I recently purchased a VPS for my EA to test if it performs better from ping point of view. In addition I also wanted to stress test my EA in all market conditions regardless of my presence.
I did following steps :-
1.   Compiled by EA on XAUUSD chart
2.  Migrated it to VPS (successful message shown)
3.  I read somewhere to pause live Algo trading on meta terminal on my desktop to avoid redundancy.
4. I paused live Algo trading.
5. I was glad, few trades from VPS panel started coming in (stats visible on VPS journal)
6. I turned off my PC and went outside. But to my dismay, immediatly after 5 10 minutes, no trade entries were being made (I am using micro second scalper 1-2 ticks which gives rapid trades for very small gains)
7. I had to come back home, turn on PC and when I turned on Meta trader and viewed my VPS journal, then it was giving me signals again (live trading on terminal had been paused earlier).
8. Now I confused that what is wrong
Isn't VPS supposed to give me trades like normal terminal even when my PC is off or when I am asleep at night

From what you are describing your EA migration to your MQL5 VPS was not successful or your EA requires DLL calls, that are not allowed in MQL5 VPS.

It stopped again at midnight. Kept trading fine till midnight (For good about 6 hours). Is it because of timezone difference. My location is Pakistan and VPS is in Jakarta Indonesia. I just woke up at 0430 to check and it had stopped at midnight. So when i remigrated it is now trading fine. The journal shows no such errors that stopped the trades.
and my EA does not trade in time (no such restrictions) plus dll file imports

without seeing your code we can only make guesses.

If you make HFT trades, then, have you considered that your broker may be intervening? Most brokers do not allow HFT trading on MT4/5.

You could move your vps to a new location in your vps/profile page. However i think that it is more likely reason of broker and HFT restriction, OR as Alain said, your ea requires DLL. But we can not confirm anything without seeing your code.

And if you are correct regarding timezone, then, that is coding issue, not a vps issue.
