What is VPS for MT5?

Virtual Private Server (VPS) allows your MT5 terminal to run 24/7 on a remote server, ensuring:

  • 24/7 Trading: EA runs continuously even when your PC is off
  • Low Latency: Fast connection to Exness trading servers
  • Stability: Reliable internet connection without interruptions
  • Performance: Dedicated resources for optimal EA execution

VPS Benefits for Live Trading

    • EA never stops trading (unless you disable it)
    • No need to keep your computer running 24/7
    • Trades execute even when you're asleep or away

  2. Reduced Latency

    • VPS is typically closer to broker servers
    • Faster trade execution
    • Lower slippage

  3. Reliability

    • Stable internet connection
    • No computer crashes interrupting trading

  4. Convenience

    • Regular check-ins to verify EA is running
    • Monitor account balance and performance
