Trading server
A trading server is required because the execution environment must stay online continuously. The framework cannot depend on a personal laptop being switched on all the time. A VPS keeps MetaTrader running, keeps the bridge connection stable, and allows signals to be executed even when you are offline.

Your VPS is required to keep MT5 and the execution environment online 24/7.
Why a server is required
Keeps your MT5 terminal online 24/7
Allows signals to execute even when your PC is off
Provides a more stable environment for automated execution
Reduces interruptions caused by shutdowns or disconnects
Creates a dedicated execution machine instead of using a personal device
What you need on the server
The server should be used as the execution machine for your setup. On it, you install MetaTrader 5 and run the client environment required for signal delivery and order execution.
• Windows VPS access
• MetaTrader 5 installation
• Stable internet connection
• Your broker login inside MT5
• Your SFCM client environment running correctly
Important
The server is not the broker and not TradingView. It is only the machine that keeps your execution setup online. You still need your own broker account, TradingView access, and MetaTrader 5 to complete the full framework.
