Trading proxy in New York
The short answer
Yes, our trading proxy has a server in New York. Choose New York as your broker’s city if your broker’s trade server sits in New York. Your platform connects to our nearest server, and our New York server recovers lost data inside New York.
Choose New York as your broker’s city if your broker’s trade server is there.
We have a server in New York. You connect to our server nearest you, and you choose your broker’s city in your dashboard. The software on our servers is our own, so no one else’s proxy sits between you and your broker.
Choose New York if your broker’s trade server is there. The server your platform logs in to when you place an order. That city matters most, because our help is on our server’s connection to your broker. If you also trade near New York, you connect to that same server.
Note. Brokers’ own pages don’t always say where your account is.
On a page we read on 29 September 2026, IC Markets states New York for its MetaTrader 4 and 5 servers. If that is your broker, New York is likely your broker’s city, but a web page is not a promise. Ask your broker’s support.
Our server in New York connects locally and recovers lost data there.
Our server’s city matters when the internet loses part of your order. When you click Buy, your order crosses the internet to your broker as small pieces of data.
Sometimes the internet loses a piece. Your computer waits, then sends it again, all the way to your broker. If that copy is lost too, it waits twice as long.
Everything sent after it waits as well. In a busy moment, this is what delays price updates and holds up your next order.
Our server in New York makes a separate local connection to your broker. If data drops on that local link, our server recovers it inside New York. Trading ports go first when a server is busy, and dead sockets are cleared fast.
Our server also sends your order out as soon as it arrives. It isn’t held back to bundle with other data, which is how standard settings can delay a small order.
Note. Our help covers one connection and doesn’t shorten the distance.
Your connection to our nearest server runs over your own internet, which we don’t change. Our help is on the link between our server and your broker.
If your broker is in another city, pick that city instead.
You can trade from New York and still pick any city on our list as your broker’s city. The distance to your broker sets the shortest time an order can take.
If you trade from New York, your broker in Toronto is about 550 km away in a straight line. An order then needs at least 5 milliseconds to reach your broker and get an answer back. No proxy, VPS or internet plan can beat that.
For a broker in London, about 5,570 km away, the minimum is 56 milliseconds. A longer path to your broker means a longer wait whenever your computer recovers lost data.
Select your broker’s city so lost data near your broker is recovered inside that city, not from New York. Your data still travels the whole way, so the distance floor stays the same. Paid plans never share servers with free accounts.
If your broker’s trade server is in a city we don’t list, we have no server there. Traders Proxy is then a weaker fit.
Three steps set you up, with nothing to install.
These steps send your platform’s connection to your broker through our New York server.
- 01
Find your broker’s city
Open your platform’s login window. It shows the name of the server your account is on, but the name does not always say the city. Ask your broker’s support which city that server is in.
Our server location guide shows how to check.
- 02
Choose New York as your broker’s city
Open your dashboard and go to Connect. Under Your broker’s city, press Change your broker’s city. Choose New York, then press Use New York.
Your four values point to the server you connect to, so this choice never changes them. If that server isn’t the city nearest you, press Change the server you connect to first. That one changes the Server value.
- 03
Copy four values into your platform
Under Your values for your platform, copy the server, port, login and password into your platform’s proxy setting. Restart the platform so it connects through our servers.
The login and password are your Traders Proxy ones, not your broker’s, so we never ask for your broker login. Your broker sees the address of our New York server.
If you picked the wrong broker’s city, change it any time, and your four values stay the same. Restart your platform to use the new city straight away. We never move you to a different city without asking.
You can see whether it helps before you rely on it.
Time how long your platform takes to connect and show live prices, once without us and once with us. Our connection check shows how.
If the two times match, you don’t need us. The problem shows up in busy sessions, so the best time to compare is a big news release. Most weeks bring one.
Know these five limits before you pay.
- It does not change your ping, the time data takes there and back. We don’t promise lower ping. Distance sets the minimum. Be wary of anyone who promises it.
- It does not change your own internet. The connection from you to our server is only as good as your internet, so a weak Wi-Fi signal stays weak.
- It does not touch anything outside your trading app. Only the trading app you set up uses Traders Proxy. Everything else stays on your normal internet, so your plan’s data goes on trading.
- It does not change your broker’s rules. If your broker prohibits proxies, don’t use one. Check your broker’s terms before you start.
- It does not keep a platform running with your computer off. If an expert advisor must run while your computer is off, you need a VPS. See proxy or VPS compared.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be in New York to use the New York server?
No. Choose New York as your broker’s city if your broker’s trade server is there. You connect to our server nearest you, wherever you trade from.
Does a server in New York shorten the distance to my broker?
No. Distance sets the minimum, and no software beats it. Our server in New York opens a separate local connection to your broker so dropped data recovers inside New York. Dead connections are also cleared fast so your platform can reconnect.
Is Traders Proxy a VPS in New York?
No. A VPS moves your whole platform to another computer. We leave your platform where it is and only change where it connects. An expert advisor (EA) that must run while your computer is off needs a trading VPS.
Does my broker allow a proxy?
Check your broker’s terms. If your broker prohibits proxies, don’t use one. Traders Proxy doesn’t change what your broker allows.
Do I get my own IP address?
No. Your broker sees one steady address. That of our server in your broker’s city, shared with other Traders Proxy customers. It changes if you change your broker’s city or we replace a server.
What if it doesn’t help me?
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. Stop renewal in your dashboard before your renewal date to keep your paid period. This doesn’t affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Real forum reports, what our system does, and where it stops.
Every quote below links to the forum thread or vendor guide where it appeared. Underneath each quote, see which parts of our system work together on it and where our server stops.
A firewall, router or ISP drops the platform's broker connection but lets ordinary web traffic through
“Access to 443 ports is usually available in proxy servers.”
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.
- Built-in
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.
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.

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.
cTrader picks a far or 'wrong' Spotware proxy and the trader cannot choose (Sydney-3, Netherlands, Jakarta-2, London-6 from Korea)
“cTrader automatically connects to the fastest one, you do not need to do this manually.”
Why a proxy can backfire here. cTrader for Windows has a proxy setting and Traders Proxy supports it over HTTP. cTrader still chooses its own servers.
- Built-in
HTTPproxy loginBoundary
Where it stops. In cTrader on Windows, the Connection proxy setting routes your connection to Spotware’s cloud. Spotware still picks its own cloud node on the far side.
Shared server address where a broker block affects every account on that server
“There are some vps providers that are actively blocked due to suspicious activies happening by the providers in past.”
Why a proxy can backfire here. Your broker sees one steady address, our server’s, shared by people on a Traders Proxy plan in that city.
- One steady addressBoundary
- City switchingSupporting
Where it stops. Our server address is shared by people on a Traders Proxy plan in that city. Switch city in your dashboard if a broker blocks that address.
