RYZEN 6 for most traders. DDR5 memory and 3 Gbps+ networking give NinjaTrader comfortable headroom with charts open and strategies running. EPYC 6 is the same core and memory count on DDR4 if you want the lower monthly. Step up to EPYC 12 or RYZEN 8 when you are running many charts and several strategies at once. EPYC 4 and RYZEN 4 are the exception: pick one only if NinjaTrader will run with no charts open.

No. The 4 vCPU plans are built for headless automation: NinjaTrader running your strategies and CrossTrade webhooks with no charts open. Charts, indicators, and extra strategies are where 4 vCPU and 8 GB of memory run out, and that is not something support can tune away. If you want to watch charts on the server, start at EPYC 6 or RYZEN 6.

Both run the same Windows Server build in the same Chicago facility. EPYC plans use DDR4 memory on 1 Gbps+ networking and are the value option. RYZEN plans use DDR5 memory on 3 Gbps+ networking, which gives you more headroom under load. The number in the plan name is the vCPU count.

No. CrossTrade VPS plans are virtual servers running on shared physical hardware. You get your own Windows install, your own unique IP address, and the vCPU, RAM, and NVMe storage listed on your plan — but the underlying machine is shared with other virtual servers. That is what a VPS is. If you need an entire physical machine to yourself, a bare-metal dedicated server is a different product and these plans are not it. Because the hardware is shared, a server that runs at sustained high CPU or disk usage for extended periods may be throttled so it does not degrade performance for everyone else on the same host. Normal NinjaTrader and CrossTrade workloads are nowhere near that line.

Typically 10 to 20 minutes. You'll receive an email with your RDP login details once the server is ready. Worst case is under an hour.

Yes, upgrades are available at any time. Downgrades are not possible once resources have been allocated and disk size expanded.

Yes. Your monthly rate will not increase as long as you maintain the subscription.

Yes. You have full administrative access. Install anything you need as long as it complies with the terms of service. The one exception is virtualization software, because nested virtualization is not supported on any plan.

No. Nested virtualization is not supported on any CrossTrade VPS plan, in any form. That covers Hyper-V, VMware, VirtualBox, WSL2, Docker Desktop, Windows Sandbox, Android emulators, and anything else that needs a hypervisor running inside the server. It cannot be turned on by request, and no plan, tier, or add-on unlocks it. This limit is published before purchase, so a VPS bought to run virtual machines is not grounds for a refund.
