Cloud
PineConnector Cloud was built to give our automation software the dedicated hardware it deserves. By integrating reliable VPS infrastructure directly into PineConnector, we’ve become a true all-in-one solution for retail algo-trading. Users can manage and control their Cloud directly from the PineConnector Portal, keeping everything in one place without juggling multiple logins or services.
In collaboration with ForexVPS, each Cloud server comes with custom configurations designed for traders. You’ll find 10 MetaTrader 5 instances preinstalled and pinned on the taskbar, the latest PineConnector EA ready to go, and a unique wallpaper that blends ForexVPS green with PineConnector blue. These touches, along with other small optimizations, ensure you can start trading right away without tedious setup. The ultimate plug-and-play!
Since not every trader requires dedicated hardware, PineConnector Cloud is available as an add-on, giving flexibility to those who need it. For serious traders, the new Professional Plan includes Cloud for free, and we highly encourage making use of it for maximum reliability and uptime.

Broker Latency
PineConnector Cloud is simplified to two server locations: London and New York. Popular brokers such as FTMO, Pepperstone, and SwitchMarkets are already optimized with lightning-fast connections.
Broker | London Latency | New York Latency |
FTMO | 1ms | 68ms |
Pepperstone | 1ms | 1ms |
SwitchMarkets | 1ms | 82ms |

Latency matters because every millisecond counts. A home setup can reach 200–300ms, introducing lag that causes delayed entries and slippage. On PineConnector Cloud, latency drops to as low as 1ms, putting you effectively in the same room as your broker’s servers.
Lower latency means earlier entries before price moves, tighter spreads, reduced slippage, and faster fills. This consistency is especially valuable for scalpers, traders running prop firm challenges, or anyone relying on precise execution. It’s the difference between watching a move happen and being in the move from the start.
Portal
To access Cloud, go to Cloud page on PineConnector Portal. Select your desired Cloud location of New York or London (don’t worry, you can change this later!) and then choose your desired Cloud plan (Cloud Only, Starter with Cloud, Advanced with Cloud or Professional with Cloud).
Once you have upgraded your desired Cloud plan, you’ll be able to access the Cloud page. The initial provisioning of Cloud takes approximately 5 minutes.
Once your Cloud has successfully provisioned, you’ll get an email with your login credentials. Below is a sample email with your VPS details.
The Cloud page will show only your IP address and username. For security purposes, your Cloud password will be in your email and not directly available on the PineConnector Portal.
