PowerLanguage and .NET strategies fire orders only while MultiCharts is open and connected. On a VPS the app runs through the night and across every session, so nothing stops when your laptop sleeps.
Portfolio backtesting, walk-forward and genetic optimization use every core, for as long as they take. Launch a big run on the VPS and let it finish on Chicago hardware while your own PC stays free.
One honest caveat: whether your resting orders survive a disconnect is up to the broker you chose, not MultiCharts. Some hold your brackets server-side; others rely on the platform being up. A VPS is not a blanket guarantee for your orders. What it reliably protects is the work on the machine: your automation, your data and your optimization runs.
Run classic MultiCharts with PowerLanguage, or MultiCharts .NET with C#, VB.NET or Python and full Visual Studio debugging. Full Windows Server means either runs exactly as it does locally.
MultiCharts separates the two on purpose. Plug in your own data provider and your own broker independently, from the 20-plus feeds and dozens of brokers it supports.
Tick-by-tick backtesting, Bar Magnifier and portfolio testing lean on cores and memory. Current-generation Ryzen silicon and DDR5 keep long runs moving.
300-plus studies, Renko, Kagi, Point and Figure, Market Profile and a real-time Market Scanner across many symbols all redraw smoothly through a volatile open.
Chicago-metro hosting sits a short network hop from CME's Aurora data center. Whatever feed and broker you run, measure the round-trip from your own setup and judge it yourself.
Redundant power and networking, network-level DDoS mitigation, and a 99.999% uptime target you can check against our public status page.
MultiCharts connects to 20-plus data feeds and dozens of brokers, chosen independently. Setups and symbols change, so confirm the current options in MultiCharts' own documentation.
