Why TradeStation Belongs on a VPS
TradeStation's strategy automation only works while the desktop platform is open and connected. Close the lid, lose power, or let Windows restart overnight, and automated strategies stop managing positions until you notice.
TradeStation is also demanding: RadarScreen scanning hundreds of symbols, multiple chart windows, and backtests all compete for CPU and memory. A MarginVPS server gives the platform dedicated DDR5 RAM and NVMe storage, on a New York connection close to US equity and options venues.
Which plan does TradeStation actually need?
TradeStation is one of the heaviest retail platforms. Size for the way you use it, not for the minimum it will start on.
| How you use TradeStation | Recommended plan | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A few charts and one automated strategy | Standard (2 vCPU, 4GB) | Leaves headroom for data loading and Windows itself |
| Several workspaces plus RadarScreen on a few hundred symbols | Professional (4 vCPU, 8GB) | RadarScreen recalculates constantly and is CPU-bound |
| Strategy optimization, large watchlists, multiple live strategies | Dedicated Server | Optimization runs benefit from many cores and no neighbours |
| Just checking positions occasionally | Basic (2 vCPU, 2GB) | Works, but we don't recommend it for live automation |
Not sure? Start on Standard. You can upgrade later without reinstalling anything.

Frequently asked questions
Can I run TradeStation strategies automatically on a VPS?
Yes. Install TradeStation desktop on the VPS, enable automation on your strategies, and they keep running after you disconnect from Remote Desktop, 24/7.
Which plan is best for TradeStation?

New York. It gives the shortest route to TradeStation's US infrastructure and to the markets most TradeStation clients trade.

Yes. Connect with Microsoft's Remote Desktop app on macOS, iOS, or Android and you'll see your TradeStation workspace exactly as you left it.
