VPS (Virtual Private Server) Guide

    It is essential to use a VPS for two reasons. First is that you cannot trust your home PC to run 24 hours a day and have uninterrupted Internet connection. The second is the delay between your computer and the broker's server - which will be between 80ms and 250ms depending on your location and connection. This delay is doubled by the time the EA gets confirmation of anything it has done. Fortunately, the way we trade Gold using the Prop Trading EA does not require low latency so even though the broker is in Singapore you can use the default Amsterdam location rather than pay extra for Singapore.

    This improvement will more than pay for the cost plus you can relax and forget about whether everything is running properly, not to mention it completely frees up your computer.

   My personal favourite is at the top of the page, CheapVPS. You should probably choose a European location - I use Amsterdam. Download your broker's MT4 installation file and copy it across to the VPS desktop and double click to install in the usual way. Then you do everything on the VPS as if it was your own computer.

   The basic technique is to open up File Explorer from the taskbar of your VPS, which will show the drives on your home computer so you can copy and paste any files you need. For example, download the setup file for your MT4 and copy/past or drag it onto your VPS desktop, double click it and install MetaTrader on the VPS. Copy and paste any ex4 files from your home MT4 into the Data Folder of your VPS MT4 and you are ready to go.

    You will find having a VPS makes life much easier as you never have to worry about keeping MT4 running on your computer, power cuts, Internet connections or somebody else messing things up while you are out of the room! Not only that but the increased speed of connection will greatly improve the workings of the EA as it it will be able to open trades and set TPs at the right price.
