Strategy automation using a VPS

[Forex Ninja]

Will the strategy automation features of NT6 be able to function if the platform is run from a Virtual Private Server? If so, are there any VPSs that you would recommend?

As long as NT can connect to the broker partner (GAIN/Forex.com) for FX then there should be no issue. We do not have any VPS recommendations.

My VPS (windows server 2003) don't have Microsoft Office installed with Access and when I try to run NT I have many error (unable to connect to.....): what can I do for solve this problem?

P.s.: the firm where I have VPS cannot install Office! I can only upload into VPS any .exe file with web and run it to install any programm.

gbolla,

It sounds like you have connectivity issues to your brokerage. You will want to bring up connectivity issues to your VPS hosting service.

Isn't important if I don't have Access installed on VPS?

Hi gbolla, this should not matter.

In attach the errors that I found when try to run NT.
Capture4 is the final shot: after I must open Task Manager and Shut down the NT process .
What can I do to solve it?
Thanks

I suggest you try a 100% clean reinstall of both.

1. Uninstall NT
2. Uninstall .NET
3. Remove My Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5 (backup anything you want first)
4. Reinstall .NET 2.0 (Ensure your machine is actually a 64 bit machine, otherwise install the x86 version)
5. Reinstall NT
