Hi,

I want to try automated trading using co-located server for CME. Can you guys point me in the right direction? I researched quite a bit and still not finding what I am looking for.

I have automated trading studies ready for sierra chart and want to test it out. I know Teton is quite fast also and not sure if it is even worth it to pay for the server.

Any advise is appreciated.

Our recommendation is just to get a server somewhere in Chicago. If you want to get a server Aurora DC3 it probably would be about 1500USD a month .

Take a look at this thread:
VPS / dedicated server in Chicago

Also, some brokers offer colocated servers.

Thank you for the response. How can i test the actual performance of my VPS? i posted this same question in another thread but have not gotten any response.

Is there a an IP address i can ping or is there another method i can use to measure how fast my orders are going through from chicago VPS vs sending from california or new york?
