VPS (Virtual Private Server)

Automated Trading

A VPS is a remote server that runs your trading platform 24 hours a day without relying on your personal computer. Traders use a VPS to keep Expert Advisors running continuously, reduce execution latency by hosting the platform closer to the broker’s servers, and avoid interruptions from power outages or internet disconnections.

Example

You rent a VPS in a data centre close to your broker’s trading servers. You install MetaTrader 5, upload your EA, and let it trade 24/5. Even if your home internet goes down or your PC shuts off, the EA keeps running on the VPS.
