dedicated server hosting close to CME area

Not sure how things are set up in the US, but internationally this claim certainly does not apply. The broker/FCM is ALWAYS in between your order entry point and the execution venue. Who else would run your pre-trade risk? To my knowledge Rithmic is a technology/system vendor and not an FCM. Unless that hunch is wrong your FCM will always be in between.

Rithmic are hosted at http://www.theomne.net/proximity-hosting/ so you can connect directly via dedicated server or vps. This would be in the Aurora location where the CME matching engine is.

Lower cost solution in Chicago is www.speedytradingservers.com or www.chicagovps.net

I would like to get a server to host R Trader Pro platform for a tests on real capital run with some automated trading algorithm. It's not a high frequency, but i want it to be make sure I am located close and work fast.

Anyone has experience with hosting providers that serve the area, connectivity options etc. I obviously will host a windows box for now.

Thanks

Rithmic has their own IT hosting. If you are using their API, this will save you money as their hosting is competitive. I had one client use them with no complaints.

The broker/FCM risk check will be on the same rithmic network in Aurora data centre.

Please bear in mind that the broker connection is the least time critical part of the futures trade cycle. Exchange to FCM has many hoops and hurdles that go way back. It is mostly position reporting and margin calcs. I think Dorman still has EOD batch reporting in it's process.

Your trade goes thru
VPS(Rtrader)===>Rithmic===>Exchange===>AMP====>Rithmic====>VPS(Rtrader)

Why does end of day batching concern you in the least? It has nothing to do with trading speed. People who know a whole lot more about this stuff than I have said Dorman is competitive with Wedbush and most if not all Chicago FCM's as far as speed.

What do you mean exactly by "work fast"? Any idea of your maximum response time you are expecting?

How much gain are you looking at compare to the speed you would get by trading from your home (assuming you're in North America)?
 
how so? And what do you mean with "rithmic network". Could you please elaborate? Rithmic is a technology vendor not an FCM or broker. Your FCM must be somewhere in between. Maybe they are in the same data center (not network) but in any case your orders must by exchange regulations go through a pre-trade risk check of an exchange/clearing member.

CME Aurora send market data to rithmic market data server on a LAN in Aurora. Rithmic market data server send it to your server or vps on the same LAN in Aurora. Your algo decides to trade and sends the order through the FCM risk check server on the same LAN and then to CME matching engine in Aurora.

so, the FCM is in between your order submission and matching engine, exactly what I said. I guess the term "on the same network" then was just misunderstood by me.
