Is Traders Proxy a scam? See exactly what you buy.
The short answer
Traders Proxy is not a scam because we never hold your funds or broker passwords. You pay through Stripe or crypto and cancel renewal in three clicks from your dashboard. If your platform can’t connect through us and support can’t fix it, we refund your first payment.
What your subscription buys
You buy a monthly routing subscription, and nothing installs on your machine. You paste four connection values into your desktop terminal. Your platform traffic then routes directly through our server in your broker city.
It works with any trading platform that has a proxy setting. MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), TradingView Desktop and Optuma are examples. Each platform maker decides which connections use that setting.
Orders travel to your broker across long internet paths. If an intermediate network hop drops a packet, your trading terminal retransmits it from across the world. That retransmission delay causes chart freezes and execution slip.
Data lost on our server connection to your broker is recovered inside that same financial metro. Our custom Go software gives priority to trading traffic whenever network queues fill.
Your broker sees our server IP address instead of your residential connection. Multiple active trading accounts route through that steady datacenter address. Read how the shared address works to understand broker rules.
What Traders Proxy never touches
| Item | Do we get it? | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Your broker login | Never asked for | You type it into your platform as usual, so we cannot sign in to your broker account. We generate a separate trading password for your proxy setting that you can rotate in one click. |
| Your trading money | Never | We accept no customer deposits and execute no trades. Your trading capital remains entirely with your broker. You pay for monthly proxy routing via Stripe or crypto. |
| A say in your trades | Never | We sell no signals, manage no accounts and give no trading advice. Every trading decision remains entirely yours. |
| Your card number | Never | Stripe handles checkout processing, so we never see or store your payment card numbers. |
| What is in your trading traffic | Never recorded | We never record or decrypt the orders and prices your platform sends, so they stay between you and your broker. Read what we can and can’t see for the full security boundaries. |
| Your connection details | Yes | Our server needs your incoming connection address and the requested broker server destination to forward your packets. Internal node reports track only aggregate byte transfer and active device counts. |
| Your email and a dashboard password | Yes | These credentials allow you to sign in to your web portal and cancel renewal without contacting support. |
Your platform proxy setting requires four values including server, port, login and password. All four values belong strictly to Traders Proxy.
Test the connection speed on your own trading terminal
On your first day, test your platform without us and then through our route using our connection check. If execution speeds and connection stability look identical, request a prompt refund.
Ping measures the physical transit time between two endpoints. We do not promise lower ping because physical distance sets the floor.
There are no third-party reviews yet, and we publish no synthetic benchmarks. Our own review outlines three repeatable checks for your desk.
Cancel your renewal anytime in three clicks
You never need to contact support or wait for our reply. Open your dashboard billing settings and stop renewal in three clicks. Your proxy access remains active until your paid period ends, as shown in how to cancel Traders Proxy.
Clear checkout through Stripe or self-hosted crypto
- Pay. Pick a plan and pay on Stripe’s page or generate a crypto invoice. We never see your card number. The confirmation screen presents your one-time link to create your dashboard password.
- Set up. In your dashboard, choose your broker city. Copy the four connection values into your desktop platform proxy settings.
- Check. Run your real execution checks on your own terminal. 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. Read how refunds work.
- Leave anytime. Stop renewal in your dashboard whenever you choose.
Every plan starts at once. Compare the plans and pick the number of devices you need.
Frequently asked questions
Who is behind Traders Proxy?
Jonathan, an active trader using MetaTrader 5, TradingView and Optuma, built the service. Read who runs Traders Proxy for background details, or contact support on our contact page.
Why does a plan need my card?
Paid plans require billing details to activate routing resources. Stripe handles card processing, so we never see or store your payment numbers. You can also pay via crypto or stop renewal anytime in your dashboard.
Does cancelling refund a charge?
Cancelling stops renewals only, per our refund policy. If your platform can’t connect through us and support can’t fix it, we refund your first payment within 7 days on monthly plans or 14 days on yearly plans. This doesn’t affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Will it make me money?
No. Traders Proxy only routes your platform traffic to your broker. We promise no profit, fill rates, or ping targets because network routing cannot fix an underlying trading strategy.
Is my broker account at risk?
Review your broker account terms before connecting. If your broker prohibits proxies, do not use one. Traders Proxy does not override whatever your broker permits.

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.
Broker and firm rules on proxies, VPNs and shared addresses
“Do not use a VPN. VPNs, proxy services, TOR, geo-location obfuscation, and other identity-masking services are not permitted at Topstep.”
Why a proxy can backfire here. Your broker sees our server’s steady address in the city you pick. Check your broker’s or firm’s rules before connecting.
Where it stops. Check your broker’s or firm’s rules before using a proxy. If your broker prohibits proxies or shared addresses, do not use one.
'Old tick' lines in the Journal
“No, it's wrong. EAs don't stop operation when an "OLD TICK" comes. "OLD TICKs" are filtered out and logged in just for information.”
Why a proxy does not change this. Traders Proxy changes the route your platform uses to reach your broker. It doesn't change quotes, fills or what your Journal says.
Where it stops. MetaQuotes staff confirm that Old tick journal entries are filtered out by the terminal and logged for information only.
EAs on several terminals or brokers with one rented terminal per account and a DLL ban
“One rented terminal can work only with one User's trading account.”
Why a proxy does not change this. Traders Proxy is for people who run their platform on their own computer. It does not run robots for you.
Where it stops. Does not run an EA while your computer is off. Not a hosting service.
