Performance you can assess.
Clear specifications and evidence behind the claims.
Technology × Finance.
Nitrode builds and operates businesses in financial compute infrastructure, automation, and market intelligence.
Built to help independent traders and smaller investment teams compete on more equal footing with hedge funds and larger institutions.
01OUR STORY
Traders asked. We built.
ChartVPS started with traders who wanted to automate Marko’s algorithms. The infrastructure we built for them became the foundation for a growing ecosystem of compute, automation, and market intelligence.
01 / 09FOUNDATION
First came the algorithms.
Traders wanted to automate the algorithms Marko Nikolic, now ChartVPS CEO, was building. ChartVPS grew out of that demand, giving those strategies the infrastructure to run.
ON THE RECORD
ChartVPS founded in Toronto in 2013.
02OUR PURPOSE
Professional capability. Fewer barriers.
A trader shouldn't need an institution's budget to run a serious strategy. A small research team should have access to tools that help it investigate opportunities in depth. That's what access means to us.

04OUR VALUES
What we stand for.
05 PRINCIPLES · OPEN ONE
01
Make the capability accessible.
Give smaller teams room to compete.
Independent traders and smaller teams should have room to compete. We take pricing, usability, and support as seriously as the technology itself.
Give smaller teams room to compete.
Independent traders and smaller teams should have room to compete. We take pricing, usability, and support as seriously as the technology itself.
Straight answers build trust.
Customers deserve straight answers about performance, costs, limitations, and responsibilities. A strong claim should come with enough detail to judge it.
Responsibility stays with the team.
Automation helps us run better systems. Our team remains responsible for the decisions, the service, and the response when something needs fixing.
Make the decision an informed one.
We value clear terms, flexible tools, and products that fit into the way customers work. Choosing a provider should be an informed decision.
Keep caring for what customers rely on.
A product needs care throughout its life. Maintenance, security, support, and useful improvements are part of the commitment we make when someone starts relying on it.
APPLIED ACROSS
05OPERATING RECORD
Built, deployed, supported.
Trading infrastructure gives you a close view of what customers depend on. The machine has to perform. The connection matters. When something goes wrong, someone needs to take responsibility.
ChartVPS has put those demands at the centre of our work since 2013. Its operating record gives the wider Nitrode portfolio an experienced starting point.

Build the edge. Share the upside.
We’re building an edge for independent traders and smaller investment teams. As we grow, we put that same drive behind better pay, annual giving, and smarter use of the hardware and energy we depend on.
- 01
Back the people who build.
We pay above the industry average and commit to equal pay across gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. The people building the business deserve to do well in it.
AT CHARTVPS15%+ above industry-average pay
- 02
1% of profits. Every year.
We put at least 1% of annual profits behind organizations working on climate, wildlife, and social justice. Giving has a permanent place in the business.
AT CHARTVPSOur charity partners include Rainforest Trust, Sea Shepherd, and Shades of Hope
- 03
Make every watt work.
Scaling compute means thinking about power and cooling from the start. We colocate with operators that have efficiency programs and renewable-energy targets.
AT CHARTVPSOur data-center partners include CoreSite, Equinix, TierPoint, Deft, QTS, and Digital Realty
- 04
Get more from every machine.
We keep hardware in service while it meets the workload. When we buy new equipment, we favor suppliers with responsible sourcing practices.
AT CHARTVPSWorkload fit. Useful life. Responsible sourcing.
07GROWTH
We grow by adding capability.
Running infrastructure teaches you where the friction is. Servers need better monitoring. Automated strategies need dependable computing environments. Investment research needs tools that make market data easier to examine.
Those needs help guide what we build next. We look for opportunities where our experience gives us a useful starting point and where a product can earn a place in a customer's working day.
Strengthen what customers already depend on.
Improve the performance, reliability, and service behind our established brands.
Turn operating experience into useful products.
Develop monitoring, automation, and research tools around problems we understand.
Expand into demanding compute workloads.
Build capabilities for applications where hardware, configuration, and workload fit make a meaningful difference.
