Hi folks, I’m just moving into forex after dabbling in crypto for a while. I just had a quick question about how you folks use Metatrader and VPS.

I am trying out a few of the trade-manager or trade-assistant type of EAs, which let you drag price levels around to set TP/SL and so on. Some of these EAs also have a trailing SL feature, which seems to require that the EA is left running all the time, which got me thinking about a VPS.

My question is, obviously a VPS is preferred if you are running a trading bot that needs to be running all the time, but do any of you use a VPS simply to login and perform your manual executions in Metatrader? Maybe because a VPS might be more stable than a desktop Windows machine?

Just curious, if I should go down that route, or just build a dedicated Windows box at home.

Also, if anyone can recommend any good trade-manager type of EA I will give them a try.

So far I have been playing around with Magic Keys (on-screen version) which is OK, but won’t work out if I should ever get to be trading multiple accounts, with several instances of Metatrader running because apparently MagicKeys sends its commands to all running Metatrader instances at the same time, so they recommend shutting down all other instances!

Thanks in advance.
