MetaTrader 4MetaTrader 5TradingView DesktopOptumacTrader (HTTP proxy)01 · The problem
When one piece of data is lost, everything behind it waits.
Home internet is built for video streaming, where a two-second buffer hides lost data. Live trading has no buffer. Every price tick and market order must arrive in strict sequence.
Lose one packet across an ocean cable, and every new price behind it waits. Your home connection must detect the drop and ask for a resend. If that retry drops too, the wait doubles again while your terminal logs Disconnected.
When you route through our server in your broker’s city, that long link ends at our door. Our server sits in that city and connects directly to your broker. It replaces missing data locally while your platform stays on your screen.

Three facts that decide how long your order waits.
The maths in briefPhysics, not our measurement
01
Your broker’s distance sets a minimum time for every order
Light in a cable travels about 200 km every millisecond. Your order goes there and back, so every 1,000 km adds at least 10 ms.
What it means for youPhysical distance dictates your latency floor. Fibre travel times remain constant regardless of routing tools.
minimum there and back (ms) = distance (km) ÷ 100
02
One lost piece of data makes everything wait
When a packet drops, your platform pauses while requesting a retransmission across the full distance. Consecutive drops double this waiting penalty. Incoming price ticks stall during the exact seconds volatility peaks.
wait 1× → 2× → 4× → 8×
03
Our server in your broker’s city recovers lost data locally
Our server in your broker’s city opens the final connection to your broker. On a quiet connection, a repeat loss doesn’t double the wait.
What it means for youWhen a piece is lost near your broker, our server recovers lost data inside that city instead of from your computer.
distance set by physics · recovery in your broker’s city is ours
We don’t promise lower ping because distance sets the minimum. Local recovery in your broker’s city covers only the connection between our server and your broker. The repeat-loss fix covers the first few tries on a quiet connection, after the first repeat try.
02 · What you get
Tuned for small, urgent orders when the market is busy.
Orders and prices are small, and they can’t wait.
Standard internet settings treat a live order the same as a video download. Our servers in Go tune both connections for small, real-time trading messages.
- 01Small messages, like an order, leave our server as they arrive instead of waiting to be bundled with more data.
- 02We keep unsent data from piling up on both of our server’s connections, so new prices and orders don’t wait behind older data.
- 03On a quiet trading connection, if a piece of data sent again goes missing too, the wait before the next try doesn’t double.
- 04Data and speed limits keep heavy downloaders off the server, and speed updates apply without resetting your open trading connection.
Paid plans never share a server with free accounts
Free accounts are locked to a separate test server. Paid plans run on their own server pools, and two-device, five-device and Founder 50 plans are placed first on premium servers.
Straight back in after a drop
If your home Wi-Fi or hotspot blinks, our server notices quickly, frees the dead connection and lets your device reconnect straight away, even when the server is busy.
Built for busy market-open reconnect surges
When a market move makes many platforms reconnect at once, our server lets the first group straight in and admits the rest in a steady stream.
A separate trading password
You never type your billing login into MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or cTrader. Your dashboard gives you a separate trading password that you can rotate in one click.
We never record or decrypt your trading data
Your trades and account details stay between you and your broker, and we wrote the server software in Go ourselves. Our servers report only totals and device counts. How we built it →

Why let your internet provider pick the whole path to your broker?
Without us, your internet provider picks the whole path to your broker. A piece lost anywhere on it must be replaced across the whole distance.
With us, your data still goes through your internet provider to our server near you. A piece lost on that connection is replaced between you and that nearby server.
Our server near you and our server in your broker’s city keep their own connection. Any piece lost between them is replaced by our servers, not from your computer.
On hotel Wi-Fi, a phone hotspot or a poor path to your broker, prices may stream more steadily. Your platform may drop less often too.

05 · Compare with a VPS
Why trade inside a remote desktop window? Keep your own screen.
Keep your charts, your hotkeys and your monitors. If an expert advisor has to run while your computer is off, a VPS is the right tool, and we’ll say so.
Stop-loss and take-profit orders sit on your broker’s server, so they work with your computer off either way. Expert advisors and trailing stops need your platform running.

MetaTrader 4 & 5Solves
A firewall, router or ISP drops the platform's broker connection but lets ordinary web traffic through
“The MT5 trading server mt5.metaquotes.net runs on port 1950. We have closed all the "left" ports at our company, including port 1950.”
How our system handles it. Your platform connects to our server through its built-in SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy setting, and our server opens the broker connection from inside the datacenter.

SOCKS5loginPrimary - Own separate connection to your brokerPrimary
- Unanswered broker server gives up fast and reportsSupporting
Where it stops. Works only if your network still lets you reach our server. We cannot repair a faulty home router or an ISP outage.

MetaTrader will not connect from the home network or SIM while the web, ping and other networks work
“i get the same issue on another system on the same internet connection (wifi vs cabel). however, if i switch the isp (troubleshooting with mobile data actually) it seems to connect”
How our system handles it. Your platform connects to our server through its built-in proxy setting, and our server opens the broker connection from inside the datacenter.

- City switchingSupporting
Where it stops. Only if the fault is on the route to your broker, and only if your network lets you reach our server. We can't tell in advance, so try it before paying. It is not a way around a block you are not allowed to cross.
Windows VPS & RoutingAvoids by design
Do you even need a monthly Windows VPS if you trade by hand on your own screen?
“Rent hosting on a long-term basis to get up to 33% discount. Mini 1 month 15 USD per month”
How local trading avoids it. If you trade by hand on your own screen, paste four values into your platform instead of renting and maintaining a remote Windows desktop.
- Platform stays on your own computerPrimary
- Built-in
SOCKS5loginSupporting
Where it stops. If you run a robot while your computer is off, you still need a machine that stays on. On a Mac, you still need a Mac build of your platform.
MetaTrader 4 & 5Avoids by design
Virtual hosting limits with one account per server and no custom DLLs
“One trading account per MQL5 VPS.”
How local trading avoids it. Your platform runs on your own computer with your own charts and custom DLLs. Plans count connected devices, not trading accounts.
- Platform stays on your own computerPrimary
Where it stops. We do not host Expert Advisors. If your computer sleeps or goes offline, your robot stops.
Windows VPS & RoutingAvoids by design
Far from the VPS, every click travels there and back plus video
“Is there no API which you can use instead of running a whole desktop environment? Because now you basically move your mouse in Europe, it sends the signal to the US, moves the mouse in the US, sends the whole video image back to Europe, and with an average of 150ms you're having a minimum round trip time of 300ms, and if you include the big amount of bytes a video feed takes up + decoding that, you're at 500ms.”
How local trading avoids it. With no remote-desktop screen, your click goes to your broker through our server, not to a remote computer and back as video.
- Platform stays on your own computerPrimary
- City switchingSupporting
Where it stops. Distance still sets the minimum. From far away, the trip to our server is still long. We add a step and do not promise lower ping.

09 · Questions
Before you subscribe.
Will it lower my ping?
We don’t promise lower ping because distance sets the minimum. What changes is connection behaviour during busy market moves or packet drops. Our server in your broker’s city sends small orders immediately and replaces lost pieces locally.
What if my platform can’t connect through us?
If your platform can’t connect through us and support can’t fix it, we refund your first payment within 7 days on a monthly plan, or 14 days on a yearly plan or Founder 50. This doesn’t affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Renewals are not refunded, so stop renewal in your dashboard before your renewal date.
Do I get my own IP address?
No. Your broker sees one steady address, our server’s, shared across accounts on a Traders Proxy plan in that city. It changes if you switch city in your dashboard or when we replace a server.
Does it work with my platform?
It works with any platform whose proxy setting takes a login and password. That includes MetaTrader 4 and 5, TradingView Desktop, Optuma and cTrader for Windows. Voice and video calls don’t go through Traders Proxy.
Will my broker mind?
MetaTrader has the proxy setting built in. Some brokers restrict proxies. Check your broker’s terms, and if it prohibits them, don’t use one.
Will it help on hotel Wi-Fi or a poor connection?
It may. A brief reconnect grace covers hotspot switches, and a sign-in grace protects shared hotel networks. Compare a busy session on that network with and without us.
Do I install anything?
No. You enter four values in your platform’s proxy setting. Everything else on your computer is untouched.
Bring your trading route closer to home.
Get set up in under 5 minutes with four values and nothing to install. Connect through our server in your broker’s city, then time your platform with and without us.
