Drop your VPS and experience the difference with cloud based algo trading

Hi Traders, 

In this episode, our trader Charles covers how to push models to X-Manager which is an in-built VPS, so you can trade directly on the cloud without the need to download or run your models in an external platform or VPS. Also, some functions that he uses here on the prop trading desk.

Why do traders use a VPS to run automated trading systems?

Many traders use a VPS to run automated trading systems for several reasons. First, a VPS provides uninterrupted connectivity to the broker’s trading server, which is essential for automated trading. Second, a VPS allows traders to run their trading systems 24 hours a day, even when they are not physically present at their computers. Finally, a VPS can provide extra security for traders’ computer systems and data.

Why Trade Views cloud based trading software?

There are several reasons to trade with Trade Views X-Manager. First, the software is designed for traders who want to take advantage of the power of cloud computing without the need for a VPS. Second, the software provides access to a variety of markets and data, which can give traders an edge in their trading. Finally, the software comes with 24/7 customer support, which can help traders resolve any issues that they may encounter.

What are the most common issues with a VPS?

There are several common issues that can arise when using a VPS for automated trading. First, if the VPS is not properly configured, it can lose connectivity to the broker’s trading server. This can cause trades to be missed or executed late, which can have a negative impact on the results of the trading system. Second, if the VPS is not monitored properly, it can run out of memory and storage space, which can also cause problems with trade execution. Finally, if the VPS is not located in a secure location, it can be susceptible to hacking and other security risks.

How do I choose a good VPS provider?

When choosing a VPS provider for automated trading, it is important to consider several factors. First, the provider should offer uninterrupted connectivity to the broker’s trading server. Second, the provider should offer a variety of plans that allow traders to select the one that best fits their needs. Finally, the provider should be located in a secure location and offer 24/7 customer support, which Trade View X offers.
