Thanks for the feedback.
1. I was concerned that running multiple MT4s on one PC might lead to them interfering with each other somehow. Been testing multiple instances now for a few hours and I don't see any issues so far.
2. Thanks. That is helpful. I will download MT4 from each broker
3. Obviously. But the question was about *recommended specs*, given my intended trading frequency. Question still stands for any experienced traders who are willing to chime in.
4. Yes, I am already doing my own research to search for VPS services. But it certainly doesn't hurt to ask experienced traders for their best recommendations, so I don't waste time and money with sub par services. So the question still stands, should anyone wish to suggest the best VPS services
Those questions are self explanatory.
As many XEON chips as you can get.
As many RAM as you can get.
As large a SSD storage raid as you can get.
1gbs or more optic fiber link.
And of course non hardware related things like location, type etc... for example LD4, DMA etc.
Best provider would be the one with the least downtime and the fastest connection to your broker, but i would personally never use any of those you mention.
Notice that a VPS does not necessarily have to be related to trading, others can amaze you, they amazed me.
There are so many elements, and if you miss out on even one tiny element, it can turn onto disaster.
