    Trading & access

    6 included
    • Run trading platforms compatible with your chosen Windows or Linux system. Platform licenses and market-data subscriptions are separate, and available CPU and RAM determine how much you can run at once.
    • No plan-imposed limit on exchange connections through your trading software. Exchange permissions, data subscriptions, platform limits, and available server resources still apply.
    • No plan-imposed cap on API connections for your trading tools. Broker and API rate limits, account permissions, and available server resources still apply.
    • Run AI agents, compatible runtimes, and your own MCP servers on your VPS. These workloads use your plan’s included CPU, memory, and storage; connect your own APIs and tools.
    • Administrator access on Windows or root access on Linux lets you install compatible platforms, indicators, and tools, and manage your server settings.
    • Run compatible trade copiers such as Replikanto and ETP. Software licenses are separate, and the number of accounts you can copy depends on your software and server resources.

    Network & protection

    5 included
    • New York is this page's default location; you can choose another on the plan card. Actual latency depends on your broker, data feed, and network route; the latency row shows the estimate for the selected location.
    • Your server has its own IP address for remote access and connecting trading tools. You can use it with services that support IP allowlisting.
    • Always-on DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) protection with advanced traffic filtering, plus firewalls and intrusion detection.
    • Server protection complements network DDoS filtering. You should still keep your operating system and trading software updated and protect your account credentials; no protection eliminates every security risk.
    • Traffic is not billed per gigabyte. Connection speed depends on your plan and location; unmetered bandwidth does not mean unlimited network speed.

Run IC Markets trading terminals on a VPS

  1. Connect to your Windows VPS

    Use the server address and credentials in your control panel with Remote Desktop on Windows or Windows App on Mac.

  2. Install your account-compatible terminal

    Use the official terminal or client supplied for your IC Markets entity and account type.

  3. Connect and test automation

    Select the assigned broker server, confirm account access, and test permitted EAs or cBots in demo before live trading.

  4. Disconnect without signing out

    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.

What is a VPS for IC Markets?

An IC Markets VPS runs a supported trading terminal connected to your IC Markets account. The broker is not installed on the server: your MT4, MT5, cTrader, or other authorized client is. Available platforms and automation permissions depend on your entity and account.

Choosing the best VPS for IC Markets

Choose the terminal your account supports and size for its EAs, cBots, and chart workload. Compare the route to the assigned broker server rather than the brand name alone. Broker credentials, platform licenses, and strategy permissions remain separate from hosting.

MT4, MT5 and cTrader Expert Advisors, 0–10ms from IC Markets' ECN servers.

Keep your IC Markets trading platform and Expert Advisors on the VPS when your local computer disconnects. Choose the location around your broker gateway for the published 0–10ms forex route. Use the platform and automation features supported by your account, then test the connection before live trading.

Performance Hardware

What changes when your IC Markets trading runs on QuantVPS.

Three things change when your IC Markets trading moves off your desk: where your orders start, how it holds up in a fast market, and the hardware under it.
Simulated broker quotes. The same buy order travels over two example routes.

Execution

Keep Raw Spreads Raw: Execute IC Markets Orders at the Price You See. Optimized low-latency routing.

You chose IC Markets for Raw Spread pricing, and every millisecond between your terminal and their servers gives that spread room to widen before your order lands. Our New York IC Markets VPS delivers 0-10ms latency to IC Markets' trading servers, so your MT4, MT5, or cTrader orders fill closer to the quote you acted on. For scalpers and high-frequency EAs, that is the difference between the spread you were promised and the spread you actually pay.

Volatility

Stay Connected Through NFP and FOMC: No Dropped Trades on Your IC Markets Account. Stable through market volatility.

ECN pricing gets fastest and thinnest during major releases, which is exactly when a home PC or consumer broadband tends to fail. A dedicated IC Markets VPS keeps your terminals and EAs running on enterprise hardware with 99.999% uptime. We host it in top-tier datacenters with redundant power and network and a 24/7 on-site engineering team. Orders, stops, and trailing logic execute through the spike instead of hanging.

Questions & Answers

IC Markets VPS FAQ.

IC Markets questions, answered
Sound familiar?5 common ones

Ever missed a setup because you were away from your desk?

Market data keeps flowing and your strategies keep running.

If any of these sound familiar, a trading VPS is the fix.

Use the MT4, MT5, or cTrader application assigned to your account. Those accounts and automation formats differ. Install the matching client and verify the exact trade-server name rather than choosing only by broker brand.

Identify the server assigned to the specific account and compare its connection from each region. IC Markets entity and platform arrangements can differ; do not infer the best VPS location solely from headquarters or marketing.

Not directly. MT4 EAs and cTrader cBots use different environments. Use a compatible implementation and verify order behavior and account permissions before treating the strategies as equivalent.

Your account’s spreads, commissions, and execution conditions remain broker-controlled. Hosting changes where your terminal runs, not the account agreement. Include the existing cost model when testing your strategy remotely.

Include each terminal, EA, chart history, and any copier process. Separate installations clearly and benchmark during active FX sessions. More accounts do not have a universal resource requirement.

No. Your trading account and any broker-sponsored VPS arrangement are separate from a QuantVPS subscription. Confirm eligibility and reimbursement terms directly with the broker rather than assuming one hosting purchase activates another program.
