Keep your trading platform running 24/7 on a server in a Chicago data center, close to CME. It works with the same Rithmic, CQG or Teton login you use with Discount Trading.
Open an AccountA VPS (virtual private server) is a Windows computer that runs in a data center instead of on your desk. You connect to it with Remote Desktop from your PC, Mac or phone, and your platform keeps running there whether you are connected or not. That keeps automated strategies and alerts live, keeps home internet and power problems from knocking you offline, and puts your platform a short hop from CME's matching engine in the Chicago area.
A VPS doesn't change your Discount Trading account. Your commissions, margins, routing and trade desk all stay the same. It's just where your platform runs, closer to the exchange.
Windows VPS hosting built for traders, 0.52 ms from Chicago to CME Globex. Pick R | Trader Pro, Sierra Chart, Quantower or another supported platform at checkout and it comes pre-installed.
