Built for long optimization runs
Designed for long history datasets and 100k to 300k pass optimizations in MetaTrader 5.
If one optimization already takes 30-50 hours, move heavy MetaTrader 5 backtests to a private cluster of AMD EPYC 9454P servers and reduce waiting time for 100k+ pass runs, depending on EA logic, symbols, data and tester settings.
Designed for long history datasets and 100k to 300k pass optimizations in MetaTrader 5.
No sharing and no per-pass fees, only your isolated farm with direct control over the compute.
AMD EPYC 9454P 48-core Genoa nodes with fast NVMe storage and stable Windows Server deployment.
Your existing MT5 terminal stays the control center while the servers do the heavy lifting as remote agents.
If one optimization already takes 30-50 hours, offload MetaTrader 5 backtests to a dedicated cluster of AMD EPYC 9454P servers and shorten 100k+ pass runs, depending on EA logic, symbols, data and tester settings.
Designed for long history datasets and 100k to 300k pass optimizations in MetaTrader 5.
No sharing, no per-pass fees - just your own isolated farm with full control and better data privacy.
Powered by AMD EPYC™ 9454P 48-Core "Genoa" (Zen 4) with fast NVMe storage.
Your existing MT5 terminal stays the master - our servers join as remote agents and do the heavy lifting.
Who is this for?
If even a 64-core or 128-thread CPU still leaves you waiting for hours, the problem is not your patience. You have reached the point where a bigger desktop stops scaling and a dedicated backtest farm becomes the practical next step.
How it works
You can move MT5 fully onto a high-performance server, or keep the master terminal on your local machine and attach our CPUs as remote tester agents.
You rent a Windows VPS or a dedicated machine with Intel i9, AMD Ryzen, or EPYC class CPUs and work through standard Windows RDP.
If you prefer to keep MT5 on your home PC or laptop, you can add our servers as remote agents in Strategy Tester.
The problem
Modern EAs are heavier, use more symbols, and run across 7-10 years of history. What used to be a quick optimization becomes a long continuous workload, even on a strong workstation.
Every pass has to process symbols, filters, and risk rules over years of ticks, so 100k to 300k runs can take days on one machine.
MT5 does not scale linearly forever. Memory bandwidth, disk I/O, and non-parallel parts of the tester become the bottleneck.
While a multi-day optimization runs, the machine stays busy and noisy, and your research work slows down with it.
The solution
Keep the familiar master terminal and add a private cluster of AMD EPYC servers as MT5 tester agents. Your workflow stays under your control, while the heavy lifting moves to dedicated hardware.
No account migration and no workflow reset. The local MT5 instance remains the brain.
Dedicated AMD EPYC servers attach to the Strategy Tester as a private farm and take optimization passes.
Combine local power with the farm and scale up whenever you need extra throughput.
How it works technically
From your side there is no new software. You enable optimization in the Strategy Tester, tick the farm agents, and MT5 starts splitting passes across local and remote cores.
Set Fast genetic or Slow complete algorithm in the Strategy Tester depending on whether you want speed or full coverage.
Enable your own CPU cores plus the Local Network Farm agents hosted on Winservers.NET.
MT5 distributes passes automatically across all agents. You watch the results in the master terminal as usual.
Farm configurations
Pick a starting point that matches how often you run optimizations and how quickly you want 100k to 300k pass runs to finish. The cluster can scale up or down as your research pipeline grows.
One EPYC 9454P node for traders who want to add serious compute to an existing workstation without moving everything at once.
Add one remote MT5 tester node to your current setup, keep the master terminal where it already is and send only the heavy passes to the farm.
Three EPYC 9454P nodes for traders and small teams that need more throughput and shorter queues for larger optimization batches.
Your master MT5 launches the job and the farm splits optimization passes across three dedicated agents with reserved CPU and RAM.
Five or more EPYC nodes sized around your EA logic, symbols, pass count and the time window you want to hit.
We size the cluster around your workload and can expand node count when the optimization queue grows.
Each farm node is delivered with Windows Server 2022 Evaluation preinstalled for initial testing. All prices exclude Windows licensing.
Final step
Tell us which EA you are running and what kind of optimizations you launch. We will propose a farm configuration that fits your workload and budget.
Case study
Example scenario: 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.
The run is possible, but it can occupy the machine for an entire weekend or longer.
In this example scenario, a strong CPU can compress the job to around 50 hours, but it still consumes almost two trading days.
The workload is split across roughly 200+ effective threads, so the same optimization may finish in several hours instead of several days in this example scenario.
Actual timings always depend on EA logic, modeling mode, and data quality. Each farm is sized around your setup and your target time for a typical optimization.
Onboarding
The process is intentionally simple: you describe your current workflow, we size the farm, deploy the servers, and help you connect them as remote agents.
We clarify which EAs you run, history depth, typical pass count, and what acceptable optimization time means for you.
You get 1-2 concrete configurations: node count, RAM, NVMe, and whether to rent Windows licenses or bring your own.
We provision the servers, install MT5 MetaTester agents, configure ports and security, and prepare the farm for jobs.
We send IPs, ports, and agent passwords and guide you through adding the farm in MT5 as a Local Network.
You start running real optimizations. If needed, we help you scale nodes up or down as the backlog changes.
Once the farm is online, you can refine EAs, rerun passes, and keep your local workstation free for analysis.
Typical setup time for a standard farm is 1-2 business days after payment and OS licensing.
FAQ
Short answers to the questions traders usually ask when they move from a single MT5 box to a dedicated backtest cluster.
A normal VPS or single server usually runs one or a few MT5 terminals for live trading and light testing. An MT5 farm is a cluster of dedicated servers configured as MetaTester agents for heavy backtests and optimizations, while your terminal remains the master.
No. Your MT5 terminal can stay on your workstation or on an existing VPS. You simply add our servers as remote agents in the Strategy Tester. If needed, we can also host the master terminal, but that is optional.
Technically yes, but it is usually better to reserve one machine for live trading and use the farm mainly for optimizations so heavy tests never affect production.
The farm nodes are hosted in modern European datacenters with stable backbone connectivity. Latency matters much less for backtests than for live execution, but the network is kept fast and reliable.
Yes. The minimum term is one month, so you can start with a small farm, run your real optimizations, and then decide whether to continue, scale up, or scale down.
Yes. Winservers.NET supports crypto payments for trading infrastructure, including Windows VPS, dedicated MetaTrader servers, and MT5 backtesting setups.
