Reduce Your Costs with VPS
For example, your computer with a monitor that uses 200 watts per hour at a location where the electric rate is $0.12 per kW hour flat rate, as there are 8 760 hours in a year, the total electrical cost would be ((200*8760)/1000)*0.12= $210.24 a year.
Let’s say your computer costs $1,000 and after a year of continuous operation, it is depreciated by 20%, which means that you have lost another $200. As result, your total expenses $210.24 + $200 (electricity + depreciation) = $410.24
For example, your trading terminal on your home PC sends a buy GBPUSD order at 1.29700. However, it reaches to the server 400 milliseconds later when the price is already 1.29710. As a result, your potential profit will be 10 points less.
Let’s assume you are trading with 100K lots. Thus due to slippage, caused by latency of 400 milliseconds, you’re losing $10 / per lot
Great VPS service provider. I have used their VPS service for many years to host my trading EA. The server was always very stable and the price us very competitive and affordable. Would highly recommend using their products.
