MT4 VPS question

 

I rent VPS by MT4, and I know it is usually used for EA trading.

My problem is when I apply trade by MT4 in my PC, sometimes it has delay to open or close one trade.

Does VPS can reduce the ping between my local PC to my Forex broker's server? So that I can trade without delay.

I wish someone could give me a clue.

Thanks

happy trading.


Ron.

 
If you have MQL5 VPS for MT4/MT5 so your local PC is not involved in the process: everything is going on between the broker (broker's server) and MQL5 VPS (copy of your Metatrader in cloud). And MQL5 VPS is located to be near the broker's server.

Program to check latency between VPS and broker's server

Just left-click on the Connection Status icon in the bottom right of MetaTrader and you will see a pop-up context menu showing you the latency values of various Servers available for your Broker. Then you can select the fastest one to your liking. You can also re-scan as values may fluctuate.

MetaTrader 4


MetaTrader 5
