“Excellent product and support. Confirmed with the author before purchasing that it works with MT4 VPS as well as third-party VPS. It’s working perfectly on MT4 VPS for me and allowing me to scale a signal’s volumes up. I thought this was done by MT4 automatically, but this allows me to make the correction and add further boost as desired. Thanks Mikhail!” – A 5-star review.
