Does cloud copy trading need my computer or a VPS running?
Niubang copy trading runs in the cloud, so followers do not need their own computer, MT5 or a rented VPS running. This guide explains when you still need your own terminal.

Followers do not need a running computer
Niubang copy trading runs in the cloud. A follower enters their MT5 account, server and trading password on the copy page, and Niubang's servers place the orders for that account, so copying continues with your own computer and MT5 switched off and no VPS to rent.
From receiving the master's new trade to the copy account's fill, across 22,470 trades from 2026-10-13 to 11-12, the median was 0.49 seconds and the fastest 0.14 seconds. Weekly figures are in “Niubang copy speed and stability”.
For masters
The master only provides the read-only (investor) password, used to sync the record; the master's own EA keeps running on their own terminal or VPS.
When you still need your own terminal
If you also run other EAs or trade by hand on the same account, that part needs your own terminal and has nothing to do with Niubang copying. When both act on the same account, watch the margin.
The trading password is used only to place orders and cannot withdraw funds. See “Niubang security and permissions” for details.
Copy trading involves risk, and a strategy's past performance does not guarantee future returns.
FAQ
- What happens if I close a copied position by hand in MT5?
- Niubang does not reopen it. When the master later closes the matching trade, the system finds the position gone and records it as closed.
- Does copying continue when my computer is off?
- Yes. Copying runs on Niubang's servers and does not depend on your computer or MT5 being on.
