I would like to set up my MT4 EA on a VPS so that I don't have to have the home computer running all the time. As a complete computer mug I have no idea of what all the jargon means on some of these websites. So if anyone has the time to spare could you please walk me through the process of getting started. Many thanks, Bob

bobha asked me in a PM:

What is an instance on Amazon AWS?

Amazon AWS is a "cloud" with a lot of "computers" in it. So you can rent these computers (running windows or linux). Every computer is called an instance.

Hope that answers your question!

Hi guys I'm having trouble with Amazon VPS (free). It was great at first but after couple of days i cant log into the remote computer. The problem is my EA on MT4 is still running in the remote computer which i can't access. After numerous tweaking and trying, i just want to delete everything on the remote computer. So my main point here is to stop the running EA.

The question is:

1. How do i delete everything on the remote computer - MT4 precisely

2. I i delete/terminate my instance will the MT4 in the remote computer be deleted as well?

I have created a free instance there and I am using it as a forward test for several EAs. The performance is not really the best as regards to I/O. This shows especially if you backtest a lot. Normal trading without much disk activity is fine though. Ping times to various brokers is dependent on the VPS location. You can try different ones within the free plan as long as you don't exceed the monthly hours limit.
