What matters before you connect
Windsor Brokers is a CySEC-regulated broker with origins dating to 1988, offering MT4 and MT5. Their server infrastructure runs at Equinix LD4 in London. For traders in Europe, latency to LD4 is naturally low. Traders in Asia, Africa, and the Americas should select a TradersProxy node near LD4 for optimal routing.
The platform steps are the same across brokers. The server labels and datacenter location are what change. When the account portal and any public note disagree, trust the portal.
How to configure the platform
Copy the portal values into the platform proxy settings, save, restart if needed, then confirm the connection.

- Select SOCKS5 as the protocol. Use HTTP only if the platform does not offer SOCKS5.

- 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 Windsor Brokers traders
Windsor Brokers' MT4 and MT5 infrastructure is hosted at Equinix LD4 in London. European traders have naturally low latency to LD4. Traders in Asia, Africa, and the Americas benefit from a TradersProxy node near LD4 to reduce round-trip time.
Yes. Windsor Brokers offers both platforms. Configure each separately — proxy settings are not shared between MT4 and MT5. Both use the same path: Tools, then Options, then Server.
No. The MT4 and MT5 proxy configuration is the same regardless of how long the broker has operated. The proxy setting is a platform-level feature, not a broker-specific one.
