Chicago Trading VPS for Futures and
TradingView Automation
PickMyTrade partners with TradoxVPS to give futures and automation traders a Chicago-based, CME-proximal server that stays online 24/7. Host TradingView in a browser, your broker platform for Tradovate, Rithmic or Interactive Brokers, and your own scripts on a low-latency Windows VPS, so your setup keeps running even when your home PC is off. PickMyTrade itself runs in the cloud and processes your order in under 200ms on our side, so a VPS is optional for the automation. Your total fill time still depends on your broker, network latency, and how quickly TradingView sends the alert.

What is a trading VPS, and do futures traders need one?
A trading VPS (virtual private server) is an always-on Windows computer that lives in a professional data center instead of on your desk. You log in remotely and run your trading tools on it: a browser with TradingView, your broker's desktop platform, or your own scripts and indicators. Because the data center has redundant power and internet, everything you run on the VPS keeps executing 24/7, even when your home PC is asleep, your Wi-Fi drops, or the power goes out.
For automated and futures traders, that always-on reliability is the whole point. A missed reconnect during a fast market can cost far more than a month of VPS hosting. A trading VPS in a Chicago data center also sits physically close to the CME futures matching engine, which trims network latency for the platforms hosted on the server.
One honest note up front: PickMyTrade's own automation is cloud-hosted and does not require a VPS. If all you do is fire TradingView alerts into your broker through PickMyTrade, it already runs 24/7 without one. A trading VPS is still useful for the tools around your automation, which is what the rest of this page is about.
What to look for in the best VPS for trading
Not every server is built for trading. When you compare a trading VPS, these are the things that actually move the needle:
Location and low latency
For US futures, the best VPS is usually one in a Chicago data center near the CME. A short hop between your platform and the exchange is what people mean by a "low latency VPS". If you trade CME products, Chicago proximity matters more than raw specs.
Uptime and reliability
Look for redundant power and network, 24/7 monitoring, and strong published uptime, so a "24/7 trading VPS" really is available around the clock.
Specs that match your workload
A modern CPU (TradoxVPS uses the AMD Ryzen 9950X), DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSD storage matter when you run several charts, platforms or strategies at once. Pick the plan whose RAM and CPU fit how much you actually run, not the biggest plan by default.
Windows support
Most futures platforms are Windows-only, so a "Windows VPS for trading" with enough memory to run them smoothly is the norm.
Support and setup
A provider that provisions quickly and answers when something breaks is worth more than a few dollars saved, especially during a live session.

Trading VPS use cases
Futures VPS
A Chicago location and fast hardware keep CME futures platforms responsive through high-volume sessions like the open and major news. This is the classic reason futures traders rent a VPS.
Tradovate VPS
Run the Tradovate web or desktop app on an always-on server. If you automate Tradovate with PickMyTrade, the automation is already cloud-based, so the VPS is for hosting your charts and tools, not required for the trades themselves. TradingView to Tradovate automation.
Rithmic VPS
Rithmic platforms are Windows desktop apps, so a Windows trading VPS keeps them logged in and connected around the clock instead of tying them to your home machine. TradingView to Rithmic.
TradingView VPS
Keep a browser open to TradingView on the VPS so your charts, alerts and screeners never sleep. Pair it with PickMyTrade to turn those alerts into live orders on your broker. TradingView automation.
Prop firm VPS
Running several evaluations or funded accounts is easier from one always-on server. PickMyTrade connects to accounts on Tradovate, Rithmic and ProjectX, which many prop firms run on. Copy trading and automation rules vary by prop firm and change over time, so always confirm your firm's current policy.
24/7 trading VPS
Markets like futures and crypto run nearly around the clock. A VPS keeps your platforms and scripts live overnight and through the weekend, with no home PC required.

Support and Responsibilities
PickMyTrade's automation runs in the cloud, so the VPS is optional and mainly hosts the tools around it.
TradoxVPS
- VPS infrastructure and provisioning in Chicago
- Hardware performance (Ryzen 9950X, DDR5, NVMe)
- Network uptime, latency, and server maintenance
- Server-level technical support
PickMyTrade

Do you need a VPS to run PickMyTrade? An honest answer
No. PickMyTrade is cloud-native. Once you connect your broker accounts and paste a TradingView webhook alert, PickMyTrade executes your trades from its own servers, 24/7, even when your computer is switched off. There is no bot to keep running on your desktop and no VPS to rent for the automation itself.
So when is a VPS still worth it? A few honest cases:
- You want to keep TradingView open in a browser around the clock, on a machine that never sleeps.
- You run custom scripts, indicators or bots that are not cloud-hosted and need to stay running.
- You use a broker desktop platform, such as Interactive Brokers TWS, that needs to stay logged in.
- You simply want a stable, always-on Windows environment separate from your home PC and internet.
In those cases, TradoxVPS is a clean fit alongside PickMyTrade. But if your only goal is to fire TradingView alerts into Tradovate, Rithmic or another supported broker, you can do that with TradingView automation alone. A VPS is optional, not required, and we would rather tell you that than sell you something you do not need.
Trading VPS options at a glance
This is a fit-for-purpose guide, not a ranking. Pick the option whose plan and support match your setup, or skip the VPS entirely if PickMyTrade's cloud automation already covers what you need.
| Option | Location | Hardware / basis | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| TradoxVPS | Chicago (CME-proximal) | AMD Ryzen 9950X, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD | Futures traders who want a fast, always-on Windows VPS to host TradingView, broker desktop apps and scripts |
| QuantVPS | Chicago-based trading VPS | See the QuantVPS page for current plans and specs | Traders comparing another established Chicago trading-VPS option |
| No VPS (PickMyTrade cloud) | PickMyTrade's own cloud servers | Managed by PickMyTrade | Traders who only need TradingView-to-broker webhook automation and want zero setup or hosting cost |
QuantVPS and TradoxVPS are both Chicago trading VPS options; either can host your platforms well. Choose on plan size, support and price, or rely on PickMyTrade's cloud automation if a VPS is more than you need.
Trading VPS FAQ
A trading VPS is an always-on Windows computer in a professional data center that you log into remotely to run your trading platforms, TradingView in a browser, or custom scripts. It keeps working 24/7 even when your home PC is off or your internet drops. You need one if you rely on desktop platforms or scripts that must stay online, or you want a stable environment separate from your home setup. If you only automate TradingView alerts to your broker through PickMyTrade, that runs in the cloud already, so a VPS is optional.
For US futures, the best VPS is usually one in a Chicago data center close to the CME, with strong uptime, a modern CPU, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD storage, and enough resources to run your platforms smoothly. TradoxVPS is built to this spec on AMD Ryzen 9950X hardware in Chicago. The right plan depends on how many charts, platforms and strategies you run at once.
No. PickMyTrade runs in the cloud and executes your trades from its own servers 24/7, even when your computer is off, so you do not need a VPS for the automation itself. A VPS like TradoxVPS is useful if you also want to keep TradingView open in a browser around the clock, run non-cloud scripts, or host a broker desktop app, but it is optional, not required.
A Chicago data center is the usual choice, because it sits close to the CME futures matching engine and keeps network latency low for the platforms you host on the server. TradoxVPS is Chicago-based and CME-proximal for this reason. Remember that PickMyTrade's own automation is cloud-hosted, so for pure webhook trading the VPS location mainly matters for tools you run on the VPS yourself.
Yes. Because a VPS lives in a data center with redundant power and internet, anything you run on it, such as a browser with TradingView, a broker platform or a custom script, keeps running 24/7 whether or not your home PC is on. If your automation runs through PickMyTrade instead, it already executes in the cloud around the clock without a VPS.
