FP Markets VPS (broker-bundled) alternative for traders.
FP Markets VPS (broker-bundled) is a real answer when you need Free for qualifying FP Markets traders — Sydney and London (London) co-location at zero incremental cost for active account holders.
TradersProxy solves a different job. It keeps your existing platform install in place and cleans the TCP path between your app and your broker.
That makes this page useful for the trader asking one simple question: do you need a rented computer, or do you need a cleaner route?
FP Markets VPS (broker-bundled) and TradersProxy solve different problems.
FP Markets VPS (broker-bundled) is built for Free for qualifying FP Markets traders — Sydney and London (London) co-location at zero incremental cost for active account holders. That is useful if your strategy needs off-site execution.
The tradeoff is Broker-locked — restricted to FP Markets accounts, not transferable to other brokers, and still requires Windows VPS management. If your machine is already on and your problem is the route between your platform and your broker, a VPS is the wrong shape.
TradersProxy is a clean network relay for MT4, MT5, cTrader, and Telegram. It adds packet prioritisation, split buffers, and per-connection congestion control without making you babysit a remote Windows machine.
What FP Markets VPS (broker-bundled) is built for
FP Markets VPS (broker-bundled) is a legitimate answer for traders who need a full remote machine. That usually means an EA, a 24/7 process, or a setup that must keep running when your own device is off.
In that job, a VPS is useful. It gives you a Windows environment, remote access, and a place to install your trading platform away from your home computer.
That does not make it the right answer for every trader. It just means the VPS category is solving a real problem.
TradersProxy is aimed at the problem that remains after you already have a working machine: the quality of the network path itself.
Where each fits, and where it doesn't
Pick FP Markets VPS (broker-bundled) if you need your platform to run somewhere else.
- You want an EA to stay online when your computer sleeps.
- You are happy to manage, or pay someone to manage, a Windows box.
- You need the machine itself, not just a cleaner path.
Pick TradersProxy if the machine is already there and the pain is elsewhere.
- Your fills wobble when the market speeds up.
- Your platform reconnects slower than it should.
- Your chart lives on your desktop, laptop, or phone already.
- You want the connection between your app and your broker to be the clean part.
A VPS changes where the app runs. TradersProxy changes the path it uses.
The priority route for your trading platform
Retail traders usually pay for two layers. The platform. And the idea.
The missing layer is execution. The route between your trading app and your broker.
TradersProxy was built around that layer. The product gives order flow priority and keeps trading traffic separate from the rest of the machine.
It also reconnects faster, pre-warms broker names, and keeps trading traffic ahead when the line gets busy.
That is not a rented computer. It is a lane.

How to choose
Choose FP Markets VPS (broker-bundled) if:
- You need off-site execution and you want a remote machine.
- You are happy to run a Windows trading environment elsewhere.
- Your strategy depends on an always-on process like an EA.
Choose TradersProxy if:
- Your platform already runs where you want it to run.
- You care about the route more than the rack.
- You want to improve fills, reconnects, and jitter without moving to a VPS.
The honest answer is not "one is better". It is "one is a machine, the other is a lane".
