Trading VMs for AI Agents: Run Your Agent 24/7 Next to the Exchange
A dedicated Windows or Linux VM, pre-configured with Chrome, our extension, your MCP server and model keys, hosted in our Chicago (CME Aurora) facility — so your AI agent watches markets and executes without your laptop being open.
What is on the VM
01
Windows Server or Ubuntu, sized for your workload (from 2 vCPU / 4 GB to dedicated servers).
02
Chrome with the AI trading extension and your platform logged in (TradingView, MT5 web, cTrader, TradeLocker, Tradovate, IBKR…).
03
Your MCP server and AI provider keys (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini) — or a local model on GPU instances.
04
Watchdog, auto-restart, session keep-alive, log shipping and uptime alerts to Telegram or email.
05
Optional Rithmic / CQG / Ironbeam connectivity for futures execution off the exchange-side path.
Why host the agent instead of running it on your PC
01
Always on — alerts and execution do not stop when you close the lid or lose Wi-Fi.
02
Milliseconds from CME Aurora and a short hop to equity and crypto venues.
03
Isolated — the agent has its own browser profile and keys, separate from your daily machine.
04
Managed — we patch, monitor and restart; you get the logs and the kill switch.
Built on TradingSoft trading hosting
This is our existing low-latency CME futures VPS hosting with the AI agent stack pre-installed and supported. Plans start at the same price points; the AI stack is added per VM.
Learn to build it yourself
Want to set up your own trading VM? The course track Building a Trading VM Where AI Agents Run walks through it step by step.
Automation carries risk. Nothing on this page is investment advice; every tool we build ships with position limits, a confirm mode and a kill switch, and you remain responsible for your trading decisions.
