Using MetaTrader 5 without your own PC

For orders and stop changes to arrive even when your laptop is closed, MT5 needs a machine that keeps running. Until now that mostly meant renting and maintaining a VPS yourself.

Why the terminal has to keep running

The MT5 terminal connects to your broker's server. If it is not running, it cannot send anything. To manage trades from your phone or use rules such as “stop to breakeven after TP1”, you need an environment that is online at all times.

What matters with a VPS

  • Stable connection and little downtime
  • Updates for the operating system and MT5
  • Secure storage of your login data
  • Someone who steps in when the terminal hangs
