps in MT4 and cTrader are the same as with any other broker.
Skilling's proprietary web and mobile platform does not expose a standard SOCKS5 proxy settings. TradersProxy works with Skilling's MT4 and cTrader connections.
Skilling's trading datacenter has not been publicly confirmed. Contact Skilling support or use a traceroute tool to identify the geographic endpoint of your MT4 or cTrader connection.
