CME co-Location Services

Advantage Futures has a significant amount of cabinet space at the CME Colocation facility for its clients. I would check them out at www.advantagefutures.com or call 312-347-4800. They can also offer advice on setting up your computer hardware if speed is important.
 
I would 2nd looking into Advantage. I am not currently a customer, but have been in the past and will attest to a reliable honest company. I had to take a break from trading due to family issues, and was out of trading. As I get back and ramp up my trading I am heading back to Advantage. They are open to negotiating rates, so talk to them.

Hello,

I am curious what alternatives exist to the Rithmic/EOTPRO offering. Any offerings with higher/better technical specs? Cheaper prices?

Other than reducng latency, what are other benefits/

Also, if not trading DMA i.e. trading through say TT or T4's API, which means your trades go to the CTS/T4 or TT server first before going to the CME's matching engine, is co-locating at the CME really of any benefit?

Thank you.

[jjw] I am not aware of any other VPS offerings. Some FCMs and brokers offer the use of dedicated servers but I am not aware of their specs. Our research showed that others' dedicated server offerings tended to run about $2,000 per month.

Other than reducng latency, what are other benefits/
[jjw] Reduced latency yes, but more specifically, reduced latency at greatly reduced prices and no commitment compared to doing it yourself.

Also, if not trading DMA i.e. trading through say TT or T4's API, which means your trades go to the CTS/T4 or TT server first before going to the CME's matching engine, is co-locating at the CME really of any benefit?
[jjw] If the system to which your front end connects is also located in the Aurora data center, then there is reduced latency communicating with such systems.

Thank you.
