A trading VPS does not guarantee profit; its role is to keep terminals and bots running on stable infrastructure. Network path, RTT and jitter to the broker or data source can matter as much as CPU and memory. Infrastructure cannot guarantee financial results.
Low latency means low round-trip time and jitter between the VPS and broker/data endpoint. Even two servers in the same city can differ because of routing. Test ping/trace or application-level latency to the target endpoint before buying.
Even when the terminal runs on the VPS, orders travel over the network to the broker gateway. DNS, routing, transit and broker infrastructure contribute to total latency.
If the broker provides a hostname/IP, use ping and traceroute from the VPS for a basic network view. If ICMP is blocked, use application-level latency or TCP tests.
ping -c 20 broker.example.comtraceroute broker.example.commtr -rwzc 50 broker.example.comcurl -o /dev/null -s -w 'connect=%{time_connect}\n' https://broker.example.comActual demand depends on EA count, charts and memory per terminal. Measure process usage with a small pilot first.
A terminal running continuously does not require RDP to be open to everyone.
If the broker is in London, Frankfurt or elsewhere, the best VPS location depends on routing. Being close to the user does not necessarily mean being close to the broker.

Use real RTT to broker endpoint
No. A VPS only provides infrastructure; trading results and financial performance cannot be guaranteed.
Windows VPS is the common choice for desktop MetaTrader. Alternatives such as Wine exist but should be tested carefully.
There is no universal threshold. Broker, strategy and network stability matter; measure jitter and packet loss in addition to average RTT.
Share broker endpoint, terminal count and Windows needs; we can plan location and VDS capacity around measurable latency.
