Trading proxy in Singapore
The short answer
Yes, our trading proxy has a server in Singapore. Choose Singapore as your broker’s city if your broker’s trade server sits in Singapore. Your platform connects to our nearest server, and our Singapore server recovers lost data inside Singapore.
Choose Singapore as your broker’s city if your broker’s trade server is there.
We have a server in Singapore. 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 Singapore 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 Singapore, you connect to that same server.
Our server in Singapore 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 Singapore makes a separate local connection to your broker. If data drops on that local link, our server recovers it inside Singapore. Trading ports go first when a server is busy, and dead sockets are cleared fast.
Our server also keeps its waiting line for unsent data short, so your new order doesn’t queue behind older data.
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 Singapore 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 Singapore, your broker in Hong Kong is about 2,590 km away in a straight line. An order then needs at least 26 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 10,850 km away, the minimum is 108 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 Singapore. 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 Singapore 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 Singapore as your broker’s city
Open your dashboard and go to Connect. Under Your broker’s city, press Change your broker’s city. Choose Singapore, then press Use Singapore.
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 Singapore 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.
Notices about your city and the server you use appear when you open your dashboard. Check them before a busy session.
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 Singapore to use the Singapore server?
No. Choose Singapore 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 Singapore shorten the distance to my broker?
No. Distance sets the minimum, and no software beats it. Our server in Singapore opens a separate local connection to your broker so dropped data recovers inside Singapore. Dead connections are also cleared fast so your platform can reconnect.
Is Traders Proxy a VPS in Singapore?
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.
Manual trading on a Windows VPS adds a remote-desktop step that 0 ms hides
“a trader has a trading robot developed by his or her efforts or ordered from programmers; a trader has an Expert Advisor purchased from the Market; a trader has subscribed to a Signal. All these cases require constant connection to a trade server and uninterrupted power supply.”
How local trading avoids it. Your platform stays on your own computer and monitors, so clicks and hotkeys never wait on a remote-desktop window.
- Platform stays on your own computerPrimary
Where it stops. We add a step between your computer and your broker, and we do not promise lower ping. Distance between you and your broker still counts.
A full-tunnel VPN conflicts with MetaTrader or drops
“Since 2 days, all my metatraders 4 (macos, ios and windows 11) stop to connect to trading accounts unless I deactivate my ExpressVPN. I have been working with MT4 + ExpressVPN seamlessly during 3 years and since 2 days it just does not work anymore.”
How local trading avoids it. Only the trading app you set up uses Traders Proxy. Everything else stays on your normal internet.
- Only the app you set up is routedPrimary
Where it stops. A system-wide or browser proxy routes more. If you keep a full VPN switched on as well, we haven't tested the two together.
Firm location rules and copier address checks when using a proxy
“The use of VPN/VPS is also generally allowed.”
Why a proxy can backfire here. Your broker sees one steady address, our server’s. If your trading firm restricts where you log in from, check its rules first.
Where it stops. Your broker or firm sees our server’s shared address. Check your firm’s rules before connecting, and do not use a proxy if it is forbidden.
