Thanks @traderlange !
But I don't know who you're really are, as I had several traders who had delays in setting up a server with AMP Futures who are now using my services.
At least, it shows that the comments above are not solicited .
I am trading through Sierrachart/TTnet (AMP). My problem is I am located in Thailand, and I have occasional power outages and/or internet connection problems. I have several backup notebooks/devices and 3g backup connections. The problem is, you canīt seem to immediately reconnect TTnet on a backup pc when something goes wrong, but have to wait about one minute. I wouldnīt call myself a scalper, but I do often get in and out of positions quickly and in one or two minutes without control a lot can go wrong. TTnet does not allow two account connections/logins and there is no web based backup platform (as with CTS or CQG).
So I was wondering if it would be possible to just install my software on a VPS. I could stay connected to the VPS through more than one PC/notebook/device with different internet providers and not have to worry about losing control of my positions/pending orders. If one provider goes done on my side or power is out, the ttnet connection would still be ok and I could just continue trading from one of the backup notebooks/tablets without delay.
Just to clarify my previous answer TeamViewer/VNC/... have to be used for user who want to share their VPS desktop. This is used by trading rooms for example, when a trader is showing its desktop to multiple trading room members.
If a single user wants to access to his machine from different devices no additional software is required.
So let's say @ranger64 is connected from his PC with the Internet provider A with a bunch of charts open. If he wants to go to his swimming pool (Thailand is hot !) and check his charts with an iPad connected in 3G, then he'll connect to his server with its iPad and will get the Desktop he left on his PC. The PC session will be disconnected by the iPad session, and so on.
I think we have now 4 or 5 users in Thailand, and a bunch of users who travels a lot and want to trade or check their positions from everywhere.
I think this is a great scheme - he can also extend it by using different RDP offerings, I'm currently connected to the same trading box using GotoMyPc on a Windows laptop and Chrome Remote Desktop on a ChromeBook at the same time - works great from either, both stay live and plenty fast. I'm sure other combinations could be found that are compatible, e.g. TeamViewer, Mikogo, etc although some might not be.
I want to connect to the VPS simultaneaously from my pc and at least one more notebook, without having to first establish a connection on my notebook and/or tablet. So if something goes wrong on my main trading pc, I can just turn around and continue trading on my backup notebook or tablet, which donīt rely on the power source of my house and are connected to the VPS through a 3G or 4G connection.
That will work.
But I've just tested the connection time from my 3G Android phone to my own VPS in New Jersey, and it took around 10 seconds. That's slower than just turn around, but fast enough in most cases.
