Local Windows PC
Direct access without an additional server environment. Uptime and accessibility depend on power, internet connectivity, restarts and concurrent use of the device.
GoldAutoTradePRO runs in a dedicated Windows environment. NinjaTrader 8, market data, strategy execution and monitoring therefore remain accessible independently of a personal workstation and are clearly separated from it.
The operating environment combines platform, data feed, licence status and broker connection in one controllable setup. Remote access, defined maintenance procedures and continuous status checks provide the technical foundation for controlled live operation.
A VPS moves the ongoing trading operation to a continuously accessible Windows environment. It creates clear technical responsibilities but does not replace a correctly configured platform or the trading logic itself.
Direct access without an additional server environment. Uptime and accessibility depend on power, internet connectivity, restarts and concurrent use of the device.
NinjaTrader and GoldAutoTradePRO run separately from the private computer in an always-available Windows environment. On Windows, remote access is typically handled through Remote Desktop (RDP); on macOS, iPhone and iPad, Microsoft Windows App can be used to connect to the remote PC.
The decisive factor is not a single marketing metric but the combination of Windows compatibility, performance headroom, stable connectivity and controllable administration.
Sufficient RAM, CPU performance and SSD storage for NinjaTrader, market data, logs and stable remote operation.
A stable route to the data feed and broker matters more than isolated latency claims. The server location should fit the actual order path.

Correct timezone, time synchronisation, active contract and clearly configured trading hours.

Contabo is our tested VPS recommendation; NinjaTrader 8 remains the platform for GoldAutoTradePRO. Product access and VPS selection remain separate decisions.
Tested reference for an always-accessible Windows environment. The existing setup used a profile with 6 vCPU, 12 GB RAM and NVMe storage; the provider remains optional.
