Services & Add-Ons
Alpha handles the compute. ServerIQ reports system health, daily snapshots protect the workspace, and TradeCopy keeps copy traffic off the public internet where possible.
ChartVPS ServerIQ
ServerIQ watches CPU, RAM, storage, Windows processes, restarts, shutdowns, and trading-application stability. Useful when NinjaTrader, TradeStation, or an optimization run is meant to keep working after you log off.
ChartVPS TradeCopy
Use Alpha as the CPU-first master or copy node for NinjaTrader and Replikanto. TradeCopy keeps instructions on a private 0-1ms network, then lets you add another VPS when an account group or platform workload needs its own resources.

Technical Benefits
Alpha Series Benefits
Ryzen 9 9950X Processing Power
Fast single-thread performance for charts, indicators, platform logic, and automation.
The processing power listed on the plan is never shared and stays available through busy market sessions, large backfills, and long optimization runs.
ECC DDR5 Memory
High memory bandwidth with real-time error detection and correction.
ECC memory costs more and is harder to source than ordinary desktop RAM. We use it because fast charts, large data sets, and long-running automation still need memory stability.
Exchange-Adjacent Locations
Infrastructure near major exchange, broker, and market-data systems reduces avoidable network distance.
Typical Chicago-to-CME latency is 0-1ms. Other routes depend on the location, broker, exchange, and carrier path, which is why the right server location matters.
Blended Transit & BGP Routing
Multiple Tier-1 carriers keep market data, order traffic, and Remote Desktop sessions on efficient routes, with alternatives ready.
If one carrier develops congestion or loses a path, BGP can move traffic to another. That helps the trading platform stay connected to broker and market-data systems without depending on one network.
Mirrored Gen4/Gen5 NVMe
RAID 1 mirrors data across fast NVMe drives so one disk failure does not take the server with it.
Fast NVMe shortens chart loads, historical backfills, platform database work, and optimization-file access. Mirroring handles a disk failure; automated off-server snapshots handle recovery beyond the node.
Built Around The Workload
Start with the cores, RAM, and storage your platform workspaces actually need.
Support can size or customize Alpha around platform count, chart load, automation, backtesting, data retention, and operating-system requirements.
Managed 24/7 Support
Skilled humans with trading-platform and Windows server fluency are available around the clock. Management is included.
A NinjaTrader freeze, broken data feed, Windows issue, and server fault can look surprisingly similar at first. The people answering know where to look and what to do next.
Layered Security
Facility controls, firewalls, encrypted RDP, and DDoS mitigation protect the path between the trader and the platform.
Biometric facility access protects the hardware. Hardware and software firewalls protect the server. Layer 3, 4, and 7 DDoS filtering helps keep attack traffic from interrupting platform access and market-data connections. ChartVPS is SOC 2 Type I compliant.
Windows Server 2025 Included
A current Windows environment, provisioned for remote trading workloads.
Run NinjaTrader, MetaTrader, Sierra Chart, TradeStation, and other Windows trading platforms in a familiar environment. Windows 11 Pro is available where the platform and configuration call for it.
Resource Allocation
Your CPU Power Stays Yours
The CPU cores shown on your Alpha plan stay available to your VPS. When charts, indicators, feeds, automation, and backtests all ask at once, another client's busy server cannot take that processing power away.
A spec sheet is easy. Sustained access to the resources on it is the part that matters during market hours.

Sustained Performance
Cooling For Sustained CPU Load
Alpha is built for sustained CPU work, not short benchmark bursts. Liquid cooling moves heat away from Ryzen 9 9950X host nodes efficiently, helping performance remain stable through long backtests, optimizations, and market sessions.
Cooling does not make a strategy faster by itself. It prevents heat from becoming the reason the CPU slows down.
Better thermal management can extend hardware life by up to 25%, reducing component wear and helping Alpha nodes remain stable through years of sustained trading workloads.

Memory
DDR5 Bandwidth. ECC Stability.
DDR5 moves more data between memory and the CPU than DDR4. That matters when several charts, feeds, indicators, and strategy processes are active together.
ECC detects and corrects memory errors in real time. It is more expensive and harder to source than ordinary desktop RAM. We use it across Alpha because speed without stability is not much of an upgrade.

Where Alpha Earns Its CPU
High-Frequency Automation
Strong single-thread performance helps trading logic, data handling, and order preparation move through the platform with less infrastructure delay. Alpha also addresses the network side with exchange-adjacent locations, blended carriers, and optimized routes.
Scalping & HFT Workflows
Scalping and HFT can keep charts, indicators, data feeds, and automated logic busy at once. Alpha keeps the platform responsive through fast market sessions, while exchange-adjacent networking shortens the route to broker and exchange systems.
Arbitrage Workflows
Compare prices across several markets, brokers, or exchanges at once. Alpha gives the feeds, platform instances, and automation the CPU capacity to keep those comparisons current.
Backtesting & Optimization
High-clock-speed Ryzen 9 9950X cores and fast Gen4/Gen5 NVMe shorten historical-data loading and repeated test and optimization cycles, so more runs finish in the same research window.
Options & Derivatives
Give large option chains, pricing models, volatility calculations, and repeated scenario work more CPU and memory headroom.
Quantitative Analysis
Process large data sets, model calculations, scripts, and live platform tasks together on high-clock-speed Ryzen 9 9950X cores and DDR5 ECC memory.
Portfolio Optimization
Iterative allocation and constraint calculations benefit from dedicated cores and memory bandwidth. Larger parallel workloads may be better suited to Delta.
Market Simulation
Run repeated scenarios and strategy tests without claiming that faster infrastructure makes the prediction more accurate. It makes the computation less of a wait.
Multi-Platform Trading
Run NinjaTrader, MetaTrader, Sierra Chart, TradeStation, data feeds, and supporting tools together when one trading workspace has become several.
