    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.

  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

Run Rithmic-connected platforms 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 supported front end

    Use R | Trader Pro or the platform approved for your account, and complete any required data agreements.

  3. Select the assigned connection

    Enter the supplied system and gateway details. Verify plugin settings if required, and test quotes and account access before trading.

  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 Rithmic?

A Rithmic VPS runs a Rithmic-connected front end, such as R | Trader Pro or another supported trading platform. Rithmic supplies connectivity outside the VPS; your broker or prop firm supplies the account permissions. The VPS hosts your client and its workspace, not the Rithmic network.

Choosing the best VPS for Rithmic

Size for the front end and depth-of-market workload. Confirm the correct Rithmic system, gateway, and simultaneous-connection rules with your account provider. Compare latency to that gateway, and do not assume every Rithmic login supports every platform or plugin configuration.

Built for Rithmic

Optimized for Rithmic.

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

Performance Hardware

What changes when Rithmic runs on QuantVPS.

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

Volatility

Handle Full Rithmic Data Bursts at the Open Without Freezing. Stable through market volatility.

Rithmic delivers unfiltered tick data, and the CME open, CPI, and FOMC turn that into the message bursts that lock up underpowered PCs with positions on. A dedicated Rithmic VPS gives your platform dedicated CPU, memory, and network on enterprise-grade hardware in top-tier datacenters with 24/7 on-site engineering; that is what 99.999% uptime is built on. A single platform runs comfortably on VPS Lite+; multi-platform copier setups size up to VPS Pro+ or Ultra+.

QuantVPS // Order execution

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

Rithmic Is Built for Speed. Give It a Rithmic VPS That Keeps Up. Optimized low-latency routing.

Traders pick Rithmic because its order routing is among the fastest in retail futures, and then give half that speed back by connecting from a home PC across the public internet. A Rithmic VPS in our Chicago datacenter puts your platform 0.52ms from CME, so orders from R | Trader Pro, NinjaTrader, or any Rithmic-connected front end reach the exchange as fast as the technology allows. Your platform-to-Rithmic-gateway hop is the only leg of the route into CME's Aurora matching engines you control, and it is the one we build for.

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

Rithmic VPS FAQ.

Rithmic 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.

Rithmic supplies market-data and order-routing technology used by supported platforms and clients. Your VPS hosts the selected front end, such as a supported terminal or Rithmic application, rather than hosting the Rithmic network itself.

Use the exact system, environment, and credentials supplied by your broker or prop firm. Live and evaluation connections can differ. Confirm required agreements and permissions before troubleshooting the terminal or VPS.

Concurrent connections are governed by the provider and account arrangement. Check session limits and supported connection methods before opening multiple applications. Do not assume a VPS removes simultaneous-login restrictions.

Verify each account’s rules, symbol mapping, contract multipliers, order acknowledgement, and recovery after a disconnect. Check actual follower positions rather than assuming a copied submission produced a matching fill.

Detailed depth streams and order-flow applications can consume substantial processing and memory. Size for the consuming platform, subscribed instruments, and recording workload; a simple connection client alone is not representative.

Chicago is relevant to many supported futures gateway workflows. Select the account-authorized endpoint and test its route from the VPS. Broker processing and exchange behavior remain outside the host’s latency measurement.
