TradingView VPS
TradingView VPS —
what it can and cannot do.
TradingView runs its alerts on its own servers, so a VPS will not keep them alive — they already are. What a VPS is for is the desktop app, and anything that has to receive a webhook and act on it.
- Desktop app installed, Chrome and Edge ready
- 42 cities — pick the one nearest your broker
- Windows Server licence included
Will a VPS keep my alerts running?
Your alerts fire whether your computer is on or not — that is TradingView's doing, not ours. A VPS earns its place when something has to listen for those alerts and place the trade.
One gigabyte,
one window.
The desktop app is a browser with a chart in it, and it behaves like one: a couple of hundred megabytes at rest, considerably more with a dozen charts and a replay running. A gigabyte per window is the rule, same as everywhere else.
One window with a handful of charts fits a gigabyte. Add a webhook receiver or a bridge and count it as another.
This is the one platform where more memory rarely helps. If you are running a single chart layout and a webhook script, the smallest plan is genuinely enough — we would rather tell you that than sell you a bigger one.
Which one holds
your terminals.
Straight from the rule. If it turns out wrong we move you up free of charge — you will not be asked to buy a second month to find out.
The High Frequency plan holds the same three as the Best. What you pay the difference for is clock speed — a Ryzen 9 at 5.7 GHz rather than an EPYC core — which matters for a scalping EA and not at all for a swing strategy.
Two jobs, and only
one of them is yours.
Worth being clear about this before you buy, because the wrong expectation here is the most common refund we deal with.
TradingView’s servers
already always on
- Alerts fire whether your computer is on or off
- Screeners and scans run on their infrastructure
- Strategy alerts from Pine Script are sent from their end
- None of this needs a VPS, and a VPS cannot make it faster
Your VPS
1 GB a window
- Receives webhooks and places the trade, day or night
- Runs the desktop app with your layouts always open
- Runs a bridge to MT4, MT5 or a broker API
- Keeps a paid data feed or a scanner script running
A VPS does not keep
your alerts running.
They already run, on TradingView’s side
This is the thing people get wrong most often, and it is worth saying plainly: TradingView alerts fire from TradingView’s servers. Close your laptop, unplug it, throw it in a river — the alert still fires.
So if your only need is “I want my alerts to keep working when my PC is off”, you do not need a VPS and we would rather you kept the money. Nothing we rent you will make that work better than it already does.
What a VPS is genuinely for
The gap is on the receiving end. An alert can send a webhook, but something has to be listening when it arrives — a script, a bridge, a broker API client. That listener has to be running twenty-four hours a day on a machine with a stable address, and that is exactly what a VPS is.
The same applies to any bridge between TradingView and a MetaTrader terminal. The signal comes from their servers; the thing that turns it into an order runs on yours.
And there is the desktop app: layouts open, replay loaded, a second monitor's worth of charts you would rather not rebuild every morning. That is a smaller reason, but a real one.
Pine Script does not execute trades
A Pine strategy can tell you what it would have done. It cannot place the order — TradingView is a charting platform with broker integrations, not an execution engine, and Pine has no way to reach an account directly.
Anything automated therefore runs through a webhook to something you control. If you have seen a service advertising “fully automated TradingView trading”, that is what it is doing underneath, and running it yourself on a VPS costs less and keeps your keys in your hands.
The connection matters more than the machine
A webhook receiver does almost no work. What matters is that it is reachable, that it does not go down, and that it sits close to the broker it will be talking to rather than close to TradingView.
Our broker pages carry the measured latency from each of our cities to each broker's servers. For this use, that figure is the one to choose on — the size of the plan barely matters.
Pick the city your broker sits in.
Not the one you live in. Your remote desktop session does not need to be fast; your orders do.
Any of them can be chosen at checkout, and changed later free of charge once a month. See what each broker answers in →

Platform compatibility
MT4 and MT5 are installed for you on request. The rest take a couple of minutes — you have full Administrator access to the machine.
