FXVM Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Traders are often unsure whether use of a forex VPS is necessary for their trading strategy, or even if a forex VPS can benefit trading at all. Certainly, not every trading strategy can benefit from hosting on a remote server, but these are a few of the most common requirements of traders using forex VPS's: You would like to move MT4 to a remote desktop that will be online 24/7, for the sake of convenience and security.Computer crashes and slowdowns, internet disconnections, and other distractions are the last things you need when trading. Using a remote forex VPS helps eliminate any inconsistency in your trading system. In a worse-case scenario, you can live chat or email us to get immediate help with your VPS and software running there. You have a forex expert advisor, or many EAs, that you need to test in a stable environment for weeks or months.Forex VPS systems do not shutdown or reboot, and are designed to have the best possible quality of connection to brokers and financial institutions. For these reasons, a forex VPS is ideal forward-testing MT4 EAs and other automated trading software. You already have a profitable EA or automated trading portfolio, and require a stable remote environment to optimize returns from your system.For all of the same reasons mentioned above, forex hosting is ideal for deploying established, profiting strategies, in order to give them an additional edge in fastest possible exeuction speed. Your system or software requires ultra-low latency connection to the broker.Since our systems are hosted directly adjacent to major financial data networks in New York and London, they can achieve latency as low as <0.10ms to a large number of brokers and trading services. You are frequently away from your computer or trading station.A trading VPS runs on a remote server located in a data center, and can be accessed from any PC or mobile device via RDP. This means that you can "screen in" to your remote desktop from any location, while leaving the applications on the remote desktop to run uninterrupted. Your orders are executed poorly due to long distance between your broker(s) and your location.Hosting your MetaTrader 4 platforms on a remote VPS will improve the speed of order executions, since the trading machine will be closer to the destination networks, even while you access the VPS from your location. If you have questions about how a VPS can be used, whether hosting is right for your application, or another aspect of our service, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us! We promise not to keep you waiting. Who should use a Forex VPS? via FXVM Knowledgebase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stekin Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 It is the trader who has experience and knows how to use robots very well that can be able to use a vps. It will help the trader to be able to trade offline but this thing will be very difficult to handle. It is better if the trader will try and be able to learn how to trade manually.

myregister Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 If you just see what TS said, it is us who need it but with different parameter, mostly traders who put their robot in VPS usually put a high performance robot that can work well under pressure and fluctuative market around 24/5 without stop.

rizwanramzan Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 According to my opinion only an experienced trader must use forex vps. Because it is difficult to operate a robot in vps server. Only an experienced trader can work with it. A newbie cannot work on it and lose his/her money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The one who should use a forex VPS is anybody who need their expert advisor to work at 24 hours without stop, so it means they need a high performance expert advisor with them, so far i think that the one who need this is a big trading company who prefer high frequency trading.

VPS is very important when you using ea in your trading, because usually ea need to running 24 hours to make a good result. with vps we can make better trading with our robot and as you said 24 hours means that there are a lot of time for our robot to work which means also more profit for us.

anosocialnet Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 everyone or every trader needs it since it helps faster execution of orders, so notwithstanding, every serious trader needs it for best trading experience in the Market, as every thing will be running faster, and not only meant for robot.

pepy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 If they don't know how to trade or if they have other things to do like manage the other account directly they can do that but if they don't have it then i think they shouldn't hire or use forex robot especially when put it in VPS which is cost more than shared hosting. FX robot is meant for VPS since VPS act like virtual computer for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 But manual trading is good for VPS too at least you can reduce slippage, also since VPS execute the position faster then you don't have much worry, and totally different from your computer Some VPS even located close to London or New York, where it can processed your order in relatively faster way and help you to trade. But stll If you want 24/5 trading then VPS is the most suitable place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepy Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It is still better than manual trading with robot trading you can use VPS power fully especially if you designed your robot to work for 24 doing some analysis and then will execute a position in the right time. I think a trader who need VPS aside from having a robot should have quite big amount of money to rent VPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Institution also need VPS because they use robot to work not all but there are some robots work for them. Also a trading company who have a lot of money from people who invest and want big profit in relatively shorter time. VPS is a nice place but not all people can use it or should use it.

pepy Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 First of all what coming into my mind about this thread is actually someone who love EA and want it to work for 24 X 5. Hobbyist maybe want to do that, or big corporation who involved in the high kind of foreign exchange trading. Usually i find few banks who still trade and use EA with put it on VPS.

myregister Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The one who should use VPS is clear isn't it? Those are for people who want to trade with expert advisor for 24 hours. I also think it is a good place for testing your robot to works non-stop but not for the sake of earning, not to mention VPS is quite cheap so it is like an affordable 24 hours computer that works for someone who prefer that way.

adamsmiths Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 This is a good post. I'd been looking for something like this for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thanks but i want to add that using VPS means that you must spend your money for it also if you decide to built your own VPS then it takes lots of setting and i think that it would ruin much of your experience to trade. Make sure you have good robot before try VPS because it is just like 24 hours computer for you where you have remote access for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigxy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I haven't used forex VPS but I think that it is used to host your EA and I did noticed that hotforex do offers free VPS to their clients though I am not an EA fan and haven't used EA either.

jamante Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 my understanding of VPS is this, its a virtual platform that lets you run certain programs with close to 0 lag or hang time, this are good for bots or EAs and it stays connected 24/5 all through out the week, now, some people would actually benefit from this through their EAs and by having a VPS it kills the lag time and avoids pip loss or slippage, especially these fast executing scalping bots, im not bot traders anyway, and though hotforex offers the VPS service and if im not mistaken its free for VIP users still i have not had a reason to actually use one.

Sininfinity Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I am not a robot user and have never used a VPS for my trading. But I now it is beneficial for those who use robots. Read it also reduces lagging time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepy Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 If you are a big traders who have big amount of capital and can divide your capital into different segments and have power to buy some serious expert advisor i suggest you to open a VPS account with that robot. I think VPS is good for a good robot because since we can activate it for 24 hours without stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 As long as you have that. Even you are not a big trader but somehow have good expert advisor that can work for you then you can start to use VPS. VPS for me is a place where i can turn my app for 24 hours, imagine it like a computer than turn for 24 hours. Imagine your EA works for 24 hours during business days.

pepy Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 And the place to turn your expert advisor for 24 hours, if you are using your own laptop or PC you must paid the bill so much for the sake of turning it for 24 hours. All people from what kind of background can use VPS even newbie in forex, as long as they able to operate VPS and able to install the Expert advisor inside.

Ben Thompson Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 This is because of lots of reasons our computers may interrupt and then trading system may be fluctuated and newcomers may suffer and impacts on trading. A virtual privet service is a machines which work like a computer it Provides 24/7 continue and reduce laming time. Generally who use professional trader always use VPS and get continues work.
