What is VPS?
VPS(Virtual Private Server) technology, which divides a server into multiple virtual exclusive servers. Each VPS can be allocated with independent public IP address, independent operating system, independent large space, independent memory, independent CPU resources, independent executive program and independent system configuration. Users can not only assign multiple virtual hosts and unlimited enterprise mailboxes, but also have independent server function, which can install programs by themselves and restart the server separately.
Popular explanation: to put it simply, VPS is also equivalent to a computer, is a computer provided to you by the service provider, but we only have the right to operate it, and there is no physical object to you, the operation on the VPS is the same as the operation of our home computer.
In a word, you can use it as a virtual computer, but it’s not just a virtual computer.
Advantages of VPS
What are the advantages of using VPS? In my opinion, there are two main points, one is that it can run 24 hours a day, the other is that it can reduce the delay, the other advantages are that the mobile phone can be remotely controlled, and finally it saves power.
1. low latency
Latency is a calculation of the time it takes to send a message to the broker/liquidity provider server, usually measured in milliseconds.
If you are using one of the most popular expert advisors in the industry, you may be placing an order while thousands of users are automating the same strategy.
Even if you are not an MT4 EA user, there may be many users doing the same thing when there is a significant market in the underlying market. For the Forex or CFD markets, there is usually only a relatively limited amount of liquidity for retail clients to grab before the underlying market widens its spread due to volatility. At this point, the lower your latency, the greater the likelihood that your order will be filled at the relatively best price, making it easier to achieve profitable trading.
2. VPS runs 24/7
Get used to trading forex with EA (Intelligent trading) friends know, EA is the need to run 24 hours a day, and for most of us at home, the computer, this is a big burden, because of the configuration of performance reasons, and if you have only one computer at home, we may also be used to watch the news, watch movies, chat QQ, and so on, which will reduce the computer’s running action and speed, and this is our MT4 and EA The normal operation is a great impact, Our home computer in the operation of a period of time after the card machine will appear, or even off the network, so we must restart the computer, restart MT4, and even our EA. If you use the VPS, then all this need not worry, VPS in performance and configuration, especially the speed of the network is much higher than the home PC, so 24 hours can run your EA program, because you only run on the VPS MT4, expert signal system, self-service documentary system, so the burden is very light, and there will be no card machine, broken network phenomenon. This is the reason why we choose VPS when using EA.
