What ships

Hosting EAs reliably at broker scale

A trader's PC is not infrastructure. The second it goes to sleep, the EA stops. On managed hosting it runs 24/7 next to your execution engine, with the same latency as your platform's regular orders.

For traders and for you

Traders get a dependable automation surface. You get an addressable revenue line and operational visibility.

For traders

Deploy an EA, pick an account, choose risk limits. The platform runs it 24/7 in a dedicated instance. See live uptime, trades per day, and running PnL from the client portal.

For operators

A paid hosting tier that justifies itself. Admin view of every running EA across all traders, with per-EA risk, performance, and infrastructure health in one dashboard.

Per-Trader Instance

Every EA runs in its own isolated instance

No shared VPS. Each trader's EA runs in a dedicated container with its own CPU, memory, and network interface. One trader's runaway loop cannot affect another trader's EA. Instances boot in under a second and auto-restart on crash.

  • Container-isolated runtime per EA, with per-instance resource caps
  • Auto-restart on crash with exponential backoff and alert thresholds
  • Instance health monitored, with the trader notified if it ever stops
  • Multiple EAs per trader supported, each in its own instance

Low-Latency Routing

EA fills route through your execution engine

An EA order placed from a hosted instance travels on the same network path as any other order on your platform. No external bridge, no webhook relay. Fills arrive at the same latency a trader at your trading desk would see.

  • Co-located with your execution engine
  • Same spread, margin logic, and wallet as regular orders
  • Order placement in single-digit milliseconds from the EA
  • Full fill, partial fill, and reject handling built in

Risk Guardrails

A runaway EA can't drain an account

Every hosted EA runs under per-instance risk limits set by the trader and bounded by the operator's platform-wide maxima. Max daily drawdown, max open positions, max lot per trade, forbidden symbols. Breach triggers immediate halt and operator alert.

  • Per-EA max daily drawdown stop
  • Max open positions and max lot-per-trade enforced in the runtime
  • Forbidden-symbol and forbidden-time windows configurable

A runaway EA that opens 50 orders in a second gets halted at order 11, before any damage.

Metrics Dashboard

Uptime, trades, PnL, and instance health

Traders see their EA's uptime, orders placed, win rate, and PnL in real time. Operators see the same across all hosted EAs on the platform. Alerting on EA crashes, drawdown breaches, and instance health degradation.

  • Trader view: uptime, trades per day, win rate, PnL
  • Operator view: all hosted EAs with health status and risk breaches
  • Alerts via email, Telegram, and in-app notifications

  • Upload EA file through the client portal
  • Attach to any account the trader owns
  • Start, pause, stop from the dashboard

Common questions

EA hosting, straight answers

No vague answers.

The initial supported format is MQL4 and MQL5 Expert Advisors for MetaTrader-compatible accounts. The runtime also supports cTrader cBots for cTrader-compatible accounts. Scripts and indicators are supported alongside full EAs.

The instance auto-restarts with exponential backoff. If the EA crashes 3 times in a short window, the instance pauses and the trader is alerted. The platform never silently keeps restarting a broken EA.

The operator admin surfaces every hosted EA across all traders with its running state, risk breaches, and PnL. The EA source code itself is only visible to the trader who uploaded it. The platform never shares EA code between traders.

All hosted EAs run in the same region as your execution engine, co-located for single-digit millisecond routing. We do not offer customer-chosen VPS locations because the latency win from co-location is larger than any geographic preference a trader might have.

Yes. The EA file is encrypted at rest and only decrypted inside the trader's own instance at runtime. Operator admin shows instance health and risk breaches but never the EA source code. Nobody on our side reads trader EA files.

Per-EA max daily drawdown, max open positions, max lot per trade, forbidden symbol list, and forbidden time windows. Operator sets platform-wide maxima that trader-level limits cannot exceed. Breach triggers immediate halt and operator alert.
