Need help choosing VPS location & setup for crypto arbitrage bots

I’m running a few crypto arbitrage bots (spot only) and trying to understand how VPS location affects performance.

If I’m based in Dubai and trading mainly on Binance UAE, should I host my VPS locally or closer to where Binance’s servers actually are (Singapore, Tokyo, or Europe)?

Also, how much VPS power do I really need for multiple bots — does higher CPU, RAM, or NVMe storage make a big difference in crypto latency?

Would appreciate any insights from traders who’ve optimized their VPS setup for arbitrage or low-latency crypto trading.

Hey, I’ve actually worked with VPS setups for trading systems before, including latency optimization between Binance and VPS regions.

If you’d like, I can help you benchmark and optimize your setup (region, specs, connection tuning, etc.) so your bots execute faster.

Thanks for getting back, ZhaoCH — really appreciate your time.

I’m currently facing a strange issue that I can’t seem to figure out.I’m based in Dubai and running multiple crypto arbitrage bots (spot only), mainly on Binance (triangular and cross-exchange). I’ve already upgraded to a fast NVMe VPS, optimized my scripts, and even moved my setup close to Binance’s Singapore (Equinix SG1) servers to get sub-1 ms latency (currently averaging 0.1–0.3 ms).

But despite all that, my bots still show “trade failed” messages or partial fills, even though they detect profitable opportunities perfectly. It feels like by the time the orders hit Binance, the price window closes or one leg lags slightly.

I’m not sure if this is caused by:

Binance’s internal engine or queue latency,small VPS routing or jitter variations, orAPI/WebSocket rate-limit differences between VPS regions.Could you clarify what I actually need to look for or upgrade here — for example, is it purely about latency (under 1 ms), or do CPU, RAM, and NVMe speed make a big difference in crypto arbitrage execution too?

Also, if you’ve tested between Singapore, Tokyo, and Europe VPS regions, I’d really like to know which gives the best execution success rate vs. ping in real-world Binance trading.

Any benchmarks, specs, or configuration tips would really help — I want to understand exactly what’s missing or mis-configured on my end before scaling this system further.
