What's a VPS?
Think of it as a computer in the cloud. It's always on, always connected, and runs your MT4 with Proof Gold 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. You connect to it from your laptop or phone to check on things, but the EA runs whether you're watching or not.
It costs about $10-25/month and is the single best investment you can make to improve your EA's performance. Without one, the EA can only trade when your personal computer is on and connected to the internet.
Never Miss a Trade
Gold trades across Asian, London, and NY sessions. A VPS catches every opportunity — 24 hours a day.
Faster Execution
VPS servers are located near broker data centers. Your trades execute milliseconds faster than from a home computer.

Your home internet drops? Power goes out? The VPS keeps running. Your trades stay protected.

Common questions
Do I need a VPS?
You don't strictly need one — Proof Gold works on any computer running MT4. But without a VPS, the EA only trades when your computer is on and connected. A VPS means the EA never misses a session.
Can I use my existing VPS?
Yes. Any Windows VPS that can run MT4 will work. ForexVPS is our recommendation because MT4 comes pre-installed, but you can use any provider.
Can I run other EAs on the same VPS?
Yes. The Basic plan has enough resources for multiple MT4 instances and several EAs running simultaneously.
How do I check on my trades?
Connect to your VPS from any device — laptop, phone, or tablet using a Remote Desktop app. You'll see your MT4 with Proof Gold running, the dashboard showing your trades, and you can disconnect without interrupting anything.
