What is VPS
A VPS is a trading environment deployed on a remote server. It can be used to continuously run MT5, EAs and related trading tools, reducing the impact of local devices and network conditions on trading continuity.
Supports automated strategies
Suitable for EAs, automated strategies, copy trading tools and other trading scenarios that require long-running stability.
Reduces local environment impact
When local networks fluctuate, devices restart or power is interrupted, VPS helps reduce the risk of platform interruption.
