VPS for prop firm robots

[Andil Saleem]

Hi,

I bought the prop firm EA robot and I will use it for FTMO. Is a VPS necessary for ftmo or would I still be able to use the EA prop firm robot without VPS on FTMO?

I would say a VPS is critical for EA-based trading.

Otherwise you have to ensure that your PC’s internet connection is really fast, with low latency to the broker’s server, that your PC is always running 24/7, and that the internet connection is very stable and never goes down. If your internet connection goes down your EA may not manage the trades properly and you may lose trades because of that.

You can find cheap VPS, like:

– Contabo

– Hetzner

– Hyonix

Make sure to select Windows OS.

MT5 can run on Linux using certain tools, but setting that up is not for beginners.

Thanks Juan, much appreciated. I’ll set the VPS in that case.

I’ve been using fxvps.pro for a few months – no issues and well priced.

I am currently running 6 mt5 terminals and 4 mt4 terminals on a VPS with 12 CORES, 12GB RAM and 30GB space for $46 per month.
