- Problem with VPS in Metatrader 5
The reason may not be because it's cheap. I use a quality VPS provider and my configurations are usually between $5-$8/month, and it works just fine for me.
I see two main possible reasons but there are certainly more:
- Your EA and/or Indicators may be badly coded and using to many resources such as CPU and RAM and may be using more than what that VPS configuration can handle. How much RAM and CPU resources does your VPS configuration specify?
- Your internet connection to the VPS maybe quite slow or have large latency making it difficult to work with. However, if the the other applications on the VPS are fast and only MetaTrader is slow, then point 1 above is most likely the cause.
If you don't know what are the RAM and CPU specifications for your 3rd party VPS, then it is best that you first educate yourself about how to setup a VPS properly for use with MetaTrader, as well as how to calculate what resources your MetaTrader setup and EAs/Indicators will need.
You will also need to search for various VPS providers and see which ones are best for your requirements, as well as how good the connection between you and the VPS is, and between the VPS and your broker (very important).
Alternatively, if you are just starting out and don't understand much about VPS, then try the MQL5 VPS services first as it simpler to use and setup.
