Managing trades on local computers/laptops can be risky at times. There are several reasons for this, including greater control over their personal computers, and avoiding computer glitches such as technical difficulties, unexpected shutdowns, and Internet disconnects. Using a VPS (Virtual Private Server) which is basically a remote computer with blazing fast and nearly always connected to the internet is the best way. We at Vikinsa Capital Management use several VPS providers including Amazon Web Services and a few local hosting providers. Here are a few of our recommendations:
- Very reputable worldwide
- Especially for trading
- Great cost-effective dedicated servers available
- Multiple locations worldwide. So choose the nearest possible location to your broker for fast execution.
- Great connectivity and up time
- Windows options are also cheap so that MT4 can be installed.
- Remote desktop is available
- We use them for our VATA AiFxHarvester auto trader testing and a few manual trade management operations.
Cloudzy (Formerly RouterHosting):
