how to keep Algo Trading ON during night?

[BeGOOD]

Hello - Should I prevent my PC from going to sleep mode during the night? I think, the Algo Trading stop running when my PC goes to sleep mode. How do I ensure that the Algo Trading keeps running 24x5? thank you

You can use a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or else if possible you can change your pc sleep settings to never sleep and keep it running, ensure you have 24*5 power and internet

Do you have a suggestion as to which VPS works best with Oanda and how much space we should get?

when asking Forex.com, they told me that my meta trader 5 will continue to run when my computer goes to sleep. In looking at my history tab, that may not be true. I will check it out and let you know more.

The best way to accomplish this is to go to your laptop settings for Power and there is an option that says "Never go to sleep while plugged in" and choose that. It sets it so you still have your battery saving sleep mode while not plugged in, but as long as you have the laptop plugged in, it will never go into sleep mode.

That is correct, or use a VPS service

Oanda has partner VPS on website recommended, but I didn't try it

Do you have a suggestion as to which VPS works best with Oanda and how much space we should get?

Does Mt5 run with the computer in sleep mode?

Does Mt5 run with the computer in sleep mode?

No, MT5 won’t run while your computer is in sleep mode. Once your PC goes to sleep, all active processes stop including MT5 and your trading bot.

To keep your trades running 24/7, we recommend using a VPS (Virtual Private Server). It keeps your trading platform online and active even when your computer is turned off.
