Interactive Brokers VPS

Interactive Brokers VPS That Keeps Your Bridge Online

Every IBKR bot talks to Interactive Brokers through TWS or IB Gateway, a program running on a machine. When that machine sleeps, your automation stops. A VPS is the always-on machine that keeps the bridge up, with honest setup notes on auto-restart and the weekly login included.

Trading VPS Pricing

Interactive Brokers VPS Pricing

Every plan runs the current-generation AMD Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5 and NVMe. IB Gateway is light, so smaller tiers carry headless API bots comfortably; a full TWS workspace with charts and scanners, or several bots side by side, earns the bigger tiers. Pick the location for what you trade: Chicago for CME futures, London or Amsterdam for European sessions.
Why Interactive Brokers VPS

Your Orders Live At IBKR. Your Bridge Lives On The Machine.

Once you understand where each part of your trading actually lives, the honest case for a VPS is simple. One side is safe without you. The other side is only alive while a machine is running.
When your machine sleeps
Lives at Interactive Brokers
Safe if your machine is off
Held server-side, survives a disconnect.
  • Native order types, working at the exchange
  • Simulated stops and conditionals, held on IBKR's servers
  • Your account, positions and balances
A VPS does not need to protect this.
Lives on your machine
Needs an always-on VPS
Goes dark the moment the machine does.
  • The TWS or IB Gateway bridge itself
  • Every API bot's decision logic and timing
  • Dynamic management and any not-yet-sent orders
  • Third-party platforms bridging through the API
This is what a TradoxVPS plan keeps alive.

The honest part most providers skip: a VPS does not remove IBKR's weekly login. TWS and IB Gateway restart daily, and IBKR invalidates security tokens every Sunday around 1:00 am ET, so the first login of the week needs your approval in IBKR Mobile. What an always-on VPS removes is your machine being the reason the session dies the other six and a half days.

What Drives TradoxVPS

Our commitment to excellence is built on these fundamental principles
Ryzen 9 9950X CPU

Ryzen 9 9950X CPU

Every plan runs AMD’s current-generation Ryzen 9 9950X (Zen 5), boosting up to 5.7 GHz. Trading front ends lean on single-core speed, and we publish real per-plan PassMark scores on our benchmarks page so you can verify it instead of taking our word.

Ultra-Low Latency

We do not stamp a millisecond figure on the page, because a ping is not your order round-trip. Test the path from your own location with our latency checker, then judge us on what you measure.

99.999% Uptime

We target five-nines availability through redundant infrastructure, enterprise hardware, and 24/7 monitoring, and we publish the real history on our status page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this VPS compatible with Interactive Brokers?

Yes. It is a full Windows Server environment, so Trader Workstation, IBKR Desktop and IB Gateway install and run exactly as on a desktop, along with API strategies in Python, Java, C++, C# or VB and any third-party platform that connects through the TWS API.
Because of how the API works. Your strategy never talks to Interactive Brokers directly; it connects through TWS or IB Gateway running locally. That bridge is a program on a machine, so if the machine sleeps or reboots, every bot behind it stops. A VPS keeps the bridge up 24/7.
No, and be skeptical of anyone who implies it does. TWS and IB Gateway restart daily, and IBKR invalidates security tokens every Sunday around 1:00 am ET, so the first login of the week needs your approval in IBKR Mobile. With daily auto-restart configured, that one weekly approval is typically all the manual attention the session needs.
Your submitted orders do not need it. Native order types work at the exchange, and simulated types like many stops and conditionals are held on IBKR’s servers until they trigger, so both survive a disconnect. What a VPS protects is the layer that does depend on the machine: the TWS or Gateway bridge and every bot connected through it.
For pure API bots, IB Gateway is the usual choice: it is lightweight, has no charting interface, and leaves more headroom for your strategies. Run full TWS when you want charts, scanners and manual trading alongside the automation. Both work; many traders keep Gateway running and open TWS on their own machine when needed.
We deliberately do not quote a number, because a ping is not your order round-trip, and IBKR routes orders through its own infrastructure to venues around the world. Pick the VPS city for the markets you trade, run our latency checker from your own location, then verify from the VPS after deploying.
It depends on what you trade. Chicago suits CME futures traders. London and Amsterdam suit European sessions. There is no single right answer for a broker that spans 170-plus markets, which is exactly why we let you measure the path instead of promising one.
Yes. The VPS runs continuously whether or not you are connected, and you reach your desktop through secure Remote Desktop from Windows, macOS, iOS or Android. Close the RDP window rather than logging out and everything keeps running.
No. TradoxVPS is an independent hosting provider. We host platforms and bots that connect to Interactive Brokers, but we are not affiliated with or endorsed by IBKR, and you should confirm platform behavior in IBKR’s own documentation.
