Speedy Trading Servers is a credible specialist choice for a lean Windows trading setup near Chicago or New Jersey. Its strongest case is physical proximity paired with real Windows Server access and pre-installed NinjaTrader. Its weakest point is evidence: current uptime, route stability, and market-hours support are not independently documented.

Who is Speedy Trading Servers

Speedy Trading Servers is a specialized trading host operated by ALGORDIEN S.A.R.L. from Le Rheu, France. France's official company register records ALGORDIEN as an active company created in 2012 – while the exact launch year of the Speedy Trading Servers brand remains unverified. The service sells trading-only virtual and dedicated servers in Chicago and New Jersey rather than a broad general-cloud catalogue.

Start with the need question. A remote server can keep a platform and protective orders running when a home connection fails, yet an end-of-day trader with stable equipment may gain little. Our guide to whether you need a VPS for prop-firm trading covers that gate before the hosting comparison.

At a glance

The provider gets the core trading-hosting decisions right: genuine Windows VPS plans, Chicago and New Jersey locations, remote desktop access, and NinjaTrader plus IB TWS installed. The entry plan is resource-light, and the public evidence does not establish a current uptime record, independently measured latency, or emergency support performance. It deserves consideration for venue proximity, followed by a trial and a direct support-hours check before live deployment.

Fit and who can use it

Yes, this is a real Windows VPS. The current price page lists Windows Server on every VPS tier, although it does not identify the version; the dedicated tiers specify Windows Server 2022 – that clears the decisive compatibility gate for NinjaTrader, MT4-style MetaTrader use, MultiCharts, Sierra Chart, and other Windows applications. The site names MetaTrader without specifying a version, so current MT5 support is not verified.

Chicago is the logical region for CME futures traders using Chicago-hosted CQG, Rithmic, TT, or similar feed infrastructure. New Jersey is aimed at equities and forex routes around Mahwah, Carteret, Secaucus, and Connecticut. A trader whose broker gateway sits in London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, or another region should test the complete route because proximity to an exchange does not guarantee proximity to the broker's gateway. Swing and end-of-day traders who shut down flat can often skip a VPS and avoid its monthly fee.

Latency and proximity

The provider says its Chicago servers are in the downtown area and describes them as 1 ms from CME order-matching and broker gateway infrastructure. Its FAQ says latency to Chicago-based data servers is typically below 1 ms, while the homepage quotes around 1.10 ms to FXCM and 2.30 ms to Interactive Brokers from New Jersey. Every one of those figures is vendor-quoted, not a BullTraders measurement. We found no current third-party route test or stability history.

A short ping can reduce transport delay and variability between the platform and feed. It does not measure order-queue position, broker processing, internet congestion elsewhere, platform load, or fill quality. For a discretionary trader, reliability and a clean broker route usually matter more than chasing a fraction of a millisecond. Request a trial, ping the actual data-feed endpoint, and watch packet loss through the hours you trade.

Uptime, redundancy and connection failures

The provider states no public uptime SLA, so there is no contractual percentage to convert into permitted downtime minutes. It also gives no current public detail on redundant power, carrier failover, host failover, backup policy, or DDoS capacity. A provider-authored incident post disclosed two Chicago network outages of about three minutes each in September 2018 after claiming full uptime earlier that year. That old disclosure shows welcome transparency, though it cannot establish present-day reliability. No independent uptime monitor or current status history was found.

A healthy VPS can keep desktop automation running during a home internet outage. Orders already held by a broker or exchange may remain active without either computer; locally simulated stops and automated amendments need the platform and its data connection. NinjaTrader documents these order-location differences. Host, feed and broker failures still matter, and a VPS cannot guarantee a fill or prevent a drawdown breach.

Platform and prop-firm support

Windows Server provides the right base for NinjaTrader and other Windows-native trading software. The provider says NinjaTrader and Interactive Brokers TWS are installed, and names TradeStation, CTS T4, MultiCharts, Sierra Chart, MarketDelta, Trade Navigator, eSignal, AmiBroker, TT X_Trader, MTPredictor, and MetaTrader as software customers may install. Its compatibility section also names CQG and IQFeed, while the FAQ mentions Rithmic among Chicago-hosted feeds.

The provider publishes NinjaTrader replication tools, including an NT8 network replicator, which supports multi-account and trade-copier use cases. Technical compatibility does not equal permission from a funded-account provider. We found no current named prop-firm certification, so verify VPS, IP, copier, and account-access rules with the firm in our prop-firm directory and confirm software requirements in our platform directory.

Plans and pricing

All include a 50 GB SSD and Windows Server. The dedicated options add much more RAM and disclose specific Xeon E3-class processors, making them relevant to heavier automation rather than a single retail workspace.

The FAQ offers a screened one-week free trial and says an extension may be possible. The legal terms say subscriptions are month to month, all sales are final, and any partial or full refund is discretionary. That is a trial-before-payment case, since the refund policy offers little certainty after purchase.

Consider an illustrative funded-trader budget, with assumptions separated from vendor pricing. Add the sourced $60 Medium VPS to an estimated $150 combined evaluation and activation cost amortized over six months, or $25 per month, plus an estimated $55 per month for platform and data. The illustrative total is $140 per month. Replace both estimates with the exact firm, platform, and feed invoices; the example shows how infrastructure can be modest beside a repeated evaluation fee, while still demanding proof that the small VPS can run the workspace.

Setup and support

The legal page promises VPS credentials within one business day after payment and dedicated credentials within two business days. Remote Desktop access is standard, and the homepage says NinjaTrader and IB TWS are already installed. A prepared user can enter licences, configure the feed, import indicators, and reach a first chart without building Windows from scratch. This is a managed starting point, although customers still handle their own platform configuration and trading software.

Registered users receive a ticket portal with tracking and request history. The legal page also lists email and phone contact, and the homepage says customers receive email, Skype, and phone details. Public pages state no operating hours, response target, or market-hours emergency commitment, and independent reports did not fill that gap. Ask who responds during the Chicago morning, overnight futures sessions, and major releases before relying on the service for a funded account.

What traders say

One r/FuturesTrading comment from 2024 presented Speedy Trading Servers with NinjaTrader and upgraded Rithmic data as a typical setup for latency-sensitive event trading. It was a favorable technical reference rather than a customer review and included no measured latency, outage history, billing account, or support response time. The provider's own 2018 outage disclosure and final-sale terms therefore carry more practical weight than a nonexistent review consensus.

Who it suits

Speedy Trading Servers is worth evaluating for a hosted NinjaTrader workspace with a clear requirement for continuity. Test the actual chart and indicator load before choosing an entry configuration, and read the trial and purchase terms first.

Several platform instances, copying processes and a large tick-history workload need more memory and CPU headroom. Confirm allocation and route performance with the provider. If no local trading process needs to stay online while you are away, you may be able to skip the recurring bill.

Our verdict

Speedy Trading Servers has the right specialist shape: genuine Windows hosting, useful US trading locations, pre-installed software, and a trial. Chicago futures traders with a simple NinjaTrader setup have the clearest reason to shortlist it.

Evidence restraint drives the verdict. The company publishes no current SLA, independent uptime record, measured latency study, resource-allocation guarantee, or market-hours support target. The entry hardware is also tight for modern multi-instance use. Trial the precise feed route and workspace, demand answers on support and host contention, and move live risk only after stability testing.

FAQ

Does Speedy Trading Servers offer a real Windows VPS?
Yes. Every listed VPS plan includes Windows Server, though the VPS version is not stated. Dedicated plans list Windows Server 2022.

Does it support NinjaTrader 8?
Yes. NinjaTrader is pre-installed, and the provider publishes an NT8 network-replication tool. Confirm your licence, feed, add-ons, and copier rules before going live.

Does it support MetaTrader 5?
Current MT5 support is not explicitly stated. The site names MetaTrader without specifying a version, so ask the provider to confirm MT5 before purchase.

How close is it to CME?
The provider places its servers in downtown Chicago and quotes latency around or below 1 ms to relevant Chicago infrastructure. Those figures are vendor claims, and BullTraders found no independent benchmark.

Is there a free trial or money-back guarantee?
The FAQ describes a screened one-week free trial that may be extended. The legal terms say all sales are final and refunds are discretionary, so there is no stated money-back guarantee.

Can I use it with a prop firm?
The Windows environment can run common prop-firm platforms, including NinjaTrader. No named prop-firm certification was found, so confirm the firm's VPS, IP, remote-access, and trade-copier rules first.
