Does VPS freezing during high-impact news! How do you keep EAs stable?

CPI/NFP spikes cause my terminal to lag. Any tweaks (CPU priority, disabling logs, etc.) that helped?

I had better stability once I stripped the VPS down to essentials and stopped running anything unnecessary during major news. I would also verify whether the broker feed is part of the problem, because sometimes it looks like a VPS freeze when the bottleneck is somewhere else

I had similar issues during news spikes, usually it’s latency and connection instability, not the EA itself. Moving to a VPS close to the broker helped a lot. Some brokers like LMFX offer integrated VPS setups, which can keep MT4/MT5 stable even during high volatility. Doesn’t fix slippage, but it reduces freezes and disconnects.
