List of the technologies that help traders is constantly increasing. Every day there are more and more different solutions from other fields to be adapted to participants’ of the financial market needs. Range of the special tools of trade in the past was available only for experienced professionals. But nowadays everyone can get any possibilities if he wants. It’s sad, but true that not all traders are familiar with these possibilities, not to mention using it.

What does the trader need a VPS for? What opportunities can he get with it? All traders sooner or later face blackout, problems with connection, or a failure of device. Experience has shown it doesn’t matter where you trade from (your house, office or shared workspace) — power line and communication line are united. In case of blackout all the equipment in the building will be switched off. Even if you work from notebook or smartphone, the battery of your device won’t save you.

The damage that trader may suffer in such situations is enormous. Inability to close the deal in time especially if you know something that may have an influence on exchange rate may cause the loss of a great profit.

VPS server as a guarantee of successful trading

There is more contemporary, economical and, that’s more important — higher-quality, reliable, and mobile solution. It is a virtual private server (VPS) by WhiteWall project. People, who start to trade professionally, sooner or later think how to make it more comfortable. That is what our trader VPS are made for.

If you rent a virtual server, it means that you rent part of resources of Windows based machine: hard drive capacity, CPU power, RAM etc. This machine is located in data-center and you’re connected to it via Internet.

Reserved Internet-channels, unlimited traffic and easy control over work via united control panel — all this allows you to focus on the key objectives.

VPS with “Trader” tariff is available 24 hours a day from any device with the Internet connection (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iOS, Android). It makes mobile trading possible without installing any of trading apps on your device.

Traders can use Virtual Private Server to place stock exchange instruments like trade terminals (QUIK, MetaTrader, Transaq etc.) You can also install a robot to trade, while you’re busy with other things. Speed of trade execution depends on broker, so reaction time to change of price really matters. Robot needs few nanoseconds to react on any situation.

You are going to need a few minutes to launch a prepared for work VPS server, and to adjust its configuration you’re going to need only a few clicks.

Core strengths of such server:

1. Multiple reserves of power supply and connection lines at the level of data-center.

2. Absolute mobility. You can get access to server from any PC, tablet or smartphone all around the world. And speed of interaction of server with core of stock-exchange system will be the same and it’s very important in trading.

As a platform for VPS we use the most modern and powerful hardware, that works under OS Windows Server control. Such approach guarantees high quality and reliability.

VPS — it’s simple

Renting a VPS, you get a remote virtual computer, which works 24 hours a day. Work VPS is as simple as work on usual home PC: in most cases you’ll face with regular Windows desktop. Essentially, it is the same Windows you have on regular PC. All actions like installing the programs or copying files are made in the same way.

Installation and setting of a trading terminal will take almost the same time as when you work with usual PC. It is equally essential, that work of terminal and trading robots isn’t different from “local” variant.

For example, it is necessary to go to your broker’s site (or to MetaQuotes belonging to trading platform developers), to download installation package and launch it passing common steps of the installation process to install MetaTrader4 Terminal. Launching the program after the installation is over, you can see the window of MetaTrader4 Terminal. Then it is possible to create a demonstration account and test how the terminal works.

It is possible to disconnect from VPS, in this the trading terminals you have launched will continue working.

Thus, you gain access to remote desktop by a number of simple steps. The only difference from PC is all your actions are being transmitted to WhiteWall VPS, this is why some delay in a response to your actions is possible. But this doesn’t mean that virtual server is slowed down.

A comparison of potential profit and the price of the server points to the feasibility of using VPS. VPS server may become a perfect tool for increasing the effectiveness of the trading.
