What is a TradingView VPS?
TradingView itself is a hosted web platform — the charts run in the cloud, not on your computer. So a "TradingView VPS" is not for running TradingView the charting app. It is for running the infrastructure that converts TradingView alerts into real broker orders: the webhook receiver, the broker connector (typically MT4/MT5, NinjaTrader, or a broker REST API), and the always-on Windows session that keeps them connected.
The most common use case is webhook-based automation: a Pine Script strategy on TradingView fires an alert when a condition is met, the alert POSTs to a webhook URL hosted on the VPS, and a small Python or .NET service on the VPS translates the webhook payload into a MetaTrader or NinjaTrader order. PropVPS pre-installs a webhook-receiver template and the Python 3.11 + .NET 8 runtimes those translators typically use.
TradingView VPS architecture
A typical TradingView VPS stack runs three components on a single Windows Server instance. (1) A small HTTPS webhook receiver — usually a 50-line Python or .NET app exposed on a public port. (2) A persistent connection to your broker — MT4/MT5 terminal, NinjaTrader, or a direct broker REST/FIX API. (3) A translator that maps TradingView alert payloads to broker order tickets.
PropVPS bundles all three as a one-click template. You provide your TradingView alert webhook URL, your broker credentials, and a JSON mapping from alert types to order tickets; the template handles the plumbing.
TradingView VPS specifications
Hardware: Intel Xeon dedicated cores, ECC DDR4 memory, NVMe storage. OS: Windows Server 2022 with Python 3.11, .NET 8, and a hardened webhook-receiver template. Network: dedicated public IPv4 per instance plus a free TLS certificate via Let’s Encrypt (autorenewed), so TradingView can POST to https://your-instance.propvps.com without SSL warnings.
