AI Trading Server Setup
Start your AI autotrading journey while staying in complete control.
If you've never set up an AI trading system before, it can feel like stepping into the unknown. We've simplified the process into 3 easy steps, tested everything ourselves, and laid it out so you can get started quickly - no guesswork, no confusion, just results.
This guide is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as financial advice. You remain in full control of your trading at every stage.
Choose your Trading Broker
To run any trading bot, you first need a broker account - this is what connects your AI software to the live markets so it can place and manage trades on your behalf.
The brokers below are well-established brokers regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). Please note that this is not the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and protections differ depending on the regulator. We are UK based and use these brokers to gain access to the levels of leverage required to operate the trading algorithm.
Learn More About Leverage & Regulations
Most EU-regulated brokers are restricted by law to offer a maximum leverage of 30:1 for retail clients, under the rules of ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority). This means that if you wish to use trading bots that typically require higher leverage (for example, 200:1), you would need to open an account with a non-EU broker. The decision to sign up with any broker is entirely at your own discretion and initiative. We are not providing financial advice or recommending any specific broker - we simply share what has worked for us through our own testing. Higher leverage increases both potential gains and potential losses. Trading with leverage carries significant risk, including the possible loss of all invested capital.
Available Broker Options
The choice of broker is entirely at your own discretion. We use VT Markets but know that the listed brokers below work well with our choice of AI trading bot.
| Trading Platform | MetaTrader 4 |
| Account Type | Raw ECN |
| Account Currency | USD |
| Leverage | 200:1 |
| Funding | Minimum $650 * |
| Additional Notes | "CENT account" * |
* A minimum of $650 is needed for our chosen AI algorithm to function on its 'high risk' setting. A minimum of $900 is needed to run on the 'medium risk' setting.
* Our chosen AI algorithm requires a "CENT account" as it is designed to trade frequently in small 'lots'.

Trading starts with a lightning-fast server
We use ForexVPS. We found their connection speed to be excellent - vital for placing and closing multiple trades simultaneously - essential for FX Alchemist. The button at the end of this section is pre-configured to provide the exact server setup we use in-house.
Many brokers, including VT Markets, offer a VPS rebate scheme that will pay towards the cost of your VPS server if your monthly trading volume reaches minimum requirements.

Everything needed to set up your server is included by ForexVPS. A document is pre-installed on the desktop with simple to follow instructions to ensure your server is perfectly setup to handle autopilot algorithmic trading. The process only has to be executed once and will ensure your server is always ready to trade.
Don't worry if you've never used a VPS before - setup takes less than 15 minutes and step-by-step instructions are included (plus the team at ForexVPS are on hand to help).
- Ultra low latency (up to 1ms) for fast execution
