Estimated 0.52ms from Chicago to CME.
Futures on CME Globex. Home of Tradovate, Rithmic, and NinjaTrader. Orders and market data skip your home connection.
Performance plans are 85% faster per thread, the speed charting and order-entry platforms feel most. Charting and order-entry platforms run mostly on one or two threads, so a faster thread keeps charts and the DOM responsive.
A workload estimate, not a limit. Platforms, charts and market data share the memory, so leave headroom for busy sessions.
Room for the operating system, your platforms, market data and files.
The operating system and installed software use part of it. Choose a larger plan to keep more data.
Recommended for CQG: Windows.
Windows suits desktop platforms such as NinjaTrader and MetaTrader. Ubuntu suits Linux bots, APIs and Docker.
Speed is how much data moves at once, not order latency.
Latency is how long one message waits. Actual throughput depends on the network route and workload.
Spread charts across the screens of your own computer in one Remote Desktop session, up to the number each plan lists.
Tick "Use all my monitors" in Remote Desktop before you connect.
The typical time from purchase until your VPS is ready.
An extra recovery point for your VPS, at no extra cost. RAID1 mirrors data across drives to protect against a single drive failure.
Keep separate copies of important trading files as well. RAID1 is not a backup. It does not protect against deletion or data corruption.
Alerts when your platform or data feed stops. Free on every plan during the beta.
Agents you can install: Claude Code (Linux), Codex (Linux), OpenCode (Linux), Hermes (Linux), OpenClaw (Linux), Cursor CLI (Windows or Linux), AutoGPT (Linux), n8n (Linux), LM Studio (Windows), Gemini CLI (Linux).
Agents run on your plan's CPU, memory and storage with your own API keys. Local models need more memory. Your own MCP servers and the QuantVPS REST API work too. Unsure which agent to use? Our team helps you set it up at no charge.

The complete workflow behind this stage
Use the server address and credentials in your control panel with Remote Desktop on Windows or Windows App on Mac.
Install the CQG product or supported third-party platform approved for your account and license.
Use the credentials and connection details supplied by your broker, then check data permissions, symbols, and the intended trading account.
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.
Choose resources for the CQG client or third-party front end you use and test the route to its assigned gateway. Confirm the account supports that connection and any API access you need. Hosting does not grant additional data, platform, or trading entitlements.
Your CQG platform arrives installed on Windows Server 2025 or 2022, ready to log in. Choose from 40+ Windows platform templates at checkout.

Ready to log in
Windows Server 2025 is standard on Dedicated servers and available on VPS plans.
Your CQG VPS is typically deployed and ready in under 60 seconds after purchase, reachable over Remote Desktop. Dedicated servers take 30–120 minutes.
CME Globex equity-index futures trade from Sunday 5 PM to Friday 4 PM Chicago time, pausing for an hour each afternoon. Between your Remote Desktop check-ins, your VPS stays online with your CQG platform open, market data keeps flowing and your strategies keep running.
Regular hours in Chicago time (CT); holidays and early closes vary. Check-ins are illustrative.

CQG's Orders and Positions shows seven sample accounts.
A trade copier copies the lead account's ES order to the other six accounts, and each one fills in turn.
These accounts, prices and profits are simulated, not real results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss, and simulated results do not guarantee future results.

Keep your CQG-connected platform on the Chicago route to CME, with 0.52ms network latency from the QuantVPS rack. CQG and your broker handle market data, account permissions and order routing; the VPS hosts the workspace you control.
Your home-to-VPS connection affects how responsive the remote desktop feels. The VPS-to-venue connection is the separate path your trading software uses.
8 locations. One connected network.
Direct peering and Tier-1 carriers keep order routes fast. Multiple carriers and automatic failover support availability.
Our network spans eight data centers, all available for self-service VPS orders. Location and plan availability are shown at checkout. The 0.52ms figure is from Chicago to CME; latency varies by destination and region.

Backups
Platform layouts, credentials, and strategy settings take real time to rebuild. On every VPS plan, automatic off-site backups capture your entire CQG VPS, so a failure means a quick restore rather than reconfiguring your desk.

Keep your CQG-connected platform running around the clock on your CQG VPS with your layouts and credentials loaded. Our web control panel and included RDP access give you full command from a laptop, phone, or iPad, without your home PC being involved.
