Here you can find: - VPS IP address - Username - Password - Server status You will need these details in the next step, so keep them ready. ![QuantVPS Plan Summary panel showing Server Credentials with IP address, username, password, and Quickstart Guide links](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/4-will-get-vps-with-details-1024x493.avif) --- ## Step 4: Connect to the VPS Using Remote Desktop Now, open **Remote Desktop Connection** on your computer. Then, enter the VPS IP address and login credentials. After connecting, you will see the Windows desktop of your VPS. If you use macOS or a mobile device, you can connect using Microsoft Remote Desktop apps. This allows access from anywhere. ![Remote Desktop Connection ](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/5-connect-using-remote-desktop.avif) --- ## Step 5: Review the Preinstalled Software Once you log in, check the desktop. You will already see: - Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation (TWS) - PickMyTrade IB application Because QuantVPS prepared the VPS in advance, you do not need to install anything manually. ![QuantVPS](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/6-vps-will-be-connected-with-preinstalled-tws-pickmytradeib-app-1024x521.avif) --- ## Step 6: Log In to Interactive Brokers (TWS) First, launch **Trader Workstation (TWS)** on your VPS. Next, enter your **Interactive Brokers (IBKR) username and password** to log in. Sometimes, IB may ask for additional security verification. Complete the verification if prompted. After logging in, make sure **TWS remains open and connected**. PickMyTrade relies on a live TWS connection to place trades, so do not close the application while automation is active. ![Trader Workstation (TWS) ](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-16.avif) --- ## Step 7: Connect PickMyTrade to Interactive Brokers Once TWS is running, open the **PickMyTrade IB application** on the VPS. Then follow these steps: 1. Log in to your PickMyTrade account 2. Check your IB connection status inside the application 3. If not connected, click the **“IB Connection”** button in the navigation bar 4. Wait for the connection confirmation Before moving forward, always confirm that PickMyTrade shows an active connection to Interactive Brokers. Alerts and trading actions depend on this connection. ![PickMyTrade IB app connection ](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-17.avif) ## Next Steps: Automate TradingView Strategies Once PickMyTrade is connected to Interactive Brokers and Trader Workstation (TWS) is running, you can proceed with automating your TradingView strategies. At this point, the VPS setup and broker connection are complete. Therefore, you only need to configure alert generation based on your trading strategy and instrument type. For detailed, step-by-step instructions on creating alerts and automating trades, please refer to the official PickMyTrade documentation below: - [**Automating TradingView Strategies for Futures & Stocks in Interactive Brokers (IB)**](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/docs/automating-tradingview-strategies-for-futures-stocks-in-interactive-brokers-ib/) - **[Automating TradingView Strategies for Options & Futures Options in Interactive Brokers (IB)](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/docs/automating-tradingview-strategies-for-options-futures-options-in-interactive-brokers-ib/)** --- ## Support Responsibilities To avoid confusion, support responsibilities are clearly divided. - **QuantVPS** manages VPS uptime, server access, and infrastructure - **PickMyTrade** manages automation setup, broker connection, and trade execution Because of this separation, users receive faster and clearer support.
