Latency/VPS guidance (when to use a VPS)

Quick answer

Use a VPS if you want better reliability and lower latency, especially for:

• fast markets (news/volatility)
• TradingView webhooks
• multiple connections/receivers

When you should use a VPS

• Your home internet is unstable
• You need the copier running 24/7
• Your broker is far from your location and execution is slow
• You trade time-sensitive strategies

VPS best practices

1. Choose a VPS region close to your broker’s trading servers (or your broker’s main region)
2. Ensure enough resources: - CPU/RAM headroom (avoid maxing out)
3. Keep the environment clean: - Fewer background apps
4. Keep MetaTrader running (if using MT4/MT5)

Verify improvement

1. Compare delay in Logs before vs after moving to VPS
2. Confirm fewer timeouts/requotes during normal conditions
