A VPS in Chicago shortens the distance between your platform and CME, which cuts the time it takes your order to get there. It does not guarantee a fill price. Fills depend on the market, your order type and liquidity at the time.

No. QuantVPS is a separate company. Discount Trading receives compensation for referrals to QuantVPS. See the disclosure at the bottom of this page.
QuantVPS is an independent company and is not owned by, affiliated with, or controlled by Discount Trading. VPS hosting is provided solely by QuantVPS under its own terms of service. Discount Trading does not operate, manage, monitor or support the VPS, and does not guarantee its availability, speed, latency, uptime, backups or performance.

You are responsible for the security of your VPS, including your Remote Desktop login, passwords and anything you install on it. Use a strong, unique password, never share your login, and keep your platform and Windows updated. If your VPS or credentials are compromised, orders can be placed in your account. You are responsible for all trades placed in your account through your credentials, whether entered by you, an automated strategy, or anyone else using your login.
A VPS can reduce the distance between your platform and the exchange, but it does not guarantee fills, prices, execution speed or trading results. Connection problems, platform errors and market conditions can still cause orders to be delayed, rejected or filled at prices you did not expect.
Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Only risk capital should be used. You could lose more than your initial investment. Automated trading strategies carry additional risk. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
