good question and yes is my answer. been trading using EA with my vps and havent got any issues so far but I am considering to use my home pc for trading to get a good refund from tax hehe (run it for 24 hrs and claim 30 cents per hour)

how about you david? are you?

btw, are we allowed to post links here?

Hi RichDadFx.. I am using a service from ForexVPS and these guys looks like they know what they do. I am paying something like 35$ per month.

Quick question: how can you get 30 cents per hour? Cheers!

david

hi david, quick answer, that's what my accountant says, for the last financial year, i only claimed 2 hours a day since am paying for the VPS and only checked my VPS and trades during the night. why don't you consider swvps? their plan starts from $18/m

RichDadFx... SWVPS.. I will give them a try, thanks for the reply!

I have heard that fxcm offers free vps service to its client. Is it true?

Yea. But u have to maintain a minimum balance of $5000. So if u r going to invest that much, you will get a vps service sponsored by fxcm.

You can now get vps services at very low cost. Just search google and u will find many.

hmmm.... $5000 is a big capital for traders like me.

Yes there are many cheap vps services available. I was actually thinking if fxcm really offers it with low capital requirement then why not go with them.

Sure I do trade manually as well. But I need the VPS to access the Metatrader platform from my mobile. Also, if you wante to be a signal provider, trade leader or what so ever, this is also required.

Hi David, check my signature (2nd line), they also offer free vps as long as you have at lease $500 in your account.

$500 is really fair. But dont know much about roboforex, their customer support and other things.
