There are two aspects to decide what to do:
- VPS power regarding CPU and RAM.
- The closer you need your VPS from the broker.
There are two possible configurations:
- A VPS with at least 2 cores and 2-4 GB RAM to have 3 MT4 executing.
- Two or three VPS each one with 1 core and 2 GB RAM with one MT4.
What is the decision based on?
- The location of the brokers’ servers
- The type of operation you are going to perform with them
For example, we can have two brokers whose servers are one in NY and the other one in London. If we are going to do a scalping operation where orders are opened and closed rapidly, then the ideal thing would be having two VPS, one in NY and the other one in London, but if we want to do a swing trading operation, you can only have one VPS in London with the 2 MT4, because it will not affect too much that the order is opened one second later. But it can also happen that both brokers have the server in London, therefore is better to just have one VPS more powerful and have it all in the same place.
