Basics of foreign exchange
When it comes to foreign exchange, there are online trading platforms where you can have a look at the market and carry out currency trades. The most popular is the MT4. The platform is usually hosted by brokers who are the link between traders.
As a trader, you need an expert advisor (EA) to look out for the best opportunities on the platform. An EA is a program that generates trading signals and alerts you when there’s a potential opportunity for making a profit. The tool sends orders to the MT4 server according to the parameters set.

A Forex VPS is a service where you deploy your expert advisor (EA) on a VPS hosted by an external service provider. It comes with so many advantages.
They include the following:
- You get access to your platform from anywhere through the internet
