i use one

i’m not convinced i really “need” it at all, to be honest, but i travel about quite a lot - sometimes with less than ideal internet access - and it’s very cheap and i’m used to it, now

i suspect quite a lot of people use them who don’t really need them (and i might be one of them!)

I use VPS on live accounts, reason? Stable internet connection and electricity.

Hello Amy!
I use a VPS. Honestly, they offered me a free one, and well, why shouldn’t I accept it?
I think it is useful when you want to access the market a lot and you travel or even go to places where you can’t access a stable connection. Try it.
Best Luck/

A couple of people have mentioned travel and stable Internet connections as a plus point. Can you enlighten me as to how a stable connection helps if you can’t connect to the VPS from your unstable one?

Unless you’re using an EA or trailing stops, I can’t see a real benefit.

You are right. Having a stable setup is totally key for successful trading.

Sorry, may I ask who offers free VPS? You mean your broker or someone else?

12

Right. How? :thinking:

14

Lowest latency to your broker’s server, no downtime.

Ask your broker which VPS they recommend… or if they have their own. My broker Coinexx is free for accounts over $5k.

15

I use VPS for uninterrupted trading, reducing downtime and ensuring automated strategies run smoothly with minimal latency.

16

Yes, because I run EAs. VPS ensures that I get the best connection and if I have power outage which is regular my EA wont stop working.

Hello.

I use forexvps.net . But contabo is cheaper. Do you advise me to switch to Contabo for forex trading after leaving forexvps?

Do you believe it is a good idea?

I don’t think it’s a good idea to use a commercial hyperscaler, with zero support, or knowledge of trading platforms… I currently use QuantVPS

Hi @deroty , it’s a very old question. :smiley:

I’m using contabo, ovhcloud and some other company. I ever used some trading vps as well.

Using specialized VPS is easier. The problem is cost and resource is not good.
Using a general purpose VPS, you need to have hardware maintenance skill. When there is problem, you are alone. You need to know how to secure a machine from unwanted intruder.

Since I’m linux/unix user, I can use contabo, ovh and others VPS with very economic price and powerful machine. I don’t need to pay window’s license. The VPS cost me in between 5 - 25 USD / month. The same specs need budget at least 20-32 USD / month. :slight_smile:

Yes, I use a VPS for forex trading, and I’ve named it “ForexPulse.” It provides a stable, fast connection to my trading platform, ensuring my strategies run smoothly 24/7 without interruptions. This helps me execute trades instantly, even when I’m not online, for a more reliable trading experience.
