Trade Server.

Each operation sent from the trading mobile app into the forex and exchange markets passes through a trade server — this page explains how many you get.

The Trade Server carries order flow — one in Standard and Business, four in Express. It is one of four servers in the forex trading platform for brokers.

Sizing Trade Servers for Peak Load.

Three notes on sizing trade-server capacity for peak load.

How does Trade Server count differ between tiers?

Trade-server count is the clearest difference between the tiers. Standard and Business each run one, which is enough for their account ceilings, while Express runs four to spread the load of a much larger book.

Why size Trade Server capacity for your busiest day?

Trade-server capacity is the part worth sizing honestly, since it carries live order flow at the busiest moment of your busiest day rather than an average. That is the conversation behind the jump from one server to four.

Who should lead the Trade Server sizing conversation?

Trade-server sizing is a conversation for technical leads and operations teams planning for peak load, not just total accounts. It is also the clearest signal of when a broker should move from Business to Express.

Where This Fits.

Where the Trade Server sits among the platform's servers and gateways. To see the trading app its order flow serves, start at the TM9 home page.

The server set

The Trade Server is one of four server roles in every TM9 platform. It carries the order flow, while the History Server keeps the record, the Access Server handles terminal connections and the Backup Server covers continuity. It is also the only role whose count changes: one in Standard and Business, four in Express. Gateways are quoted separately and added upon order.

The role every order passes through

Every order placed from a terminal is carried by the Trade Server, which is why it is the role brokers ask about first. The History, Access and Backup servers stay the same in all three tiers; what moves is the trade-server count, from one in Standard and Business to four in Express. Gateways are ordered on top, so the platform links only to the outside systems a broker actually runs.

Good to know

Because only the trade-server count differs between tiers, choosing a tier is partly a decision about peak order flow: one server in Standard and Business, four in Express. Gateways stay outside the bundle and are added upon order, and trade-server sizing is agreed on the rollout call, together with retention and backup, before pricing is confirmed.
