    Trading & access

    6 included
    • Run trading platforms compatible with your chosen Windows or Linux system. Platform licenses and market-data subscriptions are separate, and available CPU and RAM determine how much you can run at once.
    • No plan-imposed limit on exchange connections through your trading software. Exchange permissions, data subscriptions, platform limits, and available server resources still apply.
    • No plan-imposed cap on API connections for your trading tools. Broker and API rate limits, account permissions, and available server resources still apply.
    • Run AI agents, compatible runtimes, and your own MCP servers on your VPS. These workloads use your plan’s included CPU, memory, and storage; connect your own APIs and tools.
    • Administrator access on Windows or root access on Linux lets you install compatible platforms, indicators, and tools, and manage your server settings.
    • Run compatible trade copiers such as Replikanto and ETP. Software licenses are separate, and the number of accounts you can copy depends on your software and server resources.

    Network & protection

    5 included
    • Choose Chicago for infrastructure near CME exchange connectivity. Actual latency depends on your broker, data feed, and network route; the latency row shows the estimate for the selected location.
    • Your server has its own IP address for remote access and connecting trading tools. You can use it with services that support IP allowlisting.
    • Always-on DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) protection with advanced traffic filtering, plus firewalls and intrusion detection.
    • Server protection complements network DDoS filtering. You should still keep your operating system and trading software updated and protect your account credentials; no protection eliminates every security risk.
    • Traffic is not billed per gigabyte. Connection speed depends on your plan and location; unmetered bandwidth does not mean unlimited network speed.
    How we protect your server

    Support & reliability

    6 included
    • Get help around the clock from a US-based team familiar with trading platforms, data feeds, and VPS troubleshooting.
    • Our support team can help you move your trading environment from another server. Contact us to coordinate the move and check any platform-specific requirements.
    • Get assistance connecting to your server and setting up your trading environment. Provisioning time is shown separately for each plan.
    • Our Network Operations Center monitors every server, network path, and datacenter 24x7x365 with a 15-minute first-reply target for critical issues. Average first response under 10 minutes.
    • BetaQuantVPS Detect+ is in beta and free on every plan during the beta. It monitors NinjaTrader 8 and other trading platforms, and data feed and broker connections (for example Rithmic, CQG, Tradovate and IBKR), and alerts by email, in the dashboard, and in Telegram, Slack and similar apps.
    • Our 99.999% uptime SLA covers service availability. Service credits are subject to the SLA terms; this does not guarantee broker, exchange, or trading-platform availability.

    Flexible plans

    3 included
    • There is no one-time server setup charge. Your selected plan, billing period, and any optional add-ons determine the price shown at checkout.
    • Upgrade from your dashboard as your trading workload grows. To move to a smaller plan, contact support. Available configurations and billing adjustments depend on the change.

Run CME futures trading tools on a VPS

  1. Connect to your Windows VPS

    Use the server address and credentials in your control panel with Remote Desktop on Windows or Windows App on Mac.

  2. Open a compatible futures platform

    Use your chosen supported platform, such as NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, or Quantower, with the appropriate license.

  3. Connect your broker and market data

    Enable the required CME market-data permissions through your service, then verify symbols, accounts, and order routing in simulation.

  4. Disconnect without signing out

    Close the remote connection, not the application or Windows session. Apps can keep running while the VPS is on. Monitor reconnects, account sessions, and scheduled maintenance.

Closer to the book. Sooner in the queue.

On CME Globex, resting orders at the same price generally fill in the order they arrive. With your platform in Chicago, a limit joins the queue earlier and an exit reaches the book sooner.

  1. Step 1: Rest a limit on the ladderA BUY limit joins the queue at its price on the DOM.
  2. Step 2: Move up the queueSellers hit the bid. The heat at your price thins as the orders ahead of yours fill.

CME VPS FAQ.

CME questions, answered
Sound familiar?5 common ones

Ever missed a setup because you were away from your desk?

Market data keeps flowing and your strategies keep running.

If any of these sound familiar, a trading VPS is the fix.

A Windows or Linux server in our Chicago datacenter with a direct route into CME Globex in Aurora and your futures platform pre-installed.

Network round trip from our Chicago rack to CME’s Aurora matching engines. Broker processing and exchange queues are on top of it; the figure is not an execution-time guarantee.

NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Sierra Chart, Quantower, MultiCharts, Bookmap, ATAS and Jigsaw, with feeds via Rithmic, CQG or Tradovate. Your account determines which platform and feed combination is supported.

Yes. Market data comes from your broker or feed; the VPS is where the platform runs. Supply the required market-data subscription and account permissions separately.

Choose Performance (Ryzen) tiers for live charts and order entry, or Ultra or Dedicated for parallel backtests. Size CPU, memory and storage around the number of charts, strategies and datasets you run.
