other than just host MT4. You are limited to how many log files you can read which can be quite a big problem if you need to investigate some error or misbehavior of Expert Advisor.
If you use trade copier software on each MT4 platform, then you might be able to run fewer platforms on the same VPS accounts. And make sure you optimize your VPS to increase the speed of MetaTrader 4 platforms.
Here are the Metatrader 4 minimum system requirements that will help you choose a VPS server:
Windows 2000/XP
1.0 GHz CPU (single core)
512 MB RAM
Screen resolution 1024×768
10 GB Hard Disk Space
Modem/connection speed 36.6 Kbps
Internet Explorer version 6.0 / Mozilla Firefox 2.0
And these are the MT4 recommended requirements:
Windows XP/VISTA/7
2.0 GHz CPU (single core) or faster
1024 MB RAM or greater
Screen resolution 1024×768+
Modem/connection speed 56 Kbps+
Internet Explorer version 8.0 / Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or later
CONCLUSION
In theory, there is no limit as to how many MT4 terminals you can run on a single machine; the limit comes from the actual hardware specifications. On an average computer, you should be able to run at least four platforms with no trouble.
So how many MT4 platforms are you running on your computer or VPS server? Please post a comment and share the numbers below.
