OCC Regular  Posts: 85 Joined: 3/7/2013  User Profile | OK, to help others, here's what I've learned so far: #1) WHEN will TP run in a co-location on Nirvana OV servers? --still wondering when promises will be fulfilled! #2) What is the latest TP (Trade Processor)? The one on OV web site--dated 6/24/2014 Pre-Release 3E (Build 1.3.14.0) #3) Which version of TWS (Trader Work Station) to access to IB (Interactive Brokers)? 4.0 build 9443b Tip/Trick: this info is NOT on OmniVest web site or OV Forum! (--reason I couldn’t find it!) Instead, see Nirvana’s Support pages for OT & VT (OmniTrader & VisualTrader): “Nirvana's Integrated Brokerage Client Installations” –for Interactive Brokers and MB Trading https://www.nirvanasystems.com/intbrokerclientinstalls/installs.asp FYI--TWS 4.0 build 9443b supports: OmniTrader 2013 Pre-Release 2U and higher OmniTrader 2014 Pre-Release 2K and higher VisualTrader 9 Pre-Release 3J and higher VisualTrader 10 Pre-Release 3G and higher Trade Processor Pre-Release 3A and higher 4.0 build 9443b Note: On May 1, 2014, IB disabled API use for their TWS versions below 940.0. #4) Which version of JAVA to run TP and TWS? Nirvana support says required software will be automatically retrieved by the installation programs. So, users should not have to download or install additional pieces. #5) How to set up and run TP on AWS (Amazon Web Services)? Nirvana support says Angela's video includes the most recent instructions. #6) Repeat: thanks to all who offer advice and confidence about running OV in the cloud. #7) Manage OV, TWS, and AWS, from mobile devices? Web-based applications, so login possible from any mobile or computing device with an internet browser. Caveat: OV does not report actual Broker positions, or indicate if trades become “unmanaged”—risks of automated trade management. IB offers multiple platform alternatives for direct account access, monitoring, and trading: -- IB “mobileTWS” apps for iOS, Android, & Blackberry (“trade on the go from just about any mobile device”) -- IB “WebTrader” HTML-based (“simple but powerful web-based trading platform”) -- IB “TWS” (Trader Workstation) versions for Individuals, Advisors, Portfolio Margin, & FX Traders, and API solutions for developers -- New security offerings include mobile phone based multi-step login authentication, replacing older physical devices and coded cards. Impact on cloud services TBD. So now, off to the cloud … JB | |
