Does running my broker's Empty4 server connection from a VPS prevent me connecting to the server from another computer ?

Do I have to connect and disconnect the VPS instance when I am using my other connection ?

Will a VPS with minimal RAM (1GB) suffice - I will be running HGI on the machine

Thanks for any help

No.

No.

It should, though I would recommend 2 GB RAM.

Thank you. Appreciated !

You can connect several Empty4 instance with same account on different devises in same time. For example you can configure Empty4 on your mobile so once EA on VPS triggers orders it notify on your phone. But be careful if you use trade manager and EA which can enter into conflict with TP/SL rules.

A VPS with 1GB is suffisant if you don't use several Empty4 instances with all 24 pairs opened. To be confortable better take with 2 GB and 2 core as processor.

Hai

Thanks - much obliged.

There's a course on Udemy by Kirill Eremenko, called VPS for Forex Trading - Protect Your Forex Robots.

There's some info in the course about how to set up a Windows Server running Empty4 4 so that the trading platform starts up and logs in to your trading account automatically after a crash/reboot.

I'm not affiliated with either Kirill Eremenko or Udemy, I simply found this course useful and well worth the price (I think I paid $19 on offer from Udemy).

If you have to manually start up your Empty4 on your VPS every time you reboot (or after a crash/scheduled downtime), it'll be well worth your time checking this course out.

Cheers and happy pipping!

I have been with Cheap VPS Pte in Netherlands for over 3 months and I have their most basic package at 5.15 GBP/month. I have been running 2 MT4s with 3 EAs which are not speed sensitive. During this time their server has never gone down or restarted. However, the speed is low but it can be much improved by using Windows 2008 instead of Windows 2012. Their response is very fast and my tickets always get replied to within an hour.

I think I am getting a good deal for such small monthly fee.

Hi, Are you still with the Cheap VPS Pte and fully satisfied?

Is the speed difference between Windows 2008 and 2012 too much?

Asking out of curiosity, how safe is the data/tools we put on VPS?
Can the provider of the VPS access my indicators and anything else put on the VPS?

I'd trust most VPS providers more than I'd trust most brokers.

At least you can pay with a credit card for most VPS, instead of having to go round the houses through a third party payment system
