Hello I am based in Australia and  just wondering if when copying signals from the mql5 site to my broker (Pepperstone), does a VPS or Dedicated serva help this to execute quicker or is this only relevant if I am to use a EA. Cheers

Yes it is faster to use a VPS, in all cases, to copy signals or to use an EA.

Thanks for your reply and time Alain, after reading the link I still don't seem to understand. When copying signals from MQL is it faster to execute the trades due to latency from a dedicated serva, or is it just the fact that this remains connected to the Internet 24/7. As all brokers are web based and there for the signal is not travelling to me once executed from the author/MQL and more so just to my brokers base in NY4..??. Sorry for my miss understanding and thanks for your time. Regards
