Frankfurt Trading VPS

Frankfurt VPS for Eurex, DAX and EU Session Trading

Frankfurt is where European derivatives actually trade. Eurex runs its matching engine here, Deutsche Börse runs Xetra here, and DE-CIX, Europe’s largest internet exchange, sits in the same city. If you trade DAX or Eurex futures, or run strategies through the European session, our Frankfurt VPS puts your platform in the right metro, on a short direct path to the venues your orders are heading for.

The location advantage

Why Frankfurt - the home of Eurex, not most forex brokers

Frankfurt is the centre of German and European exchange trading. Eurex hosts its T7 matching engine at the Equinix FR2 data centre, and Deutsche Börse Xetra runs its cash equities on the same platform in the same building. If you trade DAX futures, Euro Stoxx or the Bund complex, this is the metro your orders are heading to. It is also one of the busiest network hubs on earth. DE-CIX Frankfurt is Europe’s largest internet exchange, peaking at 18.73 terabits per second in December 2025 and connecting close to 1,100 networks. That gives a Frankfurt VPS exceptionally clean routing to European brokers, data feeds and APIs.

The location advantage Frankfurt metro · Offenbach / Equinix FR2 / DE-CIX

Eurex and Xetra live here

The T7 matching engine for Eurex and Xetra runs in Equinix FR2, Frankfurt. Our Frankfurt VPS keeps your DAX and Eurex platform in the same metro as the exchange.

Metro, not colocation

We are in the Frankfurt metro, not inside Equinix FR2. If your strategy needs an in-building cross-connect to the matching engine, you need colocation, and we will tell you so.

DE-CIX on the doorstep

Frankfurt hosts DE-CIX, Europe’s largest internet exchange and one of the largest anywhere. That means well-peered routes to every European broker, feed and API your platform talks to.

Location comparison

Frankfurt vs other VPS locations for Eurex and EU brokers

Where you host changes your distance to your broker’s server. If you trade Eurex or a broker hosted in Germany, Frankfurt is the closest of our locations. If your broker is in London, our London VPS will beat it.

Our Frankfurt servers sit in maincubes FRA01 in Offenbach, about 4 km straight-line from the Equinix FR2 campus where Eurex and Xetra run. We have not yet published a measured feed round trip; it will appear here with the date. The other rows are typical ranges for the route, not measurements. Most forex brokers host in London, which is why London is marked best for forex. Take a free 3-day box and check your own broker before you commit.

Core Values

What Drives TradoxVPS

Our commitment to excellence is built on these fundamental principles

Ryzen 9 9950X CPU

Every plan runs the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (Zen 5), boosting to 5.7 GHz — top-tier single-thread speed for charting, indicators, and Expert Advisors, not the recycled server CPUs many hosts run.

Ultra-Low Latency

We don’t stamp an unverifiable number on the page. Instead we give you a live Latency Checker to measure the round-trip to the CME from your own location before you buy.

99.999% Uptime

99.999% Uptime Target Redundant power and network, monitored 24/7 — and we publish our real, measured availability so you can verify it, not just trust it.

Advanced Network

Up to 3 Gbps of throughput (10 Gbps burst) with a dedicated IPv4 that’s yours alone — no NAT, no shared-IP reputation, no noisy neighbours competing for your market-data feed.

Ideal For

Is a Frankfurt VPS right for you?

A Frankfurt VPS is ideal for:

Trading DAX/Eurex futures: FDAX, FDXM, FDXS, FESX, FGBL, FGBM, FGBS

Trading Xetra-listed German equities or EU index and bond derivatives

Using a broker whose server is actually in Germany or Central Europe

Running strategies through the EU session and want DE-CIX routing

Keeping a second EU node for redundancy alongside LD/AMS

The right location is the one closest to your broker’s server, not the one closest to you. If you are not sure where your broker’s endpoint is, check the server name in your platform or ask their support, then measure it.

Latency Advantage

Why the number depends on your route, not on us

Our Frankfurt servers sit in the same metro as the Equinix FR2 campus, where Eurex and Xetra run. That keeps the path short. But how short depends on how you reach the exchange, because retail traders don’t connect to Eurex directly. You go through a futures broker and a feed, and that feed’s own infrastructure is part of the trip. For forex it is simpler and less flattering to Frankfurt. Most brokers host in London, so for those brokers our London VPS will be faster, and we would rather tell you that than sell you the wrong location.

Quick Answers

Frequently asked questions

Straightforward answers to common questions. Don’t see yours? Just reach out.

Is your Frankfurt VPS inside Equinix FR2?

No. We are in the Frankfurt metro, in a carrier-neutral facility with DE-CIX connectivity, not inside the building where Eurex runs. Institutional firms with cabinets in FR2 reach the matching engine over an internal cross-connect, which is shorter than our path. For most retail strategies that difference is not what decides your results, but if you need in-building colocation you should buy colocation, and we would rather say so than blur the distinction. We are not affiliated with Deutsche Börse, Eurex or Equinix.

What latency should I expect to Eurex?

It depends on how you reach it. Retail traders don’t connect to Eurex directly; you go through a futures broker and a feed such as CQG or Interactive Brokers, and their infrastructure is part of the path. The table above shows what we measured to each route. Take a free three-day box, connect your actual platform, and measure it yourself before you pay anything.

Frankfurt or London?

Frankfurt if you trade DAX or Eurex futures, or a broker that actually hosts in Germany. London if you trade with a UK broker or one of the many forex brokers hosted in London LD4 and LD5, which is most of them. If you trade both, plenty of customers run one of each.

Frankfurt or Amsterdam?

Frankfurt is the Eurex and DAX location. Amsterdam is our crypto and Polymarket location, with strong general EU routing through AMS-IX. Pick by where your venue or broker sits, not by which city sounds closer.

Can I trade Eurex with NinjaTrader from Frankfurt?

Yes, through CQG or Interactive Brokers. Rithmic also carries Eurex, but only for customers of certain FCMs (Dorman, AMP, Wedbush and TheTradingPit at the time of writing), so if you’re on Rithmic through a different FCM you won’t see FDAX or FESX regardless of where your VPS is. Check with your futures broker which feed your account uses.

How do I find out where my broker's server is?

In MetaTrader, the server name in the login window often contains the data centre code, like LD4 or NY4. For futures brokers, ask their support which feed and gateway your account connects through. Do not assume from where the broker is headquartered, since many European brokers route through London regardless of where they are licensed.

Which platforms can I run?

Anything that runs on Windows or Ubuntu. Sierra Chart, NinjaTrader, MultiCharts, Interactive Brokers TWS, MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader, TradingView desktop, Quantower, and your own bots. You get full Administrator or root access.
