Frequently asked
An EA needs to run 24/5. Running it on your home machine means power cuts, ISP drops, and OS updates kill the strategy. A VPS co-located with the broker drops latency to single-digit ms.
MT4 has the biggest EA library but is dated. MT5 handles multi-asset and backtesting better. cTrader’s cAlgo and API are developer-friendly and commissions tend to be lower at the same broker.
