VPS is the copy of your Metatrader in the cloud.
To make this copy of your Metatrader in cloud so you need to open chart (or charts) and attach your EA to the chart (or to the charts) to ready to trade.
After that - you make the migration: you are synchronizing your Metatrader with open charts with EA attached to the charts - with the copy of your Metatrader in the cloud.

Once you synchronized (once you sent everything to VPS) so you can close your pc (in you want): your EA will work on VPS (means: your EA will work on the copy of your Metatrader in cloud).

And all those actions (with possibe errors) are written in your VPS log files (you can check it inside your home Metatrader).

---------------

To make it shorter:

  • Your MQL5 VPS = your "2nd Metatrader in cloud". I mean: there is the cloud (somewhere). And there is "your second Metatrader" there ... this "second Metatrader in cloud" is empty ... you will need to provide migration/synchronize.
  • Migration = sending your EAs/indicators/open charts from your home Metatrader to MQL5 VPS (to "your Metatrader in cloud").
  • You can synchronize the settings/open charts/EAs/settings of your EAs/changing the settings of your EA/opened charts - from your home Metatrader with MQL5 VPS (with "your Metatrader in cloud"). You can synchronize many time (as many as you want).
  • Only open chart(s) with attached EA(s) can be migrated (can be synchronized) from your home Metatrader to MQL5 VPS (to "your Metatrader in cloud").
  • Your EA(s) will work on MQL5 VPS (on "your 2nd Metatrader in cloud"), and you can close your home Metatrader, or use your home Metatrader with the other trading account, or any.
  • Autotrading is always On in MQL5 VPS ("your second Metatrader in cloud" is having autotrading to be always ON irrespective of the settings of your home Metatrader).
  • (limitation) Your EA will not work on MQL5 VPS (on "your 2nd Metatrader in cloud") if EA is using dll irrespective off -  you allowed dll or not in your home Metatrader (irrespective of the settings of your home Metatrader). It is necessary to see the code or to be a coder to know: your EA is using/calling dll or not).
  • (limitation) It must be 64-bit client terminal (MT5) to use virtual hosting - means: your home Metatrader 5 should be 64-bit.
    MT4 does not have this limitation (because MT4 is always on 32-bit).

 You need to rent 2 mql5 vps's.

 

the mql5 vps can only have 1 platform, and has restrictions, of 0 external dlls, and a conservative number of charts allowed, i think is 33? maybe.
the dll restriction rules out most eas that you buy, however, i hightly recommend it if you dont need dlls and keep the number of charts low. All instances of the vps i have used are fastest vps's i have used.

But next time, search mql5 site for answers to questions, before you go asking the same question that has already been asked and answered many times on the site.

But to answer your question more, most trade copiers require an external dll, so that will exclude your trade copier, most likely.
But if your trade copier does not require a dll, then you will still require 2 vpss' eg 2X $10 a month. And then put 1 platform on each vps. saving each platform on your local system as a profile and upload your platform charts and settings to each vps.

I recommend that you save each platform as a profile, so that you can shut down your local computer, as you said. And you can still load up each platform and profile the next time you need to update any settings on the vps's. This is how i use the vps's myself.

It may be possible for you to use the signal service on mql5 site to copy your trades between each vps. I do not know, as i have not tried this.

You should look further than that.
