    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. 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.

    • 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.

A MotiveWave VPS built for always-on charts, strategies, algos and faster execution.

Run MotiveWave on a VPS in Chicago. Access your trading workspace through Remote Desktop while your platform runs near CME. Follow the same three steps, with resources and connectivity selected for your trading setup.
  1. Secure remote accessWindows, Mac, iPhone, iPad or Android

    Your trading computer. In the cloud.

    Connect and control your trading strategies from any device, anywhere in the world, through secure remote desktop, while execution remains on QuantVPS.

    • Global Access
    • Remote Desktop
    • 24/7 Uptime

    Workflow stage

    The complete workflow behind this stage

    Connect to the Windows workspace through Remote Desktop from a supported desktop or mobile device. The platform and strategies keep running on the server when the local device disconnects.
  2. Continuous operationWindows Server or Ubuntu 24.04

    Run MotiveWave on Chicago infrastructure. Built for continuous trading.

    Host bots, algorithms, and critical software on the QuantVPS Edge in Chicago, configured for continuous low-latency operation.

    • High Performance
    • Chicago Datacenter
    • Trading Optimized

    Workflow stage

    The complete workflow behind this stage

    Run automated platforms and related software on a server located in Chicago. Select the CPU, memory, and storage tier around the processes, charts, and historical work the setup performs. The firewall, network configuration, and security come optimized for trading performance.
  3. 0.52ms network latencyChicago → CME

    Execute through a direct CME path. Fewer hops, less slippage.

    Send orders over a direct, low-latency connection to CME in 0.52ms, reducing network hops and slippage. The server remains available independently of the local computer and internet connection.

    • Low Latency
    • Fewer Hops
    • Reduced Slippage

    Workflow stage

    The complete workflow behind this stage

    Place the workspace near CME when that route matters to the strategy. The published 0.52ms figure measures network latency; fills and slippage still depend on the broker, venue, order type, and market conditions.

Run MotiveWave on your 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. Set up your MotiveWave edition

    Open or install the Windows client, activate your license, and restore your saved workspace.

  3. Connect data and check studies

    Add a supported service connection and verify instrument mappings, studies, and any licensed strategy functionality.

  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.

What is a VPS for MotiveWave?

A MotiveWave VPS hosts your MotiveWave workspace, studies, and supported strategies on a remote computer. Analysis stays on the VPS while you connect from your own device. Your edition determines the available tools, and data or brokerage connections require their own permissions.

Choosing the best VPS for MotiveWave

Plan CPU and memory for your wave analysis, order-flow studies, and active instruments. Check which automation and broker connections your MotiveWave edition supports. A VPS supplies compute and remote access, not an upgrade to your platform license.

Optimized for MotiveWave.

Your MotiveWave VPS stays online for every CME Globex session, hosted in Chicago on a typical 0.52 ms route to CME.

Two builds. Pick yours.

What changes when MotiveWave runs on QuantVPS.

Two things change when MotiveWave moves off your desk: how it holds up in a fast market, and the hardware under it.

Volatility

Stay Stable Through Volatility: Keep MotiveWave Responsive with a Dedicated MotiveWave VPS. Stable through market volatility.

High-impact sessions can overwhelm local PCs. A dedicated MotiveWave VPS delivers consistent CPU, memory, and network resources so MotiveWave remains responsive during fast markets and news-driven volatility. All of it runs with 99.999% uptime on enterprise-grade hardware in top-tier datacenters, with 24/7 on-site datacenter and engineering teams. A local PC in an office cannot offer that.

Execution

Enhance Your Execution Quality with Our High-Performance MotiveWave VPS. Optimized low-latency routing.

Advanced charting and order routing in MotiveWave benefits from ultra-low latency. Our premium MotiveWave VPS, with 0.52ms connectivity to major exchanges, reduces slippage and helps you achieve fills closer to your intended price across stocks, futures, and forex.

MotiveWave VPS FAQ.

MotiveWave 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.

Choose the edition that includes your analysis, order-flow, or strategy features. A VPS does not upgrade your MotiveWave license. Install the matching Windows client and check activation rules when moving machines.

Export or back up the workspace using MotiveWave’s supported process, transfer it securely, and restore it on the VPS. Verify custom studies, instrument definitions, and data connections after migration.

Where your edition and connections support automation, configured strategies can run while the application remains active. Test recovery and account reconciliation first; not every study or license includes automated trading.

Use services supported by your MotiveWave edition and account. Market data and order routing may be separate connections. Confirm subscriptions and symbol mappings for each before moving a live workspace.

Several instruments, deep history, intensive wave analysis, and order-flow studies can increase load. Test CPU and memory with your real workspace and avoid running large research jobs alongside sensitive live strategies.

The VPS provides a separate always-on workspace rather than native Mac compatibility. You can control that Windows session through Windows App while your local computer disconnects or changes networks.
