The Cloud for Automated Trading/NT

Quote from EliteTraderNYC:

While we're on the subject, perhaps you guys can recommend a provider, here are my needs:

Ninjatrader platform trading ES futures
My system is a swing trading system trading once a day or less
Connection to broker and Kinetick data service stays connected 24/7
Limited Restarts
Low budget/Individual/nonprofessional
Security is important I don't want someone stealing my strategy
Broker is Interactive Brokers

Steadfast and SolarVPS (part of fortressITX) are both solid options.

I wouldn't worry too much about someone stealing your code. These companies are hosting thousands of clients ... If the admin wants to, he can find for sure more interesting stuff than your 1 trade/d strategy ...
 
What data center is nearest to interactive brokers? I see speedy trading servers load ib tws on their vps in Chicago next to the cme, but IB are in Connecticut so the order goes from Chicago to Connecticut and back to Chicago. Is there a faster route for ib?
 
Latency to the IB gateway from the NYC Steadfast datacenter (which is where the Speedy VPS are hosted) is around 2ms using basic tools.

It is about 12ms from the Chicago datacenter.

Any data center closer to the ib gateway in NYC?

What building is the ib gateway in?

What is the sense of that?

Seriously.

2ms means you are in front of anyone not having a machine in NYC or (in NYC) being on the end of a typical end user technology connection (as in: DSL / cable modem already add more than that).

If you want to get faster, you start talking about the HFT space, and there you fight very different battles (as in: get rid of IB, colocate in the exchange, start fighting for micro or nanesecond advantages). Your IB feed already is WAY too slow for that.

Within the non-HFT space you are as good as it gets with 2ms and pretty much ahead of everyone.
 
This is just an educated guess here but it's probably at 60 Hudson.

That being said, if your edge is dependent on latency I have no idea why you're even bothering with IB.
