I have chance to learn about forex from scratch and decide to use a vps due to speed requirement. My current connection not support me when I need to close order and requote often.
Fortunately I use forex broker that provide free vps with small requirement :
Available balance is $500
That amount is fair for me and since I also make profit from my trading I can reach that requirement easily.
In this post I will share how to activate free vps for forex trading provided by roboforex.
Get Free VPS for Forex Trading
1. Login to roboforex account
Make sure you already verified for 2 levels :
- identity verification
- phone verification
2. Click link “Your VPS 2.0 Server” under Profile menu
3. Terms of Service
Choose I agree and click “Order VPS Server” button.
4. Roboforex system will check your request
When they found all requirement is passed then you’ll see message like this.
This mean your request approved.
Remote your Free VPS account
1. Find ‘Remote Desktop Connection”
I use windows 7
2. Enter information of your free vps
- Computer : enter ip address that provide by roboforex
- Username : enter username that roboforex provide
3. Remote Desktop connection

4. Enter your vps password information
5. Login to your free vps
At this stage you can verify specification of your free vps by checking hardware information.
You can also check how much space provided
Not bad for me.
I got free vps with these specification :
- Intel Xeon processor
- Memory 384 MB
- Hard Drive space 15 GB
Space : 30 GB
6. Install trading software on my free vps
I use MT 4 for most of my trading activity and the best vps for my opinion also must come with fresh condition (no software installed).
