A Data Center for MT4 and MT5

 

A Data Center for MT4 and MT5 allows traders to connect to the main server easier and faster. To enable this option the broker should provide support for the MetaTrader Data Center module. If it is available, a broker can connect through one of the data centers. 

 

Multiple data centers increase the connection bandwidth and not only.

This option brings a number of advantages. First of all, it raises the connection bandwidth because of the improved network structure. Another important benefit is that using the data centers allows processing a greater amount of brokers as a result of the increased server capacity. The third positive change is that the data centers enable implementing the additional data security shield, thereby lowering the risk of cyberattacks and unauthorized access to various types of trading data.

There are the specific indicators of data center support. The brokers who implement this technology are marked with an icon of Green and Blue lines, and those who provide a direct connection to the server have icons made of Green and Red lines.

These three key benefits of using our data centers are worth mentioning:

 

• Faster connection

• Enlarged server capacity

• Higher security level

 

The way it works:

When multiple data centers' network is unavailable, MetaTrader tries connecting to the data center being the closest one to the client's location. It allows increasing an operation processing period and reducing a delay when the market situation is unstable.

A number of traders experience some problems with connecting to MT4 or MT5 servers. They are caused by the slow Internet connection or the speed restrictions set by Internet service providers. Left click on the Connection status indicator forces the switching of a data center the trader is connected to. It creates more favorable trade conditions where every market participant has equal conditions and opportunities.
