Understanding Trade Execution Delays

In the world of forex trading, split-second decisions can make the difference between profit and loss. Picture this: your platform sends a buy order for EURUSD at 1.11111, but due to technical reasons, it takes 300 milliseconds to reach the server. By then, the price has risen to 1.11114. That potential profit has been reduced by 3 points.

The main culprit? The distance and network infrastructure between your PC and your broker’s server. Fortunately, there’s a solution: using a Virtual Private Server (VPS) for forex trading.

The Power of VPS in Forex Trading

1. Lightning-Fast Execution

Using MetaTrader’s VPS service, trade orders are executed in just 1-2 milliseconds. This means no more losing out on potential profits because of slight delays. Even after 300 milliseconds, while the price has shifted, your profit remains unaffected, thanks to the instant execution facilitated by the VPS.

2. Consistent and Reliable Connection

VPS proves invaluable when copying trading signals. Even if your provider operates in a different time zone or trades at inconvenient hours, the VPS ensures you never miss out on profitable opportunities.

4. Avoid Home PC Limitations

Relying solely on a home PC may mean missing out on crucial trading opportunities due to unexpected power cuts or internet connectivity issues. MetaTrader’s VPS ensures that you’re in the market 99.99% of the time, safeguarding your potential profits from unforeseen interruptions.

Getting Started with MetaTrader VPS

Renting a VPS for forex trading is a breeze. Simply:

1. Launch the virtual hosting wizard from your platform.
2. Choose a service plan. MetaTrader VPS offers varied plans tailored to your needs, ensuring you pay for only what you use.
3. Set your data migration mode.
4. And voila! Your trading account is now on a virtual machine, complete with settings, charts, robots, and subscriptions.
5. Managing your MetaTrader VPS is equally simple, with options to monitor resources, launch or disable the remote machine, synchronize platforms, and even check network resources usage statistics.

Why MetaTrader VPS Stands Out

Traditional VPS solutions might promise swift execution but often fall short in delivering. This is due to their infrastructure, which divides resources amongst numerous virtual operating systems, leading to inefficiencies and delays.

In contrast, MetaTrader VPS is designed specifically for forex trading. It runs on a single OS, maximizing resource allocation to each trading platform. This ensures that trade execution is always lightning-fast, regardless of how many other traders are using the service.

Additionally, MetaTrader VPS offers:

• Less than 5 milliseconds network latency for 80% of brokerage servers.
• Special lightweight versions of trading platforms.
• A comparison chart that highlights the differences between conventional hosting and MetaTrader VPS, showcasing the latter’s superior benefits.

Affordable Service Plans

With MetaTrader VPS, you get top-tier service without breaking the bank. Plans start as low as 15 USD per month, and the longer you subscribe, the more you save. For instance, a 12-month subscription gives you a 15% discount, bringing the cost down to just $12.8 per month.

These minor costs are easily offset by the increased profits you stand to gain from swift trade executions and the elimination of delays.
