VPS for Take Profit Trader
Futures funded trader programme with evaluation accounts on CME products.
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.
A disconnect can cost you the account, not just the trade
- check_circle Futures funded accounts are governed by a trailing drawdown that keeps moving against you. If your platform drops while a position is open, nobody is managing the stop and the threshold does not pause.
- check_circle Windows chooses its own moment to restart. On a home machine that moment lands in the middle of the US session often enough to matter.
- check_circle Our watchdog restarts the platform automatically if it crashes or stops responding, so a hung terminal is a few seconds of downtime instead of a session.
- check_circle Running several evaluations at once is normal in futures. One VPS holds them all in one place rather than spread across a laptop and a desktop that are never both on.
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 Take Profit Trader
Pro (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU) is the plan we would start Take Profit Trader on. Move to Scaling (8GB RAM, 4 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.
Take Profit Trader VPS — Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run Take Profit Trader on a VPS?
expand_more
Yes. Hosting the platform you trade your Take Profit Trader account on is normal practice and is not the same thing as automated or copy trading, which are governed by the firm's own rules. Check Take Profit Trader's current rulebook for what it allows on automation and account copying, because those terms change and we do not track them for you.
Which server location should I choose for Take Profit Trader?
expand_more
From Chicago we measure Rithmic 2.23ms, CQG 2.68ms, CQG (demo) 2.68ms to the order-routing gateways, taken August 17, 2026 as the minimum of 30 round trips per target. 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.
How many Take Profit Trader accounts can I run on one VPS?
expand_more
It depends on the platform rather than the firm. NinjaTrader 8 holds tick data and indicator series in memory per instance, so two or three instances on Core is realistic and more than that wants Pro or Scaling. Tell support what you actually run and we will size it rather than guess.
Does a VPS help with a trailing drawdown?
expand_more
Only indirectly, and it is worth being straight about that. Hosting does not improve your trading. What it removes is the category of loss that has nothing to do with your strategy: the disconnect that leaves a position unmanaged while the threshold keeps moving.
How quickly can I be running?
expand_more
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.
