What Is a Trading VPS?
Keep your trading running 24/7 without interruption.
A VPS (virtual private server) gives you a dedicated trading environment that runs around the clock, so EAs, server-side pending orders and strategy monitoring keep working day and night.
Why do you need a VPS? Power outages, network issues and system updates on a home computer can interrupt your trading programs at any time. A VPS provides a stable 24/7 environment so your EAs and pending-order strategies never stop because of local failures.
Configuration advice: EA traders should choose a data centre in the same region as the trading server to reduce latency. Users running multiple accounts or strategies should choose a higher-spec plan.
