Hi Scalpers,

i would like to talk little bit about infrastructure.
What is you favorite place to deploy your forex scalping EAs?

For me i like to locate cloud instance near broker data center.
In last two years i have used Amazon cloud located in Frankfurt.
I have there ping like 2ms.

What about you?

Hi FTtrader,

this is interesting topic even for me.
I prefer two options, first of all if i need to be flexible i will choose google cloud instance in London or some region near New York city.
Closest Region i think is: us-east4 (Ashburn, Virginia) with zones us-east4-a, us-east4-b, and us-east4-c.

On another hand i want to have security, i do not why, but i still prefer instance in Switzerland.
May be later i will share more about configuration of such instance.
