Why cTrader Belongs on a VPS
What a home PC cannot give cTrader and your cBots
cTrader Automate executes cBots inside the desktop application. Close the app, lose the connection or let Windows restart, and every bot stops; on a server in your broker's city it never does.
cBots trade while you sleep
cTrader Automate runs your cBots only while cTrader Desktop is open and connected. On a laptop they stop at every reboot, sleep timer and Wi-Fi drop; on a server next to your broker they run from Sunday open to Friday close.
Same city as your cTrader broker
IC Markets' cTrader servers publish Equinix LD5 and FxPro publishes LD4, both in the Slough campus, so this page presets London. Brokers with infrastructure in London are under 10 ms from the London VPS; New York, Frankfurt and Singapore are under 1 ms to brokers hosted there.
A Windows desktop built for it
cTrader Desktop is a Windows application, and every Forex VPS comes with Windows Server pre-installed and reachable over Remote Desktop from a PC, Mac or phone. Install cTrader from your broker's download page as you would at home.
100% uptime SLA with failover
Your VPS runs on a Proxmox HA cluster with storage replicated three times. If a host fails, the VM restarts on another node within seconds, so an open position managed by a cBot is never left alone because of hardware.
Memory for a heavier platform
cTrader uses more memory than MetaTrader 4, so plan on 1 to 2 GB per cTrader instance plus what Windows needs. Forex VPS 2 with 8 GB is the comfortable starting point for one instance with several cBots and a backtest; raise the RAM slider at any time.
Help with the first install
Our 24/7 team, rated 9.5/10 by customers, helps with the Remote Desktop connection, the cTrader install and the first cBot, and the setup guide below walks through it step by step.
Which Location For Your Broker?
Pick the city where your broker keeps its servers
Most retail brokers run their MetaTrader and cTrader servers in a handful of Equinix campuses in these four cities. Choose the one that matches your broker and that location is set on every plan below.

Brokers move servers, and some run different platforms or entities in different cities, so check the server name and ping in your platform before you order. Broker not listed?

cTrader VPS Plans
Configure your cTrader server
London is preset because the cTrader brokers that publish their servers are in the Equinix London campus; change the city if yours is elsewhere. Pick a plan by memory, move the sliders if you need more, and choose the billing term. The price on every card updates as you go.

From Order to First Trade
Set up cTrader on your VPS in five steps
Most traders have cTrader and a cBot running within half an hour of ordering. The full walkthrough is in the setup guide below.
1
Receive your RDP details
The server address, username and password arrive by email as soon as the VPS is provisioned, usually within minutes of ordering.
2
Connect over Remote Desktop
Use Remote Desktop Connection on Windows, Microsoft Remote Desktop on macOS, or the mobile app, and log in as administrator.
3
Install cTrader Desktop
Download cTrader from your broker's website (the broker-branded build) or from Spotware, run the installer on the server and sign in with your cTrader ID.
4
Add your cBots and indicators
Open the Automate tab, add your cBots and custom indicators, set the parameters and start an instance on the chart and account you trade.
5
Disconnect and leave it running
Close the Remote Desktop window, not cTrader. The application and its cBots keep running on the server; reconnect from any device to check on them.

Frequently Asked Questions
cTrader VPS questions
Yes. cTrader Desktop is a Windows application and runs on Windows Server exactly as it does on Windows 10 or 11. Install the broker-branded build or the Spotware build on the VPS, sign in with your cTrader ID, and your charts, indicators and cBots work without changes. cTrader Web and the mobile apps are for monitoring; cBots only execute inside cTrader Desktop, which is why it has to stay open on a machine that never switches off.
The city your broker publishes for its cTrader servers. IC Markets' cTrader servers name Equinix LD5 in London and FxPro names LD4 in the same Slough campus, so London is preset on this page. If your broker names another city, pick it from the broker matcher above or read the ping next to each server in the cTrader login screen from a trial server in two cities and keep the lower one. Brokers with infrastructure in London are under 10 ms from the London VPS; New York, Frankfurt and Singapore are under 1 ms to brokers hosted there.
cTrader is heavier than MetaTrader 4. Plan on 1 to 2 GB per cTrader instance on top of what Windows uses, more while a backtest or optimisation runs in Automate. Forex VPS 1 with 2 GB is tight for cTrader; Forex VPS 2 with 8 GB runs one instance with several cBots comfortably, and the RAM slider on every card goes higher without a reinstall.
Yes. One cTrader Desktop instance signed in with your cTrader ID can hold accounts at several brokers, and each cBot instance is attached to one account and one symbol, so a single installation can trade a live account, a demo and a prop-firm evaluation side by side. Run a second installation only when the accounts belong to different cTrader IDs or you want them isolated.
Some cTrader brokers offer a VPS once you deposit or trade a minimum volume, usually on a small shared instance in a city they choose. It can be enough for one cBot on one account. If you want to pick the city, run several instances or trade with more than one broker, a VPS you control is the better fit, and the 15-day guarantee covers a side-by-side test.
No, and that is deliberate: cTrader builds are broker-specific and you should install the one your broker provides, signed in with your own cTrader ID. The server comes with Windows Server pre-installed and reachable over Remote Desktop, the install takes a few minutes, and our team helps with the first setup if you want it.
