What are the risks of using MT4?

As a trading platform, MT4 is designed to meet the highest security standards. So, you can rest assured that it's safe to use when trading with FXOpen. There are still risks to be aware of when investing capital – like in any form of trading. Never expose yourself to losses you can't afford.

What is MT4 VPS?

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. For the MT4 trading platform, it is where an online version is provided to you. Low latency and consistent connections are just two VPS benefits. It ensures that algorithms can run around the clock – even if you're not using the platform itself.

FXOpen offers a free VPS to our clients who trade more than 100 lots per calendar month. For a full overview of the benefits and our terms and conditions, see the FXOpen Forex VPS page.

A VPS does not affect the functionality of MT4. Nor will it restrict any access to your markets.
