Slippage Eats Alpha. Kill the Lag.
Trade like a market maker. Run your strategies on a VPS for algorithmic trading designed for millisecond precision. In the world of high-frequency and algorithmic trading, your strategy is only as good as your execution speed. A profitable backtest means nothing if your internet connection adds 100ms of latency. PetroSky gives you the “Exchange Floor” advantage: ultra-low latency infrastructure located in the financial data hubs that matter.
- Starts at €6.99/mo
- Cross-Connect Speeds
- Windows & Linux Available
The Cost of "Retail" Infrastructure
Running algorithms from your home office puts you at a disadvantage. The distance between your router and your broker’s server creates a delay (latency) that high-frequency firms exploit. A dedicated VPS for algorithmic trading removes this physical distance.

Global Financial Proximity
We don’t just place servers randomly. We strategically locate our VPS for algorithmic trading nodes near the world’s major financial data centers (e.g., LD4 London, NY4 New York).
London (LD4 Proximity): The heart of global Forex. Ideal for EUR/USD and GBP pairs.
New York (NY4 Proximity): The center of Equities. Perfect for NASDAQ/NYSE algos.
Execute: The order is sent to the exchange immediately.
Result: Your bot receives the tick data and sends the order before a trader in another city even sees the price move.
Deployment: From Zero to "Market Order"
Step 1: Select OS
- For MT4/MT5: Choose “Windows Server 2022” (Optimized for GUI).
- For Python: Choose “Ubuntu 22.04 LTS” (Optimized for CLI).
Step 2: Provision
Step 3: Connect
- Windows: Use RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to log in. It looks just like your home PC. Install your broker’s terminal.
- Linux: SSH in and deploy your Docker container or Python script.
Step 4: Auto-Start
Frequently Asked Questions
Slippage occurs when the price changes between the time you send an order and the time the broker receives it. By placing your VPS physically closer to the broker’s server (e.g., in the same city/datacenter), we reduce that travel time to milliseconds, ensuring your order executes at the intended price.
Yes. A standard plan with 2 vCPUs and 4GB RAM can comfortably run 4-6 optimized MT4 terminals. If you need to run backtests simultaneously, we recommend upgrading to 4 vCPUs.
If you use “off-the-shelf” platforms like MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), NinjaTrader, or cTrader, you need a Windows VPS. If you write your own algorithms in Python, C++, or Go, a Linux VPS is faster, cheaper, and more stable.
No. That is the main benefit of a VPS. The server runs 24/7 in our data center. You can close your laptop, turn off your wifi, or go on vacation, and your algorithm will continue trading without interruption.
Yes. Our Algo Trading VPS is built on high-frequency NVMe storage and utilizes premium low-latency bandwidth upstream. It is designed specifically to handle the rapid order submission required by HFT strategies.
