VPS for Trading
FXTM is an award-winning broker for a reason: we prioritise our clients’ needs above anything else.
Trading is risky
What is VPS Trading?
A Virtual Private Server, more commonly known as VPS, is a virtual computer that functions independently, just as a real computer does. A VPS is specifically designed according to your needs and is especially beneficial to forex traders due to the security and flexibility it provides.
It is permanently connected to the internet, which both facilitates the execution process and contributes to a safer and more stable trading environment.
Obstacles such as computer viruses, connection failures and power cuts can be absolutely detrimental to a trade, especially during periods of market volatility. Using a VPS can alleviate these issues, making it an ideal technical environment for automated trading.

How Do You Use a VPS for Forex Trading?
To use a forex VPS, you will first need to seek approval from a broker such as FXTM to join their network.
Once this has been confirmed, you’ll receive a user name and password to access its IP address and connect to the server using a remote desktop application.
Once the connection to the VPS is live, you are then directed to a desktop environment with the same functionality and privacy as a real laptop or PC.
You can then log in to your trading platform as usual and continue your regular trading activities.
