How do you secure your strategies while trading on a VPN
Posted: May 23 2016
Hi Guys,
I am considering trading via a VPN and was wondering for those who already have how do you secure your strategies. From what i've gathered MC has 2 different ways of protection namely the Password protect method or the SEF read only method.
I was wondering on the following:
1) Would this suffice for security purposes or is there another alternative which I have missed?
2) Pardon my ignorance but after securing the strategies can they be run in live trading and would there be any impact processing time? (I ask this because I see some other TS strategies using .dll files)
3) I am thinking the SEF method seems more secure since there isn't a password. But is this now compatible with all versions of MC which might be quite a hassle during upgrading of MC etc.? In this respect what would be the other drawbacks for each of the methods to consider for trading in a VPN?
Many thanks and appreciate any input.
