Exchange EA selects ECS or local computer ？ Friends who do foreign exchange will use their computers to hang up EA software for automatic transactions. At first, they hang up on local computers. Later, they found that they will encounter various problems, so some friends also hang up on ECS. So which is more conducive to our online foreign exchange transactions with the online EA software? In this article, Weieis Blog shares some practical experience.
1、 What is ECS?
ECS is also a computer. It is a remote computer provided to you by the service provider. We can operate it through the remote desktop anywhere we can access the Internet. ECS provides a Windows server system, which is exactly the same process as our home computers.
2、 The foreign exchange EA software can also be run on the local computer, and does not have to be hung on the server. However, the foreign exchange trading market is non-stop 24 hours a day, so the foreign exchange EA software also needs to run 24 hours a day, that is, the computer linked to the software also needs to run 24 hours a day. The home computer may be stuck and disconnected after a long time of operation, so it is necessary to restart the computer, which is equivalent to restarting the MT4 and EA software, not to mention that the local computer will crash, blue screen, power failure accident, network disconnection and other situations at critical moments. If we are not near the computer at this time, even if we are there, we will not necessarily solve the problem immediately, Let the software work properly. This will seriously affect normal transactions.
3、 If there is only one computer in your home that can be used to hang up EA software, while watching movies, chatting with various social software, playing games and other networking actions, the computer will slow down and the network speed will be reduced, which will eventually affect the normal operation of MT4 and EA software; Even if there are multiple computers, it is not good to use one to hang the EA software alone. When another computer is connected to the network, the whole network situation will also be affected, which will lead to high delay of EA software, which may lead to transaction delay, less profit or loss.
To sum up, it is not very safe to hang EA software on the local computer. You should know that if foreign exchange transactions are delayed for a while, you will lose a lot. Therefore, it is not worth the loss to hang EA software on the local computer.
4、 In comparison, ECS will not encounter the above mentioned situations, and ECS will not fail in the case of long-term operation (Alibaba Cloud server failure free rate remains at 99.9999%). ECS is far superior to personal computers in terms of configuration, performance, stability and network speed. So if you take foreign exchange seriously as a money making thing, it is recommended that you choose to run on a stable and low latency ECS when you hang up foreign exchange EA software.
ECS is generally located in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, where the Internet is well developed, and the network latency is lower than that of other small and medium-sized cities. So if you choose ECS, it also means that your foreign exchange transaction latency is lower, the speed is faster, and when there is a transaction price that meets the rules, the EA software that others hang on the local computer has not yet responded, But the EA software you put on the ECS has already been sold, and you will sell it earlier than others, which means you know what the result is.
5、 ECS recommendation for foreign exchange linked EA software
1. Tencent ECS is more cost-effective than Alibaba Cloud Server. ECS with the same configuration is much cheaper than Alibaba Cloud.
The price is the same in Guangzhou/Shanghai/Beijing. The standard S2 model is 2659.5 yuan/year. The maximum network receiving and sending capacity is 500000 PPS, and the intranet bandwidth capacity is 15000 Gbps.

The standard instance is the balance of computing, memory and network resources, which can meet the application resource requirements in most scenarios. It is recommended to be used for small and medium-sized WEB applications and small and medium-sized databases.
Especially when the foreign exchange EA hangs up, the use of Tencent Cloud's standard S2 2-core 4G memory is more cost-effective.
2、 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 following figure for how to choose. Novice can also buy a suitable host once after reading my explanation. Note that it is suitable, not the cheapest.
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.

It can be said that if the local computer is used as the foreign exchange EA, it can not compare with the cloud server in all aspects. A slow step in the rapidly changing foreign exchange market is equivalent to a heavy loss. Therefore, it is wiser to choose ECS for foreign exchange EA to hang up. After reading this article, I hope everyone can understand the truth and gain more in the foreign exchange market.
