Anyone have tried digitalocean.com and can give their assessment of their VPS services? I am currently testing commercialnetworkservices.com, but not sure I need to pay 35 USD a month if digitalocean is good enough. But is digitalocean.com suitable for trading?

Good evening, I need to assess which VPS service I should go for since I am trading from Norway, Europe and trade mostly Forex and Futures on the US markets, where the physical location for the exchanges would be in Chicago. Since I am using IB (Interactive Brokers) as my online broker, I would...

I have already purchased it, on a lease plan for now.

Great reply, I will do exactly this, and import these alerts in my strategy. Once I have worked with it for a while, I will look into more full automation and share my findings with you RedDuke. Can I ask you one more thing: Which VPS would you recommend that never crashes, and has a decent...

So basically you have all 3 potential failures (no connection to IB, no connection to datafeed and if VPS is down) covered through alerts to email/sms. But there is no automation and you basically log in and start it over manually as soon as you can?

Now it finally worked, grateful to your help RedDuke. Many thanks!

Thanks for reply RedDuke. I added my machine IP to the API settings inside IB Gateway. Then i setup a new connection within NT for Interactivebrokers, only difference is that I am using port 4001 instead of 7496. But, NT still starts TWS instead of IB Gateway from inside NT. And I get error...

Good day everyone, I have established an VPS online and would like to run Ninjatrader 7 together with IB Gateway (from Interactive Brokers), instead of using TWS (main IB trading platform). I have tried IBcontroller and TWSstart and I have not come very far to be honest. Ninjatrader 7 is...
