NT8 connect in China

[WNorton]

Hello,

I will be spending a few months in China this fall and I was wondering if I will have any connection problems wen I arrive. I trade the US Futures Market RTY RS and CL. Do I need a VPN? Anyone have any experience with this?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

A lot of data providers have servers in Singapore for overseas users to get a better data connection than if they were connected to a US-based server. You'd want to reach out directly to your broker for questions regarding switching over to this if applicable; from a NinjaTrader platform standpoint, we have many international users that do not require a VPS in order to use the software successfully.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

AFAIK, VPN is a criminal offence in China. period.

timko In some cases yes. I have been working there for 5 years and most if not all national and foreigners use VPNS

[timko]

you may say so, if that's government-approved. ;-)

I want to view the data of China futures, what should I do? With which data provider can this be done?

Hello lfbxindekaishi,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Unfortunately, we wouldn't have a lot information about which specific data providers may support those instruments. I'd recommend contacting the individual supported brokers/data providers directly to see which instruments they support.

Please let us know if we may assist you with any NinjaTrader items in the future.
