Try Amazon, they offer free VPS. With a low latency VPS and good broker you can survive red news, but avoid the extreme ones like NFP... Slippage on those events are crazy, can be as much as 50 pips (500points), Grid will be very messy. My plan for NFP is hit stop next on thursday afternoon and wait for EA closes in profit before big news. If it doesn't i will check where price is in the grid... if price is the middle of grid with many orders fired i will let it run, the firsts spikes are the worse and as the orders close to price are already fired...
Hi,
I got the Amazon one but it looks so slow, I'm new to this things and I don't know if could be a problem of the server or my pc. When I click somewhere it respond so slow and I don't know if could be a problem between my pc and the vps, I run mt4 on it but goes slowly it respond with huge delay to my clicks...
Any help?

Thanks

Sharing some information. All my 8 Limit Order demo accounts updated to the grid 150 points. This number seems good for LO. Running period 24 hours/day, testing the limits. Ranging pairs: GBPUSD, NZDUSD USDCAD and perhaps some times I may add USDCHF,skipped AUDNZD and NZDUSD. I am using lots 0.05, TP fixed 2,5. Played 0.1 and TP 3.5 well worked well, all deppents on your money management and greed. Wide grid helps a lot not get stucked and does not reduce your profit figure.
Picture on account I started yesteday and just showing perfect GBPUSD order inside 150 pints grid:

yep the response is kinda slow. i can't even use other browser like firefox, opera on it.

things will be more slow after few days of running, when u look at the data transfer rate of your mt4 at bottom right when it hits few hundred thousand/1kb

normally i would close mt4 and restart

Hi Radityo Ardi What is recommended VPS if i use Tickmill ECN Live trading from indonesia? As i try to check their IP yesterday use iplocation.net, it shows their live server is at hongkong (?) I wonder if tickmill has many server around the world to make closer connection to their customers. Is it where the VPS located matters? Sorry for my newbie questions. I never use VPS before Thanx
You won't feel it.
But it does affect. Just imagine, you have 50 orders. Server A when closing 1 order, is about 0.3 seconds. While if you put in server B, it is about 0.5 seconds. Now you calculate 0.3 x 50 = 15 seconds. And 0.5 x 50 = 25 seconds. 10 seconds faster...
It does matter.
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...

Some brokers usually offer free VPS to their clients that holds some level of balance in the account. The VPS they offer tend to have very low latency. ~1ms.

On Amazon you can choose where you want your server, that way you can find latency as low as 20ms in Europe servers, that's not bad and i don't think you will find so much lower response on a cheep VPS. To get lower than that you must look for a u$ 40 ~50 monthly VPS service.

These VPS should have low cpu and memory power, that's why i use only one MT4 open per VPS. Processing data is slow but i only care about order execution speed. I don't feel much diference between Amazon and others VPS i tried (payed and sponsored by forex broker)

The fact is that initially the one on Amazon worked well, looked like my pc, it worked fluently but suddenly it went slower and slower, the execution of the order is slow, and open the mt4 take time, and every click take time...i don't know...Sorry for the stupid question, how can I check the latency between the server and the broker? I choosed it by its geograhic position, the nearest one...

Thanks

If you click on the numbers on the right bottom of the MT4 you will see a list of servers and ping time.

I use Broker sponsored VPS for my live account and Amazon vps for the demos. Personally i don't install nothing on the VPS, only one MT4. And i reboot every weekend (don't worry, the EA will resume) and do all the updates. That way my VPS run smooth both on Amazon and brokers sponsored.

{quote} Seems that GTLIMIT can't be ran fully on 01am to 3pm. You should stop it somewhere at 9am or 10am. I heard someone uses GTLIMIT changing only the lot size bigger, ran it on live for a week, and got 100% profit.... Will consider to add that feature.
thanks bro.
seems gonna be a nice feature if added.
who knows... maybe some other day we have no time or no connection at all to set or stop our EA,
and we don't want it to be stopped out at 0 balance right

this feature (stop at certain % of balance/equity, maybe could calculated the % from initial balance?) seems worth to consider in near future.

well....after all this is why we all need to use the EA, because we have limited time to watch the chart all day..

thanks man,
I will suggest my friend to try GTLIVE with smallest lots first then will going up from there

Thanks for the tips, I will look at it!
This is my basic low risk set file.
Fixed Lots is 0.01 (for every 300 in your balance) and Fixed TP is calculated to be 3.5 PIPS on the account currency. Calculate your pip value and set it.

I have just set a trade explorer with a new idea I would like to share and test. The first days i was adapting the EA but its running free for 1 day now. (including NFP event)

It's a based on Radityo's EA, limit orders with a basket of currencies.
It's using 150 points grid and 0.01 per $500 with a $1.75 TP per 0.01lot with a max of 12orders each side.

I have tried to choose ranging pairs, create a basket of 10+ pairs.
My idea is to monitor pairs on daily bases, remove or add pairs according to their behaves and expectations.

My Goal is to find a good setup with ROI 10% to 20% / month with comfortable down draw risks.

If it runs good over this month i think i will start on Live.
I'm confortable with the setup because slippage is not a great matter, and running losses can be manageable since the risks are spread in many pairs. Just need to check if returns are greater than possible losses and maybe adjust grid setups.

Feel free to share your ideas over EA setups and Pairs to choose.

Cheers,
