New York
Broker hub: Equinix NY4/NY5, Secaucus
Under 1 ms to brokers with infrastructure in New York. Brokers with servers here include:
A MassiveGRID Forex VPS in New York is a Windows trading server from $2.87 per month, under 1 ms from brokers with infrastructure in the Equinix NY4 and NY5 campus in Secaucus, where IC Markets, FP Markets, Axi, Global Prime and OANDA keep their trade servers. MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and Expert Advisors run 24/7 on a Proxmox HA cluster with NVMe storage, a 100% uptime SLA and a 15-day money-back guarantee. New York is preselected on every plan on this page.
The Equinix NY4 campus is where the largest MetaTrader brokers put their trade servers, next to the banks and ECNs that price them. A server in the same metro makes the round trip measurable in fractions of a millisecond.
IC Markets runs its MT4 and MT5 servers in NY4. Axi, Global Prime, GO Markets and OANDA's US servers name New York too, and FP Markets and Vantage have New York as one of their two hubs.
From a MassiveGRID New York server, brokers with infrastructure in New York are under 1 ms away. That is the difference between a stop order filling at its price and filling after the spike.
The London and New York overlap from 13:00 to 17:00 GMT carries the heaviest volume of the day, and US data releases at 13:30 GMT move everything. An EA in New York gets those ticks first.
Your own location only matters for the Remote Desktop session. From anywhere in the United States, Canada or Latin America, the New York server feels like a local machine when you log in to adjust charts.
Every New York Forex VPS runs on a Proxmox HA cluster. If a node fails, the VM restarts on a healthy one within seconds from NVMe storage replicated three times. No single point of failure.
Administrator access over RDP. Install the exact MT4, MT5 or cTrader build your broker distributes, Trader Workstation for Interactive Brokers, your indicators and copiers. Nothing is locked down.
These brokers state on their own websites, help centres or press releases that their trading infrastructure is in New York, in most cases in the Equinix NY4 building in Secaucus, New Jersey, where the forex ECNs and the big banks' pricing engines also sit. A New York VPS is the natural choice for an account with any of them.

| Vantage | MT4, MT5 | New York and London primary hubs |
| Axi | MT4, MT5 | All servers in Equinix NY4, New York |

Two New York-specific notes. IC Markets splits its platforms: MetaTrader is in New York, cTrader is in London, so an IC Markets cTrader account belongs on the London server. And Interactive Brokers assigns each account to a region; a US-opened account is normally on America-East, which the Interactive Brokers guide explains how to confirm inside Trader Workstation.
Locations are taken from each broker's own website, help centre or press releases, checked in October 2026 and listed with their sources in our broker reference. Brokers move servers and some host different platforms or entities in different cities, so confirm the server name and ping in your platform's login dialog before you order. If your broker is not here, ask our support team in chat.
Traders with a broker on the list above. The server's job is to sit next to the trade server, and that is the whole decision. A trader in Sydney with an IC Markets MT4 account belongs in New York, where the trade server is, not in Singapore, which is nearer home.
US, Canadian and Latin American traders whose broker is not listed. If your broker publishes no location, measure it. The MetaTrader login dialog shows the ping to every server your broker offers; the cTrader status bar shows the same. A reading under 10 ms from a machine on the US east coast almost always means New York. The New York VPS guide walks through the check.
Anyone trading US data releases. Non-farm payrolls, CPI and FOMC decisions hit the market at 08:30 and 14:00 New York time, and the first second after a release is where news EAs make or lose their month. A server in the same metro as the broker gets the tick and the fill with the least possible delay; the latency guide shows what a few milliseconds cost on those bars.
Need dedicated cores for a news or scalping EA? Switch the configurator below to Forex VPS Pro, which adds dedicated CPU, a 10 Gbps port and a Windows Server licence; the dedicated versus shared guide explains when it is worth it.
