If you have an unused computer and you want it to make money for you while it takes up room in your house or office, here is an idea.

MQL5 Cloud Network will help people with an unused computer rent its spare resources to those who need it. The powers of such a system could be used by developers of automated trading systems (trading robots) or researchers who might need large amounts of computation. The owner of the leased computer will receive fees for providing the resources.

You can sell your computer’s CPU to other members of our network for a variety of tasks, from trading strategy testing to distributed computing required in the development of new drugs.
