Built for heavy EAs
Designed for long history datasets and 100k–300k pass optimizations in MetaTrader 5.
Private MT5 agent farm
No sharing, no per-pass fees — just your own isolated farm with full control and better data privacy.
EPYC 9454P hardware
Powered by AMD EPYC™ 9454P 48-Core “Genoa” (Zen 4) with fast NVMe storage.
Plug-and-play with your MT5
Your existing MT5 terminal stays the master — our servers join as remote agents and do the heavy lifting.
Who is this for?

Traders and teams whose MT5 optimizations no longer fit on one machine.

If a single 64-core or 128-thread CPU still leaves you waiting tens of hours for every optimization, it is time to move from “big PC” to a private MT5 backtest farm.

Algo traders with complex EAs Quant & research teams Prop firms & signal providers
Individual algo traders
  • Running heavy MT5 robots with long history and 100k+ pass optimizations.
  • Want to turn 30–50 hour runs into a few hours and iterate faster on ideas.
Teams, prop firms & services
  • Several people share hardware and queue for optimizations all day long.
  • Need stable, reproducible MT5 backtests across many symbols and strategies.
The problem

Why your home PC stopped being enough for MT5 optimizations.

Modern EAs are heavier, use more symbols and run on 7–10 years of data. What used to be a quick optimization now turns into 30–50 hours of continuous load even on high-end 64-core or 128-thread CPUs. At some point, adding “one more monster desktop” simply stops scaling.

When optimization time grows faster than your hardware budget, you need a farm.
Heavy EAs and long history
Every pass has to crunch multiple symbols, filters and risk rules on several years of ticks. A single full optimization with 100k–300k passes easily eats days of wall-clock time on one machine.
Scaling hits a wall
MT5 does not scale perfectly beyond a certain core count on one box: memory bandwidth, disk I/O and non-parallel parts of the tester become the bottleneck, long before you get “linear speedup” from more cores.
Your main workstation becomes a bottleneck
While a multi-day optimization is running, the machine is busy and loud. You cannot comfortably work, test other ideas or run multiple EAs in parallel — research speed slows down together with your trading.
The solution

Your MT5 stays the master. We give it a farm of dozens of cores.

You keep using your existing MetaTrader 5 terminal as the “brain”. We attach a private cluster of AMD EPYC servers as MT5 tester agents. Your optimizations stay under your control, but the heavy lifting moves to dedicated hardware.

1
MT5 on your side remains the master terminal — no need to move accounts or change your workflow.
2
Our AMD EPYC servers join as a private MT5 agent farm over the network and take passes from your optimizations.
3
You can combine your own CPU and the farm, scaling from one machine to dozens of cores whenever you need it.
MT5 master + local power
Local high-end CPU for MT5
Your existing desktop or server acts as the MT5 master terminal, using its own cores plus the farm when needed.

Winservers.NET provides isolated AMD EPYC nodes as MT5 tester agents: no sharing, no per-pass fees, just your private backtest cluster.
How it works technically

How it looks inside MT5.

From your side there is no new software. You simply turn on optimization in the Strategy Tester, tick the remote agents coming from Winservers.NET, and MT5 starts splitting passes across all available cores — local and remote.

1

Choose EA, symbol, dates and enable optimization.
In the Strategy Tester, set Optimization to “Fast genetic” or “Slow complete algorithm”.
2

Tick local and farm agents.
In the Agents tab, enable your own CPU cores plus the “Local Network Farm” agents hosted on Winservers.NET.
3

Start the optimization.
MT5 distributes passes automatically across all agents. You watch the results in your master terminal as usual.

Farm configurations

Standard MT5 farm configurations.

Pick a starting point that matches how often you run MT5 optimizations and how quickly you want 100k–300k pass runs to finish. All farms can be scaled up or down as your research pipeline grows.

Starter Farm
1× EPYC 9454P 48-Core, 256 GB RAM — a boost on top of your existing machine.
€270 / month per farm node
  • 48 physical Zen 4 cores, 256 GB DDR5 ECC RAM, fast NVMe datacenter SSD.
  • Good choice if you want to speed up existing optimizations roughly 1.5–3× versus a single local workstation.
  • Ideal as an add-on to a strong home PC (Threadripper / i9 / Ryzen 9).
Most popular
Pro Farm
3× EPYC 9454P (144 cores total) — designed to turn heavy MT5 runs into a few-hour job.
€750 / month for 3 nodes
  • 3 dedicated AMD EPYC 9454P servers, each with 48 cores, 256 GB RAM and NVMe SSDs.
  • Target scenario: 100k–300k passes on several symbols in hours instead of days, depending on EA complexity.
  • Fits traders and small teams who run optimizations regularly and need predictable turnaround time.
Custom Farm
5–8+ EPYC nodes tailored to your time targets, budget and optimization workload.
Custom pricing — discounts up to 20%
  • Cluster size designed around your own MT5 setup: symbols, history depth and expected passes per run.
  • Best option if you constantly run 100k+ passes across multiple instruments or several EAs in parallel.
  • Volume discounts for larger farms and long-term commitments.
Each farm node is delivered with Windows Server 2022 Evaluation preinstalled for initial testing. All prices exclude Windows licensing. You can then either rent licenses monthly or purchase your own perpetual Windows Server licenses and use them on any hardware, including with future providers.
Case study

Example: 7.5 years of XAUUSD history, 296,000 passes.

Same EA, same 7.5-year XAUUSD dataset, same 296 000-pass optimization. Only the compute setup changes — and the waiting time changes with it.

     
16-core desktop
The run is technically possible, but becomes a multi-day optimization that can easily occupy the machine for an entire weekend or longer.
     
128-thread workstation
A high-end CPU compresses the job to roughly around 50 hours, but each full optimization still costs almost two trading days of wall-clock time.
     
Threadripper + 3× EPYC farm
The workload is split across ~200+ effective threads. The same optimization typically finishes in several hours instead of several days, letting you iterate on strategy ideas within a single session.
Actual timings always depend on your EA logic, modeling mode and data quality. We size every MT5 farm around your specific setup and the target time you want for a “typical” optimization.

Onboarding

How we bring your MT5 farm online in 1–2 days.

We keep the process simple: you describe how you use MT5 today, we size the farm around your workload, deploy the servers and help you connect them as remote agents in your Strategy Tester.

1
Discuss your workload
We clarify which EAs you run, history depth (e.g. 7–10 years), typical number of passes and what “acceptable optimization time” means for you.
2
Propose farm options
You get 1–2 concrete farm configurations: number of AMD EPYC nodes, RAM, NVMe, and whether to rent Windows licenses or bring your own.
3
Deploy and configure
We provision the servers, install MT5 MetaTester Agents, configure ports and security, and prepare the farm to accept jobs from your MT5 terminal.
4
Connect from your MT5
We send you IPs, ports and agent passwords and guide you through adding the farm as a Local Network in MT5, so agents show up in the Strategy Tester.
5
Run and scale
You start running real optimizations on the farm. If needed, we help you scale the number of nodes up or down based on your research backlog.
Typical setup time for a standard farm is 1–2 business days after payment and OS licensing.
FAQ

Typical questions about MT5 farms.

A few practical answers to what traders usually ask when they move from a single MT5 box to a dedicated backtest farm.

?
How is an MT5 farm different from a normal VPS/server for MT5?
A normal VPS or single server usually runs one or a few MT5 terminals for live trading and some light testing. An MT5 farm is a cluster of dedicated servers configured as MetaTester agents specifically for heavy backtests and optimizations. Your terminal stays the “brain”, while the farm is pure compute for 100k+ pass runs.
?
Do I need to move my MT5 / EAs to your servers?
No. Your MT5 terminal can remain on your home workstation or on an existing VPS. You simply add our servers as remote agents (Local Network Farm) in the Strategy Tester, and MT5 starts sending passes to them. If you prefer, we can also host your “master” MT5 terminal on a separate VPS with us, but that is optional.
?
Can I use the farm for optimizations and live trading at the same time?
Technically yes: you can dedicate some cores or a separate server for live trading and use the farm nodes for backtests. In practice, we recommend keeping at least one instance (or machine) reserved for live trading and using the farm primarily for optimizations, so heavy tests never affect your production terminal.
?
Where are the servers located and what is the typical latency?
Our MT5 farm nodes are hosted in modern European datacenters with good backbone connectivity. For most clients in Europe, typical ping to the farm is in the ~20–60 ms range, and from other regions it’s usually below ~150 ms. Latency matters much less for backtests than for live execution, but we still keep the network fast and stable.
?
Is there a minimum term? Can I try it for one month?
The minimum term is one month, so you can start with a 1-month farm, run your real optimizations and then decide whether to continue, scale up or scale down. There is no long multi-year lock-in; if you purchase your own Windows licenses, you can also reuse them with any future provider.
?
Can I connect to the farm from multiple computers?
Yes. You can add the farm agents in several MT5 terminals (for example, from your home PC and from a VPS). In practice we coordinate how many concurrent masters use the same farm, so capacity is not overbooked and you always get predictable optimization speed.
