Protect your FTMO account
Most prop firm rule breaches caused by technology come from the trader's own computer. Here's how a VPS removes them.
Check FTMO's current VPS rules
Most prop firms allow a personal VPS, but rules change. Confirm FTMO's terms on VPS use, EAs, and copy trading before you start.
Keep one trader per server
Prop firms can flag accounts that share an IP address with unrelated traders. A VPS gives you your own dedicated IP.
Enable terminal auto-start
If the VPS restarts, your terminal and EAs come back on their own, so trades near a daily drawdown limit are never left unmanaged.
Trade from London
It's the closest MarginVPS location to FTMO's servers at 1.00ms, which cuts slippage on fast entries and exits.
How to find your FTMO server
Open the login window
In MetaTrader, go to File → Login to Trade Account. The Server field shows a name like "FTMO-Demo".
Find it in the table
Search the server table below for that exact name to see the MarginVPS location closest to it.
Check the ping on your VPS
After you log in from the VPS, the connection indicator in MetaTrader's bottom-right corner shows your live latency. For FTMO-Demo from London, expect about 1.00ms.
