How can I sell my cloud tester agents directly to users?

[dglslu]

Hi.

I have a farm of 20+ dedicated 24/7 strategy tester agents and I would like to sell this service to users for testing their strategies.

Is this possible ?

Regards

Yes, it's called the MQL5 Cloud — Distributed Computing in the MQL5 Cloud Network

Please search 🔍 before you post. Your question has already been discussed multiple times on the forum.

NB! Why did you post this question when you are clearly already participating with the distribution of your tester agents on the MQL5 Cloud?

Get more use out of my agents?

I guess I am not the only one with this issue.

PR - 155, 184, 204, 208 - Running for 3 days (24/7) and at a whopping $0.19.

At this rate I might be at a monthly total of $1.80, I was not hoping to get rich from this but I was hoping to be able to buy bread at least.

IMHO, he want to share the agents directly, not via the cloud.

If, in accordance with the prior observation, you are trying to sell you resources directly, then that is beyond the main scope of this forum.

You will probably, need to employ a NAT on your Internet router, a Dynamic DNS to associate your IP address, and use unique passwords on the Tester agents and carefully control who gets access to that information.

The problem is, how will you calculate how to measure the usage and charge a fee accordingly?

You will also need to charge less than the MQL5 cloud in order to justify someone using your services instead of the MQL5 Cloud directly (which will be much easier to use, than your farm).

In other words, it will not be worth the effort for either party, you or your potencial "customers".

EDIT: Sharing your "farm" directly, only really makes sense if you are doing it for free with a group of friends or collaborators.

Given all the available figures involved, people using the MQL Cloud Network are going to get substantially better performance than if he somehow worked out the shared use of his local farm.

Thank you very much for your feedback, I guess my idea would not work the way I thought about it.

Better question then, is there a way to get better value from this service?

My PR's range from 125 to 253, where can I get more information on PRs?
