OptiMax User Guide / How to Use Boost Ticket
See How to Use Boost #
OptiMax allows you to maintain an EA DevBox on a monthly basis
while adding Boost Tickets only when you need them to use a high-performance configuration.
This page consolidates how to use Boost, pricing examples, and considerations for extension in a simple way.
⚠ First Things First
Boost Tickets cannot be used alone.
First, please sign up for EA DevBox, and then upgrade to Boost Ticket at the timing when you need it.

What is Boost?
You normally maintain your development environment with the standard configuration of EA DevBox,
and when you want to perform heavy MT5 optimization, backtesting, or short-term concentrated testing,
you upgrade to 24-hour / 7-day / 30-day Boost Ticket to temporarily switch to a high-performance configuration.

How to Use
1
Sign Up for EA DevBox
First, sign up for monthly EA DevBox. This base environment holds your regular development environment, historical data, and settings.
2
Upgrade to Boost Only When Needed
When you want to run heavy optimization, from the client portal upgrade to the L / XL / XXL 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day ticket.
3
Use High-Performance Configuration During Boost Period
With the configuration of your chosen plan, you can efficiently run heavy optimization and backtesting.
4
Automatically Return to Normal Configuration After Period Ends
After 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days end, it automatically returns to the normal configuration of EA DevBox. Your data and settings are maintained as is.
This Approach Works Well For
- Wanting to run lightweight development normally
- Wanting to boost performance just on optimization days
- Wanting to run intensive tasks for a single day
- Wanting to backtest over weekends or several days together
- Knowing continued use is likely, so wanting to use it in 30-day units
Key Point
OptiMax is characterized by the fact that you don’t have to keep a high-performance VPS running all the time.
First, maintain your environment with EA DevBox, then add Boost only when needed, so
you can easily manage operations that reduce everyday costs while using performance only when necessary.

What If 24-Hour Boost Isn’t Enough?
You can start with 24-hour Boost, and if you decide midway that you want to continue with a high-performance configuration,
you can switch to the same grade 7-day Boost. If continued use is foreseeable, selecting 30-day Boost from the start is more cost-effective.
you can switch to the same grade 7-day Boost. If continued use is foreseeable, selecting 30-day Boost from the start is more cost-effective.
Example: If you’re using XL 24-hour Boost and want to continue further
→ Add XL 7-day Boost and continue testing in high-performance configuration
→ Add XL 7-day Boost and continue testing in high-performance configuration
You can start short-term and move to longer tickets as needed.

A. No. You need to sign up for EA DevBox first. Boost is added after you have an EA DevBox subscription.
Q. What happens when Boost ends?
A. After the period ends, it automatically returns to the normal configuration of EA DevBox. Your disk data, settings, and development environment are maintained, but the system will automatically restart when returning to normal configuration, so be careful with tasks scheduled near the deadline.
