Thread: Trading Platform and VPS

I'm sure it would be easier to transfer my entire platform with all my programs and charts together intact. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks in advance

Yes its easy possible if you have a windows vps with windows remote desktop connection and/or vnc client/server or similar program

TeamViewer - Free Remote Access and Remote Desktop Sharing over the Internet ) to copy your EA's Scripts etc from your computer to the VPS... Hope that helps... If you're in EU check out IXBONE VPS...(Hi IX)...Good Luck Bill

• RAM: 512 MB
• Storage: 10 GB
How many EA's are recommended to run concurrently?
Also I see we cannot run mutiple accounts / instance with one MT4 platform - broker. Do you use mutiple EA's in single account with different magic number is it??

hi tradespin,

this depends on your used timeframes, indis, currencies and some global settings
-M1 charts needs more ram then D1 charts
-3 indis per chart needs more ram then no indis per chart
-volatile currencies needs more ram then low volatile currencies
-high settings bars in chart needs more ram
-high settings bars in history needs more ram

with the optimum lowest settings i suggest to use stable 7-10 mt4 apps
with the maximum highest settings i suggest max. 1-3 mt4 apps

Sometimes, if a mt4 apps can't catch additional ram, it tends to crash
Using of stategy tester is not recommened, because it uses always all available ram (for writing the tester log files)
