These days, more and more traders prefer automated trading to manual one. In other words, they outsource the trading process to trading robots. They say that the biggest advantage of using trading robots (also known as expert advisors) is the absence of emotions all human traders are subject to. Indeed, emotions in trading lead to poor results more often than not.
Forex Robots: Good or Evil?
First off, not trading robot will ever go reckless because of greed, excitement or fear. Robots just follow their algorithms strictly at all times (unless there is some breakdown or errors). If the code is perfect (or nearly perfect) and based on a decent algorithm while all the connections are stable, the trading robot is not going to fail.
Consequently, trading robots put a lot of routine off their master human traders' shoulders, thereby giving them a chances to do something else, occasionally monitoring the situation. Trading robots can trade 24/7 and are faster in making trading decisions and sending orders if the algorithm is clear.
On the other hand, trading robots can and do fail when internet connection fails or when some sophisticated algorithms a certain robot is based on cannot be handled by the broker. These days, financial markets are almost entirely traded via the Internet, which means that a stable Internet connection is a cornerstone of successful FX trading., especially when it comes to automated trading.
However, there is a way out for those who use trading robots. It is offered by Fort Financial Services, a well-known FX broker. The solution makes it possible for a trading robot to trade 24/7 without any fear that something may go wrong because of the broken Internet connection. The solution is VPS. Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are dedicated servers that allow you to host your trading robots there and let them trade spotlessly 24/7. With VPS, you can turn off you PC since your trading robot is not hosted on it. That is why you don’t need a stable Internet connection either.
This is what Fort Financial Services thinks about using VPS:
