What Is a Trading Server?
A trading server is a remote Windows machine hosted in a professional data center with high-speed connectivity to market-data and broker infrastructure. It provides an always-on environment for running automated strategies, advanced charting platforms, trade-management systems, and remote trading workspaces. Choose an affordable VPS for flexibility and value, or a dedicated server for isolated resources, greater consistency, and maximum performance.
