Hello Experts,

If you are not using VPS to trade. What is your PC configuration?

Is it enough if PC is still running Windows 7 (64 bit), internet speed is acceptable.

Thanks

Generally peaking the reason for a VPS is not the better performance of the 'remote' server but the lower latency to the broker server and the lower risk that the system fails e.g. due to a power outage at home.
