    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.

    • Fewer Hops
    • Reduced Slippage

Run Optimus-connected 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. Install your account-supported terminal

    Use the platform and connection option confirmed for your Optimus Futures account.

  3. Configure the trading connection

    Add assigned feed credentials, confirm the trading account and exchange subscriptions, and validate your workspace in simulation where available.

  4. Disconnect without signing out

    Close the remote connection, not the application or Windows session. Apps can continue while the server is on; monitor reconnects, account sessions, and scheduled maintenance.

What is a VPS for Optimus?

An Optimus VPS hosts the trading platform connected to your Optimus Futures account. Your terminal runs on a remote Windows desktop while brokerage and data services remain external. Use the platform-and-feed combination authorized for your specific account.

Choosing the best VPS for Optimus

Choose resources for your actual front end, whether it is a compact DOM workspace or a larger order-flow layout. Confirm feed compatibility and account permissions with Optimus before installation. Hosting does not include platform licensing or exchange data subscriptions.

Built for Optimus

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

CME Globex equity-index futures trade from Sunday 5 PM to Friday 4 PM Chicago time, pausing for an hour each afternoon. Your Optimus platform keeps running on your VPS between your Remote Desktop check-ins.

Regular hours in Chicago time (CT); holidays and early closes vary. Check-ins are illustrative.

Optimus Flow, NinjaTrader or Sierra Chart on your Optimus Futures VPS, 0.52ms to CME.

Run Optimus Flow, NinjaTrader or Sierra Chart with your supported Optimus Futures connection from Chicago. Your VPS provides the 0.52ms network route to CME and an always-on workspace; account permissions and order handling stay with the broker and feed.

Performance Hardware

What changes when your Optimus trading runs on QuantVPS.

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

Volatility

Trade Through Volatility: Eliminate Freezes with a Dedicated Optimus Futures VPS. Stable through market volatility.

Don't let platform freezes during CPI, FOMC, or Non-Farm Payroll derail your futures strategy. Local PCs struggle under the data load of a fast CME session. A dedicated Optimus Futures VPS provides the consistent, powerful resources needed to process intense market data smoothly, ensuring reliable order execution and platform responsiveness when it counts. All of it runs with 99.999% uptime, delivered from top-tier datacenters with redundant power and network and a 24/7 on-site engineering team; a local PC in an office cannot offer that.

Illustration // sample prices

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.
  3. Step 3: Fill, on the tape and the chartYour print, your fill bubble, your open position.

Execution

Get Filled on the Price You Expect with Our Optimus Futures VPS. Optimized low-latency routing.

Slippage on ES, NQ, and CL can turn a winning futures strategy into a losing one. Our Chicago Optimus Futures VPS, with 0.52ms latency to CME, keeps your Rithmic and CQG order routes as short as possible, so orders from Optimus Flow, NinjaTrader, or Sierra Chart reach the exchange closer to your intended price.

Illustration with sample prices, not live market data. The route figure is the published typical figure for Chicago, USA, not a live measurement. Latency shortens the route; it does not guarantee a fill or a price.

Questions & Answers

Optimus VPS FAQ.

Optimus questions, answered
Sound familiar?5 common ones

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

Your platform keeps running. Log back in from any device.

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

Install the platform approved for your specific Optimus account, then configure its assigned data and routing service. The VPS hosts that application; it does not replace the brokerage or provide account access.

Confirm each application’s license and the account’s supported connections first. Parallel sessions may be restricted by the data service. If permitted, size for both workspaces and keep order ownership clear.

Use the selected platform’s export or backup process, then restore on the VPS. Check connection credentials, account mappings, and custom indicators after import instead of copying settings without verification.

No. Exchange subscriptions and broker permissions remain separate. Confirm the instruments and depth data available to your account before choosing an order-flow configuration.

A compact DOM consumes different resources than multiple footprint charts and historical analysis panels. Measure your chosen front end, include companion tools, and keep headroom for fast futures sessions.

Use an interface supported by the account’s platform and routing arrangement. Validate strategy permissions with the provider and test risk controls and recovery. A VPS alone does not enable an unsupported automation feature.
