An EA only trades while MetaTrader is open and online. A VPS (virtual private server) is a computer in the cloud that runs your platform 24 hours a day, so your robot never misses a trade even when your PC is off.

Why a VPS matters

• Uptime: your EA runs 24/5 without interruptions.
• Low latency: a server near your broker means faster execution, which is critical for M1 scalpers.
• Stability: no power cuts, no internet drops, no accidental shutdowns.

What to look for

Choose a Forex VPS located close to your broker’s servers (often London or New York), with at least 2 GB of RAM, an SSD disk and a reputable provider. For one or two EAs a small plan is plenty.

Fast scalpers benefit the most. See our best M1 scalping EAs and best Gold EAs for MT5.
