Hi
Just want to share this with everybody as its quite awesome. For those who do not know, a VPS (Virtual Private Server) is basically a virtual "somewhere in the sky" computer. In order for Expert Advisors to work in MT4, your MT4 program needs to be open, connected to the internet and running.
That's where a VPS comes in - the VPS runs 24 hours 7 days a week and you can simply install your MT4 on the VPS resulting in your trades being executed without your PC having to be on.
OK, enough with the background. For those who has researched VPS providers know that they come with a fee (normally USD30 minimum). I have however found a free VPS provider (free for 24 months). Here's a tutorial to access this
Here comes the really fun part - if you own a iphone or other smartphone, you can install an app ( I use RDP lite) to log onto your VPS and you will then see your MT4 program, exactly like you would see it on your PC. That makes trading on your phone much easier. Attached is a screenshot taken from my iphone 4.
