I used to connect the tablet with Remote Desktop, but as Jacpin says, you can monitor the account from Fx Blue. Much easier.

I follow with FX BLue as well. Of course if you want to change any EA you will need access to the platform.

Right, the FX blue is just to monitor.

 

Any ideas about a Forex VPS which has best parameters for Meta Trader platform?

Hello Ian,

MT does not require special parameters. It uses RAM as far as I know. So anything with more RAM will be fine.

Regards,

Anyway, all the VPS services could be upgraded. So if you take a small plan, and you start placing MT platforms, and one moment you see you need more, just upgrade.

I always suggest the traders start simple with their computers or laptops at home. No need really to spend money on VPS especially if you are not yet profiting from the trading.

A regular computer nowadays will handle 2-3 MT platforms, EA Studio on a few browsers, and probably FSB Pro.

Cheers,

I have 4 MetaTraders on my desktop and they work fine. I do not see the need for having VPS and spending extra cash on that.

Hey Travis,

I think the same. The thing is when people travel, it is good to have access to the EAs, not just to monitor them. I have many MetaTraders installed as well but recently I keep the 2 live accounts on a VPS so when I travel I have access to Experts.

 

But you can actually leave your computer running at home with the MetaTrader and connect it from your laptop as you travel.

You can use TeamViewer or programs like AnyDesk.

Actually recently I use more AnyDesk to monitor the Forex platforms and change anything if needed with the Experts.

Hey Petko,

I started using as well as AnyDesk. It is an interesting program and it is very useful for me. Thanks for sharing it in the Forum

Hi Petko. I also tried AnyDesk and it works beautifully! But I’m starting to feel like I should explore other tools just in case the need to use them arises. I know you don’t make recommendations but what VPS do you personally use? At least I’d trust the one that you’ve practically used and approved.

Hello Forexmania,

Before I was using Contabo. I do not use it any more since we moved all the trading to our local computers.

The good thing with Contabo VPS is that it is not from a broker. I mean, I would not trust a broker for a VPS for sure.

 

Running everything on computers at home, would power-cuts be something to think about, potentially disconnecting trades for hours? Or fire risk, leaving the machine on all the time?

Would you use the same machine for generating strategies as you would for running demo and live MetaTraders?

Hello Simon,

well, personally I do not have such issues except my baby boy walking around and pulling out some cables 🙂

But you are right, if there are power-cuts all the time, this might affect the trading.

Yes, most of the machines where I do trading, I use them to generate new strategies. Actually I would be starting today with the updates of the courses.
