Thanks for the info…..
Does that mean EAs can be run from here 24 X 7 without keeping your PC on?
As far as NSE is considered we are still 15 years behind…lolz
Yes you can now run EA’s in Virtual hosting account provided by Metaquotes on Subscription basis. Iam able to see couple of Indians doing algo trading in virtual enviroment. It is an evolution and it takes time!
BSE, NSE and the crooked SEBI are still in the stone age.
Anyways, thank you Mr. Rajendran for the info and your continuous efforts.
