Trading proxy in Frankfurt

You don’t need a server in Frankfurt to trade from Frankfurt.

We have no server in Frankfurt. The listed cities closest to Frankfurt are Zurich and Amsterdam, so you connect to one of those.

Your broker’s city is a separate choice, and it can be any city on our list. It matters most, because our help is on the connection between our server and your broker.

Choose your broker’s city, even if it isn’t Zurich or Amsterdam.

In your dashboard, choose the city your broker’s trade server is in. If that is the city you connect to, that server also connects to your broker. If it is another city we list, choose that one.

Say your broker’s trade server is in London. You connect to Zurich or Amsterdam, and our servers pass your data to our server in London. Lost data near your broker is then recovered inside London, not from Frankfurt.

Our server in your broker’s city recovers lost data locally.

Our server’s city matters when the internet loses part of your order. When you click Buy, your order crosses the internet to your broker as small pieces of data.

Sometimes the internet loses a piece. Your computer waits, then sends it again, all the way to your broker. If that copy is lost too, it waits twice as long.

Everything sent after it waits as well. In a busy moment, this delays price updates and holds up your next order. The farther your broker, the longer each recovery wait takes from your computer.

Our server in your broker’s city opens a separate local connection to your broker. If data drops on that link, our server recovers it inside that city. Trading ports go first when a server is busy, and broker addresses stay warm in memory.

If your broker is in Frankfurt, Traders Proxy is a weaker fit.

Then none of our servers is in your broker’s city. The nearest are Zurich and Amsterdam, so lost data near your broker is recovered from there, not inside Frankfurt.

You can still time your own platform without us and then with us, so you decide on your own numbers. Our connection check shows how.

Three steps set you up, with nothing to install.

These steps send your platform’s connection to your broker through our server in your broker’s city.

If you picked the wrong broker’s city, change it any time, and your four values stay the same. Restart your platform to use the new city straight away. We never move you to a different city without asking.

You can see whether it helps before you rely on it.

Time how long your platform takes to connect and show live prices, once without us and once with us. Our connection check shows how.

If the two times match, you don’t need us. The problem shows up in busy sessions, so the best time to compare is a big news release. Most weeks bring one.

Know these five limits before you pay.

• It does not change your ping, the time data takes there and back. We don’t promise lower ping. Distance sets the minimum. Be wary of anyone who promises it.
• It does not change your own internet. The connection from you to our server is only as good as your internet, so a weak Wi-Fi signal stays weak.
• It does not touch anything outside your trading app. Only the trading app you set up uses Traders Proxy. Everything else stays on your normal internet, so your plan’s data goes on trading.
• It does not change your broker’s rules. If your broker prohibits proxies, don’t use one. Check your broker’s terms before you start.
• It does not keep a platform running with your computer off. If an expert advisor must run while your computer is off, you need a VPS. See proxy or VPS compared.
