VPS

 

I am getting serious lag time during times of volatility in the markets.  I show 125 ms on my MT5 screen.  However, my broker does not support a VPS for futures.  My broker says I can get a VPS from a number of places.  How will the MT5 platform recognize a third party VPS?  And will it work for futures, or do you have a suggestion.

Hello everyone, I registered a VPS for a month...
 
125ms is a good ping. if your ping is this good, but you still think that you have lag, then, maybe the lag is not mt5, but rather your internet access.
