What Is VPS Server and Who Needs It
VPS is a remote virtual server equipped with uninterruptible power supplies and round-the-clock access to a stable Internet.
Everyone can find their own advantages in this service. However, a VPS server is most beneficial for the following traders:
- Active users of trading robots. If you want to get the most out of your Expert Advisors, the program should run continuously 24/5.
- Remote traders. I’m talking about those who use indicators and robots in trading that are not included in the basic package of the mobile terminal. In this case, you need to keep the charts active on any computer and have constant access to them through your phone.
What’s Wrong with PC
I have nothing against personal computers. However, at home you cannot guarantee that unforeseen circumstances will not interfere with your trading:
- Power outage
- Interruptions in the work of the Internet provider
- Breakdowns in home devices - computer, router, etc.
- Human factor - the computer was turned off by accident or intentionally by another family member or by you, etc.
VPS server is a paid service. However, it is worth it. Remote servers have multiple power supplies. In the event of a blackout, they will work for several more hours until the problem is resolved. The same can be said for the internet connection. If problems arise with one of the providers, the servers switch to an alternative source.
Choosing VPS Server
This service is in high demand among Forex traders. That is why some VPS servers are specially designed to work optimally with the foreign exchange markets. It is worth choosing one of such servers. If your broker doesn’t offer its own personal server, then the best option is to look in the Forex communities - ask experienced traders on special forums.
If you have opted for a little-known company, then it makes sense to ask for a free trial of the server for some time. Many providers offer this service. It is worth choosing from those to be sure you don’t pay for a server with constant interruptions in work.
How to Start Trading
After choosing a server and connecting to it, you can use it like a personal computer. Install a trading terminal, Expert Advisors and indicators on it, if any. Then you can install a special program on your mobile phone that will give you access to your account. Combined with a reliable mobile Internet, a VPS server will provide you with a round-the-clock stable connection with the trading terminal, which can significantly increase your profit. Give it a try!
