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 Sierra Chart: 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.

Workflow stage
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 or open the application, sign in with your Sierra Chart account, and confirm your service package.
Set the correct Data/Trade Service, restore chartbooks and custom studies, and validate symbols and routing in simulation.
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.
Consider chartbook size, stored intraday data, market-depth history, and study calculations. Use NVMe storage and allow room for historical files. Choose the connection settings and server location around the data or trading service your account actually uses.
Sierra Chart arrives installed on Windows Server 2025 or 2022, ready to log in. Choose from 40+ Windows platform templates at checkout.

Sierra Chart's Trade Account Monitor 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.

Backups
Chartbooks, custom studies, alert configurations, and historical data take hours to reconstruct. On every VPS plan, automatic off-site backups capture your entire Sierra Chart VPS. A disk failure or bad update then means a quick restore rather than a weekend of rebuilding.
Remote Desktop on Windows
Access
Keep Sierra Chart running around the clock on your Sierra Chart VPS with your chartbooks, studies, and data connections loaded. Our web control panel and included RDP access give you full command from a laptop, phone, or iPad. You can check a position or adjust an alert without involving your home PC.
