Virtual private server
A trading VPS is a virtual server hired to keep a trading platform running when the trader's own computer is off.
Explanation
MetaQuotes' MetaTrader VPS page describes a virtual server that runs the MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 terminal, including Expert Advisors and signal subscriptions, after the trader transfers that environment from the desktop platform. The same page is a product advertisement. Its latency, uptime and profit claims are the vendor's wording and are not figures checked here. The software catalogue also lists other firms' Windows servers sold for leaving a terminal running. Hosting does not change the market risk of the strategy.
This page explains published terms for education and reference. It is not financial, investment, tax, or trading advice, and it does not recommend a firm, product, or strategy.
