# Dedicated IP

{% hint style="warning" %}
This feature is **NOT** calculated as part of the Pro features: it has a separate cost.
{% endhint %}

A **Dedicated IP** is an IP address reserved exclusively for your use. It is not shared with other users, which helps avoid issues that can occur with shared access. Each Dedicated IP costs **$6 per month**. You can purchase one or more based on your needs and assign them to your trading accounts. This is especially useful if you manage multiple accounts or need a consistent connection for compliance or operational reasons.

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature doesn't require a Pro account because the fee is already covered with the order of the dedicated IP. It can also be used with both Basic and Pro accounts.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
An alternative to the Dedicated IP is the [My Home IP](/tutorials/my-home-ip.md) feature. The purpose is the same, but the difference is that you provide your own IP, either from your home connection or through a VPS.
{% endhint %}

## **How to Use a Dedicated IP**

* You can use the same dedicated IP for multiple accounts.\
  In this case, the **Usage** field will increase depending on how many accounts are linked to it.
* Depending on the platform or account type, the proxy will use either:
  * an IPv4 address (x.x.x.x) or
  * an IPv6 address (x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x)
* The IP address is shown in the account overview under the **Proxy** label (hover with your mouse).

## Limitations

* If you require **more than 20 Dedicated IPs within a single region**, please reach out to our support team. We can manually review your request and increase the limit to meet your operational needs.
* Using a Dedicated IP may introduce a **slight increase in latency** due to the additional routing layer. For most users, especially those employing **swing trading, day trading, or scalping strategies**, this added latency is negligible and does not impact performance. However, if you rely on **high-frequency trading (HFT)**, where execution speed is critical, we strongly recommend **testing the setup in a demo environment** first. This ensures you can evaluate performance and make an informed decision before committing real capital.
* Please be aware that, although rare, there may be instances where our infrastructure provider **revokes an assigned IP address**. In such cases, we will automatically assign you a **new Dedicated IP** to ensure uninterrupted service. While we strive to maintain long-term continuity, these changes are beyond our direct control.
