AMP Futures VPS Hosting
Chicago-based futures broker known for supporting an unusually wide range of third-party trading platforms and data routes.
Minimum of 30 round trips to rprotocol.rithmic.com, measured August 17, 2026 from our Chicago location. Pick a different location and this figure does not apply to you.
Keep your AMP Futures platform running when you are not at the desk
- check_circle Automated futures strategies only work if the machine running them is awake. That is the entire case for hosting, and it does not depend on how fast your broker is.
- check_circle Sitting in a datacenter rather than on a domestic line cuts the round trip to the routing gateway your AMP Futures account uses.
- check_circle Platform, data feed and any order-flow tooling live on one machine you can reach by RDP from a phone, a tablet or someone else's laptop.
- check_circle Windows updates, power cuts and router reboots stop being trading events.
What hosting actually changes
Not your edge. What it removes is the category of loss that has nothing to do with your trading: the machine that was asleep, the platform that had crashed, the session that dropped while a position was open.
Always on
No Windows update at 3am, no power cut, no router reboot. The machine has been running since the day you ordered it.
Auto-restart watchdog
If the platform crashes or stops responding, the watchdog restarts it. Overnight failures are recovered in seconds rather than found in the morning.
Dedicated resources
Your CPU and RAM are not shared with a neighbour, so the open behaves the same way every day.
Measured from Chicago
Minimum of 30 round trips per target, taken August 17, 2026. An instance in the same Chicago region (Elk Grove Village, Illinois) that fxvps.biz plans are provisioned into, roughly 20 miles from 350 East Cermak where the Rithmic and CQG gateways sit. A host inside 350 East Cermak would measure lower still.
Every latency figure on this site names the location it was taken from, the host it was taken against and the date. Where we have no measurement we publish none.
Recommended for AMP Futures
Core (2GB RAM, 1 vCPU) is the plan we would start AMP Futures on. Move to Pro (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU) once a data feed client, an order-flow tool or several accounts share the machine.
Ask for Chicago if you trade CME products.
Or try the machine for $2.99 first.

What VPS plan does AMP Futures need?
expand_more
Core at $29/mo (2GB RAM, 1 vCPU) is the floor we would put AMP Futures on. Add an order-flow tool, a separate data feed client, or several accounts on the same machine and Pro at $39/mo (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU) is the sensible starting point. You can move up a plan later without rebuilding the machine.
How quickly can I be running?

Machines are provisioned in under 60 seconds and RDP credentials are emailed immediately. Installing your platform on top is a few minutes' work. There is a $2.99 trial if you would rather test the machine before committing.
