January 19, 2008

If found that Ck write really good guidance about VPS for Metatrader Expert Advisor.

VPS Introduction

This guide aims to help you configure a Windows Virtual Private Server(from now on refered to as a VPS) for the purpose of running a MT4 trading platform. Where possible, I’ll try not to use too much technical jargon to explain how things are done. But being a technical document, it will be hard not to be a bit technical at times.

For the techies, this document will be easy to follow. For those who are not as technically inclined, I suggest that you get assistance from a friend who is more comfortable with the contents within this document.

As this document is distributed to many people, I will not be able to provide any technical support with regards to setting up your VPS. However, you can visit the following link to post your questions, and hopefully one of the many kind souls out there will be able to help you. Who knows… the queries that you have may have already been asked and answered.

I will also be checking in regularly to see how I can help out. I believe this form of ’support’ will work out better in the long run since everyone will be able to see the Qs and As to help themselves as much as they can. I’ll also post new versions of this guide there for download when it becomes available.
