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.
Technical runtime environment
A stable
operating environment
for NinjaTrader 8.
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.

VPS Basics
What a trading VPS provides — and where its role ends.
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.
Dedicated Windows VPS
NinjaTrader and GoldAutoTradePRO run separately from the personal workstation in an environment accessible via Remote Desktop. This supports monitoring, maintenance and a clearly defined operating process.
Requirements
What matters in a trading VPS.
The decisive factor is not a single marketing metric but the combination of Windows compatibility, performance headroom, stable connectivity and controllable administration.
Windows and resources
Sufficient RAM, CPU performance and SSD storage for NinjaTrader, market data, logs and stable remote operation.
Connectivity and location
A stable route to the data feed and broker matters more than isolated latency claims. The server location should fit the actual order path.
Security and maintenance
Protected credentials, defined update windows, controlled restarts and a traceable user configuration.
Time and session operation
Correct timezone, time synchronisation, active contract and clearly configured trading hours.
Runtime architecture
Platform, data and order route as one operating chain.
The runtime architecture shows how market data, platform, trading logic and broker connection interact technically.

Recommended operating base
VPS and platform access within one clear onboarding path.
Productive deployment is designed around two external components: a suitable Windows VPS environment and controlled licence activation within NinjaTrader.
Contabo Windows VPS
The website is prepared for a Contabo partner integration through the AWIN programme. The recommended plan will be selected from the final resource requirements and connected with the personal tracking link.

AWIN link will be added before launch.
Affiliate notice: Once the AWIN partner link is activated, GoldAutoTradePRO may receive a commission from a booking. This does not create additional cost for the user.
NinjaTrader 8 + Vendor Licensing
GoldAutoTradePRO is delivered as a licensed NinjaTrader add-on. Once access has been approved, the product licence is assigned to the authorised user through NinjaTrader Vendor Licensing.

The final licensing and onboarding workflow will be connected to the approved vendor data and product identifiers before public launch.
Next step
Prepare the technical environment and product access together.
The access request captures NinjaTrader experience, available MGC data feed and planned operating environment. This provides the basis for structured VPS, licensing and installation preparation.
