If my computer sucks and I dont want to buy a new one yet, how can I go about getting a "virtual machine" that sits in an outside server spected out to trading requirements where I can run ninjatrader, and trade through the server. Essentially, be at work or home and log into server and open NT and trade.

So if I lose signal my stops are still effective. Also, I want to reduce latency so probably a server based idea next to CME?

Thanks.

I got a machine from Swiftway for quite a low price, got it upgraded to 16gb and put a SSD and a 1TB disc in (i run my own virtual machines on it) and have a less than 1 ms delay to the CME location from there. Worth every penny.

@gparkis

Do you have an automated strategy or are you a discretionary trader?

I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.

In that case , You will still have the delay from where you are to the remote hosted machine.
