How the MQL5 Cloud Network works

In the MQL5 Cloud Network, people who have spare computer CPU time share this processing power with those who need it. To join the network, download and install the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester Agent.

The Strategy Tester application launches special computing services on the computer which are called tester agents. By default, the number of installed agents is equal to the number of physical cores on the computer. The more cores in your computer, the more resources you can provide in the MQL5 Cloud Network.

MQL5 Cloud Network computing power can be accessed via the MetaTrader 5 terminal. The Strategy Tester window features local and remote agents, as well as MQL5 Cloud Network agents which are grouped on a geographical basis. For quick access and better load balancing, agents register at the nearest access points.

MQL5 Cloud Network assists traders in faster optimizing their algorithmic trading systems written in the MQL5 language, while allowing the owners of free resources to earn from spare processing power.

MQL5 programs are safe, run in their own virtual sandbox and do not affect the environment. When running in the MQL5 Cloud Network, DLL calls from MQL5 programs are prohibited.

We invite traders and enthusiasts to join the MQL5 Cloud Network. Let your computer not only emit heat into the atmosphere but also assist the humanity in running useful distributed computing projects.
