I'm the first to admit I'm not computer savvy and have got myself into a bit of a tangle. I'm trying to run a VPS from the same computer as my main computer. This is to host metatrader 4 and my EA for my forex trading. The main reason I require a VPS is so that my EA (Expert Advisor) can execute trades without my presence and a consistent connection is always in place. I installed the VPS and the EA to the VPS okay, but when I open metatrader 4 from with main computer or the VPS (the same computer) Metatrader 4 briefly begins to operate before shutting down. I don't know the reason for this but I'm guessing I'm not suppose to run the VPS from my main computer as they interfere with each other or I simply don't have enough RAM to run both from the same computer? Does this sound plausible or is it something else? Any help appreciated.
