VPS Forex Solution

A lot of brokers these days offer VPS or Virtual Private Server solutions for their account holders. The idea is pretty simple. If your Metatrader 4 platform is on a stable internet connection and computer, your automated trade strategies will not suffer disconnects or fail to execute in market conditions which are faster than a mere human can execute in.

I think it's important to compare apple to apples in this case. Most brokers who offer VPS service offer you the smallest possible package. Your server space will be crowded to the gills and it is possible, although unlikely, that your signals will still reach their trade server slowly. Workstations can get overloaded just the same as your own pc. So it is prudent to take all risk factors into consideration. After all, what is the sense of simply transferring risk from your PC to a VPS? Your aim should be to reduce it as much as possible.

I prefer to use VPS providers completely off the map. Small and responsive to each and every customer.

Even if you are not trading an automated EA strategy, a VPS can provide you with an added backbone of security and execution efficiency. Reduce your risk.

I have set up my current Forex accounts with Hostwinds VPS. Downtime is non-existent and the customer service is extremely responsive. Mainly because the company is so tiny. I wonder if recommending a VPS provider for Forex accounts is really such a wise idea in this day and age of hyper-competition to stay ahead of the pack in execution and risk management. Nonetheless, I think there is quite a bit of healthy room for this boutique VPS  provider to grow into a formidable service provider. It is safe to say this recommendation won't affect my bottom line anytime soon.
