The details behind every value on the plan cards. Hover or tap a value on a card for the same details.
A starting point for active charts or automated strategies, not a limit.
A starting point for prop-firm accounts on compatible trading platforms, not an account limit.
Check each firm's rules on automation, trade copiers and account access. Platform permissions and software licenses are separate.
Estimated 0–2ms from New York to IBKR. Estimated under 1ms from New York (NY4) to NASDAQ.
Stocks, options, and NY4-hosted FX brokers. From New York, Dedicated and Dedicated+ servers run on the NY4 campus and reach NYSE and NASDAQ in under 1ms. VPS plans: 0–2ms to IBKR.
Performance plans are 85% faster per thread, the speed charting and order-entry platforms feel most. Charting and order-entry platforms run mostly on one or two threads, so a faster thread keeps charts and the DOM responsive.
A workload estimate, not a limit. Platforms, charts and market data share the memory, so leave headroom for busy sessions.
Room for the operating system, your platforms, market data and files.
The operating system and installed software use part of it. Choose a larger plan to keep more data.
Recommended for Interactive Brokers: Windows.
Windows suits desktop platforms such as NinjaTrader and MetaTrader. Ubuntu suits Linux bots, APIs and Docker.
Speed is how much data moves at once, not order latency.
Latency is how long one message waits. Actual throughput depends on the network route and workload.
Spread charts across the screens of your own computer in one Remote Desktop session, up to the number each plan lists.
Tick "Use all my monitors" in Remote Desktop before you connect.
The typical time from purchase until your VPS is ready.
An extra recovery point for your VPS, at no extra cost. RAID1 mirrors data across drives to protect against a single drive failure.
Keep separate copies of important trading files as well. RAID1 is not a backup. It does not protect against deletion or data corruption.
Alerts when your platform or data feed stops. Free on every plan during the beta.
Agents you can install: Claude Code (Linux), Codex (Linux), OpenCode (Linux), Hermes (Linux), OpenClaw (Linux), Cursor CLI (Windows or Linux), AutoGPT (Linux), n8n (Linux), LM Studio (Windows), Gemini CLI (Linux).
Agents run on your plan's CPU, memory and storage with your own API keys. Local models need more memory. Your own MCP servers and the QuantVPS REST API work too. Unsure which agent to use? Our team helps you set it up at no charge.

Workflow stage
The complete workflow behind this stage
Use the server address and credentials in your control panel with Remote Desktop on Windows or Windows App on Mac.
Use TWS for a desktop workspace, or install IB Gateway for a compatible API workflow. Sign in with the intended paper or live account.
Configure API access only where needed, restrict permitted connections, and verify market-data subscriptions and order behavior.
Close the remote connection, not the application or Windows session. Apps can keep running while the VPS is on. Monitor reconnects, account sessions, and scheduled maintenance.
Choose resources for either the TWS desktop workspace or the lighter gateway plus your strategy process. Account for periodic authentication and scheduled restarts rather than assuming a permanent session. Compare connectivity to your actual IBKR endpoint and test with a paper account first.
Trader Workstation arrives installed on Windows Server 2025 or 2022, ready for your Interactive Brokers login. Choose from 40+ Windows platform templates at checkout.

Ready to log in
Windows Server 2025 is standard on Dedicated servers and available on VPS plans.
Your Interactive Brokers VPS is typically deployed and ready in under 60 seconds after purchase, reachable over Remote Desktop. Dedicated servers take 30–120 minutes.
US stocks trade 9:30 AM to 4 PM New York time, with pre-market from 4 AM and after-hours until 8 PM. Between your Remote Desktop check-ins, your VPS stays online with Trader Workstation open, market data keeps flowing and your strategies keep running.
Regular hours in New York time (ET); holidays and early closes vary. Check-ins are illustrative.

Trader Workstation's Account Window shows seven sample accounts.
These accounts, prices and profits are simulated, not real results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss, and simulated results do not guarantee future results.
Interactive Brokers and Trader Workstation are trademarks of their respective owners. QuantVPS is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Interactive Brokers LLC, or any of its affiliates.
IB Gateway connects compatible API trading bots without the full Trader Workstation desktop. Run the gateway and your API client together on your VPS. Enable only the API permissions you need. Test the connection with your paper account before you use live orders.
Your VPS remains available through IBKR’s scheduled restart, but broker login, reauthentication and two-factor requirements still apply. Do not assume automatic login or an indefinitely authenticated session. Monitor connection state and reconcile positions after reconnecting before resending orders.
Trader Workstationon your VPS in New YorkSession livePre-installed + optimized
Choose IBKR at checkout and your VPS arrives with Trader Workstation installed on a Windows build tuned for trading, with resources reserved so TWS stays responsive from the first login. Prefer IB Gateway for automated trading? Install it on the same machine and sign in with your IBKR account.
Your home-to-VPS connection affects how responsive the remote desktop feels. The VPS-to-venue connection is the separate path your trading software uses.

Backups
TWS layouts, watchlists, hotkeys, API configurations, and your strategy code take hours to reconstruct after a disk failure or a bad update. On every VPS plan, automatic off-site backups capture your entire IBKR VPS, so a restore takes minutes instead of an afternoon. Dedicated plans add RAID1 storage, so a single drive failure never touches your setup.
Remote Desktop on Windows
Access
Keep Trader Workstation or IB Gateway and your automated strategies on the VPS, so they do not depend on your home computer staying awake. Connect through Remote Desktop from a laptop, phone, or iPad to check positions and manage your setup. Disconnecting Remote Desktop leaves the applications open. IBKR's login, restart, and reauthentication requirements still apply.
