What is a VPS and why is it used for automated trading?

If you trade with trading bots in MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, you've probably heard about the need for a VPS . This tool is key to keeping your bot running smoothly and without relying on your personal computer.

In this article, we explain what a VPS is, why it's important for automated trading, and how to easily obtain one.

What is a VPS?

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual private server (or virtual PC) that runs in the cloud.

  • It's like having a computer on 24/7, but hosted in a data center.
  • You can connect to it from your PC, laptop, or cell phone and use it as if it were your own remote desktop.

In the trading world, a VPS is used to install MetaTrader 4 or 5 and keep trading bots (Expert Advisors) running continuously, even if your PC is turned off.

Why use a VPS for trading?

  1. 24/7 Operations: Your bots never stop, even if you turn off your computer.
  2. Stable and fast connection: Since they are located in data centers, they usually have low latency to brokers.
  3. Security: Many VPS providers include backup and protection systems.
  4. Flexibility: You can connect from any device and location.

For those who trade forex, cryptocurrencies or gold (XAU/USD) with bots, a VPS is almost mandatory if they want to keep trading active all the time.

Recommended features for a trading VPS

When choosing a VPS, look for these features:

  • Windows operating system (to easily install MetaTrader).
  • RAM: Minimum 2 GB, recommended 4 GB if you use multiple bots.
  • Processor: At least 1 dedicated CPU. 2 CPUs recommended.
  • SSD storage: faster and more reliable.
  • Stable connection: low ping to your broker's server.
