Eurex can be a bit of a pain from here - but to be honest, I think the problem is more down to Eurex than anything else.
If you use any of the deep discount US futures brokers - amp, mirus,infinity etc, especially those that give you XTrader for $1 a trade - then you are going to probably have some issues - like the whole thing going down on a regular
basis . It's nice to have markets that open during Asia afternoon of course but those deep discount guys are a but flaky.
IB are OK - as in there's very rarely a problem with Eurex but I hear they don't keep your stops at the exchange and I recently had a trade SLIP 23 ticks on the Bund with IB, which could well be because of stop location.
Now - if you do get a VPS next to the exchange, you will still have latency between you & the VPS. So if you are trading manually, it wont make any difference. The difference for a manual trader would be down to stop placement but really it's your broker location that really makes the difference IMO.
