What does the foreign exchange EA software choose to configure ECS?

What to configure ECS for foreign exchange EA software ？ What configuration server is required for foreign exchange EA? Many domestic foreign exchange investors use EA software to hang up and operate automatically, which puts forward high requirements for the stability, delay and connection speed of ECS. There are many cloud server vendors on the market, and there are many configurations and models to choose from. Because of cross industry reasons, it is not easy to find a server that meets your needs. Many people will be puzzled by problems, such as which vendor's server to choose, what type of server, and what configuration is suitable for their own requirements. We have seen many novice forex users on the Weieis blog who don't know how to choose an appropriate ECS to hang EA software. This article is prepared for these foreign exchange traders.

Foreign Exchange EA is a complete set of intelligent foreign exchange trading system, which is developed using MT4 and MT5. The intelligent program obtains the market price in real time, automatically judges the time of placing an order and closing a position, and the computer simulates the transaction to place an order without manual operation. When we do foreign exchange, we usually choose ECS to hang foreign exchange EA software,

The ECS is like a computer of its own. It is placed in a large data center and operates steadily for 7 * 24 hours. After remote login, you can upload and install EA software as if you were operating your own computer. Therefore, the stability of ECS is directly related to the stability of EA software. According to the experience of Lao Wei, we must choose a big brand like Alibaba Cloud to hang up the server. The quality is guaranteed, the stability is extremely high, and the security is also extremely high. After we choose it, we can hang up the server without worrying about anything else. The ECS that Laowei has friends who are speculating in foreign exchange and hang EA software is selected and configured by Laowei. It has been running well for so long.

Alibaba Cloud Server is taken as an example to explain how to select an ECS configuration suitable for EA software.

I Click me to open Alibaba Cloud website, log in with Taobao or Alipay account, and register a new account if you don't have an account. At the same time, you can get an AliCloud 1000 yuan voucher. When you pay for AliCloud products, you can offset some of the money according to the prompts on the page, so as to save money.

2、 After successful login, check whether you have a real name. All domestic ECS servers must use the real name system, otherwise you cannot buy cloud products.

After logging in, place the mouse on the avatar in the upper right corner of the web page to see how it prompts. If it has been authenticated by real name as shown in the figure below, you can directly jump to the next step. If no real name authentication is displayed, click to enter and pass the real name authentication according to the prompt on the page.

III Click me to open On the Alibaba Cloud preferential activity model page, we choose the model from which we want to hang EA software. Please see the figure below for how to choose, and Lao Wei will explain in detail one by one. Even a novice can buy a suitable host once after reading my explanation.

1. Select the computing network enhanced 2-core 4G configuration. The default is 1 year. If you plan to do it for a long time, the longer you buy it, the more cost-effective it will be. Three years is the best time to save money.

Some online tutorials here let you choose the above instance of burst performance, which Lao Wei firmly opposes. Because the CPU performance baseline of this configuration is limited to 15%, it will get stuck after running the Windows server system for a period of time, and the EA software cannot run normally. As a professional foreign exchange trader, it is not worth taking great risks in order to save hundreds of dollars. The risk comes from the transaction delay and lost profit opportunities caused by the instability of low-cost servers. Don't buy that model in order to be cheap. You will regret it after using it. This is a personal experience that Lao Wei and his friends have actually tested.

Another option is Tencent ECS, which is more cost-effective than Alibaba Cloud Server.

You can see that the same 2-core 4G memory 1M bandwidth configuration requires only 4698 yuan/3 years for Alibaba Cloud and 3117 yuan/3 years for Tencent Cloud. In terms of actual performance, there is no difference between the two. They are both very fast. Such a large price gap stems from the competitive relationship between the two companies. Alibaba Cloud accounts for more than 60% of the market share of the domestic cloud market, and Tencent Cloud, as the second in line, naturally attracts new users to buy cloud products through various marketing methods. This is a marketing method.

2. Regional selection. The region selection in the figure above is very important. The region close to the trading platform server should be selected according to the geographical location of the trading platform server. For example, if the server of the trading platform is located in Hong Kong, Hong Kong will be chosen. If the server of the trading platform is located in the United States, we will choose the western region of the United States. Please choose carefully, because you can't change the region after payment.

Domestic nodes: North China 2 Beijing, East China 1 Hangzhou, East China 2 Shanghai, South China 1 Shenzhen, Hong Kong;

Foreign nodes: West America, Singapore, Germany, Australia.

3. Only windows sever 2012 can be selected as the operating system. This is the choice for both domestic and foreign nodes. Because our foreign exchange EA software can only run on Windows, and the performance of Windows 2012 is better than that of 2008.

4. Bandwidth. If only one or two EA software are running, select 1M bandwidth; If you want to run more than 10 EA software at the same time, you must choose 2M bandwidth. This can make the data run faster, and you can make more money if your order is a few seconds faster than others; On the contrary, your server bandwidth is not enough, and the software order transaction has a delay, which will cost you money every minute. Everyone can settle this account.

If you don't know how to select bandwidth and are afraid that it will affect the order speed, you must select 2M bandwidth, which is enough.

5. Click Buy Now to pay with Alipay.

Be careful not to use this ECS with software attached to it as a website. The simultaneous operation of the two businesses, hanging up and website, will affect the server performance, resulting in a larger delay time for software transactions.

The above is the complete operation process of how to select ECS configuration for foreign exchange EA software. You can buy ECS with high cost performance by following this prompt.
