Server Settings

We use a compressed stream for a communication between your client and our servers. The advantage is that the data will be transferred in a compressed mode and the traffic on the Internet will be reduced.

If Enable Load Balancing is checked, the application will select one of the servers below automatically, otherwise you have to select one of them.





In the Equities tab, you can modify the IP or DNS address and port of Equities server..

If Enable Load Balancing is checked, the application will select one of the servers below automatically, otherwise you have to select one of them.






The HTTP Proxy settings will be entered here. Use this if you are using an HTTP Proxy Server for web traffic; please note that this setting concerns no other type or traffic than web content. In other words, you won't be able to connect to the main feed servers (configured on the Futures tab) through an HTTP(S) proxy, as we are using direct TCP connections.







The SOCKS Proxy settings will be entered here. Use this if you are using a SOCKS Proxy Server.
