Industrial-Grade Trading Technology
Every trader has a love/hate relationship with technology. You want to put all your time and effort into trading but you cannot trade without a trading computer which you buy and maintain yourself. Few of us have an IT staff to turn to for support so were are left to PC vendors and the Internet whenever technical problems arise. If you trade from multiple locations you also have to deal with keeping data up to date on multiple computers and syncing your trading activity. If you travel you are effectively cut off from your trading computer unless you go to extreme effort. If you are an active trader like we are, it is very likely that at least once of twice a year, you lose money trading as a result of computer related issues.
Wouldn’t it be great if your trading workstation was located in a secure remote location that could be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection? Your workstation would be monitored 24/7 and protected by a generator from power outages. It would be extremely secure and extremely fast. It would have the best Internet connection available to the exchanges, brokers and news services. It would have a service level agreement guaranteeing 99% uptime.
This used to be a dream but we have now done it; a remotely accessible Trading Workstation with all the above attributes. We call it the AT Trading Workstation.
Here are the specs:
- Dedicated Trading Workstation with one multi-core XEON CPU, 2 gb RAM, 20gb raid-10 storage, true multi-monitor support, Windows 2008 software pre-installed
- Power backup via on-site generator and UPS
- 24/7 on site security and video surveillance
- 1 gb/sec Internet connection. 100x residential broadband with extremely low latency
We use it in our Trading Room everyday and we use it to trade our own accounts.
Working with your own high-power computer is much like owning a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Fun to drive when they work but a pain to maintain. You are also at the mercy of your ISP who has its own cost control issues to deal with. This costs you money in terms of diminished control of your account in high volatility market conditions, lost trades because of down time, expensive mistakes because of crashes.
This machine is accessed via any computer you choose to work from, anywhere there is an Internet connection. This means you can:
- Trade using a dedicated, extreme performance trading workstation from anywhere
- All applications (trading platform software, brokerage order connection, news feeds) running on the workstation communicate directly with data centers, brokerages and news sources. The further you are from New York, the more you will benefit.
- Access using either Windows, Mac or Linux
- True Multi-monitor support from Windows
- If you trade from multiple machines or locations you will no longer have to deal with data synchronization, multiple software licenses or duplicate exchange fees.
- This will simplify your trading life and let you concentrate on trading instead of technology.
The trading performance of the AT Trading Workstation is unaffected by the speed of your local PC/Mac or Internet connection. All of the above is only part of what makes this amazing package great. The other part is the price. Have unlimited access to the most capable, functional, portable trading workstation ever for only $150 per month for the basic configuration. Thats about $5/day. From your first use, it has full functionality:
- Windows 2008 Server Standard Operating System configured as a high performance Workstation optimized for Trading
- Windows Firewall activated, hardened operating system with Windows Defender
- 1 gb premium bandwidth connection
- Dedicated public IP
- Pre-installed Market Delta charting software with the same data and chart settings you see used in our Live Trade Room – no more wasted time or frustration!

Access to the AT Trading Workstation is an essential part of our trading. Industrial-grade performance and functionality, pre-installed trading applications and 24/7 security for $5 a day. Hmmm, Starbucks or the trading workstation we used to wish we could afford?
Need more convincing. Test drive an AT Trading Workstation pre-configured with a fully functional Market Delta trial and a simulated Infinity/Transact brokerage account. You will also get free real-time quotes to all the markets we trade in the room.
