Remote Server Automated Trading

Quote from TickJob:

I contact http://www.vpsland.com they said there are many IB customers host their TWS there, how may of you here really do this?

But, then, I asked IB, IB said TWS does not work in Windows 2003 Server. Who is right, who is wrong?

Not only am I running TWS on Windows '03 server enterprise, I am running it on the 64-bit version.

Who is right, who is wrong? Is it clear now?

"As for power outages, get a good UPS with a daisy chained backup."

No -- that's just terrible advice. In almost all cases, you shouldn't plug a UPS into another UPS, it gains you nothing and introduces a whole lot of problems. Both batteries will drain at the same time anyway and gain you no time whatsoever (on a modified sine wave UPS, which almost all are.)

Here's what APC says about this:

Also, never plug a laser printer into a UPS.

The term is "Cascading Capabilities", "offline", and is supported by APC, Tripp Lite etc. Daisy chain is probably the wrong word because it conveys that people should plug UPS into each other with them all on. The idea is no different than laptops that can have more than one battery in them, and the other "fails over" when the other runs out of juice.

For example:

People talk about pure sine wave UPS. You don't need those for typical computer equipment.
