If you don't have laptop, when traveling around countries? How to run Trading apps

Hi,

I think title of thread tells everything. If i want to run full version of IB TWS or Tradestation, without having to download it on someones desktop and extracting it.

I know you can't install them on external drive and run it from there .. is there a way around it ? Thanks.

 

Complex fix. Buy a laptop.

 

Rent a VPS and install it there. Log into VPS from remote computer and do your thing. Speedytradingservers dot com (no affiliation) or simply an AWS/Google Cloud instance should work, as long as you have a good ping to whatever server you are using.

 

Thank you ,, i didn't know that.

 

Interesting .. can you explain how AWS /google cloud instance, i looked and not sure which products on cloud from them i need to apply for .. thanks for suggestions.

 

Even better: don't trade while traveling.

When working a regular job one also takes time off during traveling. I never understood why these questions get asked, are some really that addicted that they go nuts when they can not check the markets for a few days ..

 

right, i'm not trading. Just want test Ideas on these platforms during my travel

 

Keep your Desktop running. Use Remote Desktop from an Internet Cafe. It's like Citrix for the home.

Understand that this elevates your risk of Hacking, if you don't lock things down properly. Also, who knows if the borrowed computer is secure.

There's also Windows on a USB stick and PC on a USB stick where you can "side load" TWS.

 

I was thinking of buying a USB stick where i can run apps ...any USB stick model recommendation? Thnak you
