Frequently asked questions
Do I need VPS for EAs?
Not always, but a VPS keeps your strategy running if your PC sleeps or loses connection — important for 24/5 strategies.
Will my EA work on any broker?
Only on the platform it was built for (MT4 EA on MT4, cBot on cTrader). Confirm the broker runs that platform.
Does automation remove risk?
No. A buggy or over-optimised bot can lose fast. Back-test, then run on a small live account first.
