Your advice on VPS of Metatrader 5

New comment
 
Hi,
what is your experience with the Metatrader 5 VPS?
I am currently using the VPS from fpMarkets but it is shameful. The bar update is sometimes 10 timeframes late.
The connection latency is 1.6ms but I think it is a CPU and RAM performance issue. 
I currently use 5 charts with indicators and/or EAs. 
I did not understand the technical characteristics (CPU core, RAM memory, ...) of the proposed options of the VPS of Metatrader 5 and what is the performance difference between Mini, Optimal, Long and Max. 
Is it just a price difference? 
Thank you

MQL5 VPS works fine on 1 trading account and MT4/5 terminal only, but it does not work like an ordinary VPS.

Go through the links below to see how MQL5 VPS works.

Well, on the VPS I would only have one account and only one MT5 terminal active, but I would have e.g. 5 EAs running in 5 different charts at the same time. You say it would not perform well with this configuration?

It will perform fine, you can use up to 32 EAs on 32 charts, I have myself traded such a setup without any problems.

Thanks a lot.

I'm waiting for a feedback from fpMarkets but I'm pretty sure that they will not give me a technical solution. Therefore I will switch to the MQL5 VPS.

Sorry for boring you again on this topic but what is the difference between the offered options like Mini, Optimal, Long and Max? Does it take on technical performances or just on price?

These are only different names for various MQL5 VPS subscription periods, the quality of the service is the same among them.

You should choose the option that suit you best.
