Trading VPS

Forex VPS analyzed

A VPS keeps your EA running 24/7 close to the broker's servers. We analyzed 32 providers with the same yardstick: proximity to broker datacenters (the #1 factor for an EA), uptime, specs/value, 1-click MT4/MT5, support and reputation.

ⓘ The score is attribute-based for now (location, specs, features, reputation). Measured latency to brokers is a separate benchmark we plan to run. Many brokers also offer a free VPS if you meet a deposit + monthly-volume condition — good latency to that broker only, but it locks you to them.
