This is a workload estimate, not an account limit. Charts, indicators, market data, and copy-trading or automation software affect capacity; separate platform instances need more resources. Chart and account ranges are not simultaneous maximums.
Check each firm's rules on automation, trade copiers, and account access. Platform permissions and software licenses are separate.
Our sizing guidance is based on audited analysis of more than 25,000 VPS performance support tickets and user-tested setups.

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.
Install or open thinkorswim and sign in, choosing paperMoney or your live account as intended.
Restore your workspace, verify quote permissions, and check scanner and thinkScript behavior with the server resources available.
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.
Allow memory for multiple charts, options chains, and scans, and measure CPU usage with your real studies loaded. Desktop studies are not a blanket permission for automated trading. Check the capabilities and policies of the platform before adding third-party execution tools.
Thinkorswim arrives installed on Windows Server 2025 or 2022, ready to log in. 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 Thinkorswim 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 Thinkorswim 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.

Backups
Custom studies, thinkScript indicators, watchlists, scans, and grid layouts take hours to rebuild. Our automated backup system safeguards your entire Thinkorswim VPS environment, so a failure means a quick restore rather than reconstructing your workspace.
Remote Desktop on Windows
Access
Thinkorswim is a heavy desktop platform that most laptops struggle to keep open all day. On your VPS it stays running with every chart, scan, and option chain loaded. Our web control panel and included RDP access let you log in from any device. Manage positions, adjust orders, or run a study without touching your home machine.
