Execution services & tools
We can supply a virtual computer service designed for fast execution. It will be 1 millisecond away from Tradestation data servers.
Optional
1) VPN only login
Skip this step and go to 2) MSTSC below if VPN is not used.
The advantage of the VPN login is greater protection against external hacking threats.
It is critical to not use VM for non trading purposes, as if the external IP address gets treated as a spamming IP, this may will end up
banning all VM's on this IP address. Should this happen, your VM service will be instantly & permanently terminated.
In most cases Radmin VPN will be pre-installed on the VM.
If its not installed, download Radmin VPN
Part 1.
Installing Radmin VPN on the VM. This step should have already been done, and the IP address (In purple below), Network name and password should have been given to you already, so go to part 2 below.
When its running, you will come up with a screen like this.
Hit No on networks, and copy the magenta IP address 26.15.... into the field used in MSTSC below. (magenta box below)
Note all users will have a unique magenta Ip address.
Now click on create network (orange)
Enter in your details here. You need to choose a unique name for the vpn name, and a complex password.
Part2. Install Radmin on your local PC
Now go to your local PC. Install Radmin VPN and Join the network you have made above.
This will end up looking like this
2) MSTC (Microsoft Terminal Server Client)
hit the windows key then R
or do start run
Type in mstsc
enter your IP address. (Radmin uses,see magenta above 26.159...64)
click show options
Be careful if you allow me save credentials. This is convenient, but it means anyone who has access to your pc, can also access your VM
Optional,
change the resolution to suit you.
