Notes:?If port 100l cannot be opened (for
example due to strict firewall policies),
the Pal-Invest Trader can be set up to run
in HTTP mode where all communications
between the server and the Pal-Invest Trader
use the HTTP Port. |
Advantages: Port 1001 does not need to be
open on the firewall. |
Disadvantages: This mode of operation is
considerably slower than the raw protocol
solution. |
Trade Server Name |
This is the DNS name or IP address of the
trading server and should not be changed
unless instructed to do so by us. |
TCP/IP Port |
The Pal-Invest Trader supports a proprietary
TCP/IP protocol for communications with the
trading server. This protocol offers
efficient communications with the trading
server and we recommend it's use where
possible. |
Use HTTP |
To set up the Pal-Invest Trader to
communicate with the trading server using
HTTP tunneling instead of the proprietary
protocol, check the Use HTTP check box. This
may be required to allow the Pal-Invest
Trader to communicate with the trading
server through your firewall or proxy
server.
The proprietary TCP/IP protocol (non-HTTP)
is the preferred operating mode as it allows
faster data transfers between the server and
the Pal-Invest Trader. |
Proxy Server Settings |
Connect via proxy server |
Check the Connect via proxy server
check box to set up set up the Pal-Invest
Trader for communications through a proxy
server. |
SOCKs |
If Pal-Invest Trader is configured to
communicate using the proprietary protocol
(recommended configuration), the SOCKs
protocol must be used on your Proxy Server
and the correct SOCKs version must be
selected. Select the SOCKS protocol version
in use on your Proxy Server (versions 4a and
5 are supported).
If Pal-Invest Trader is configured to
communicate using HTTP tunnelling (the
Use HTTP check box is checked), the
proxy is assumed to be a HTTP proxy and the
SOCKs protocol is not used. |
DNS or IP Address |
Enter either the DNS name or the IP address
of your proxy server as seen from your
network. We recommend the use of DNS names
where possible as this can make traversing
address translation (NAT) solutions simpler. |
User Name and password |
Enter the User name and Password if required
by your proxy server.
If your proxy uses the SOCKs protocol
version 4a, User Name only is supported by
this protocol. SOCKs protocol version 5
supports both User Name and Password.
HTTP proxies can be configured for User Name
and Password for basic or digest
authentication. |
Port |
Typical Proxy Ports:
HTTP Proxy : 80 or 8080
SOCKS Proxy : 1080 |
Communications Settings |
Enable communications log |
Check the Enable communications log
check box to enable logging of
communications between the Pal-Invest Trader
and the trading server. This is typically
done for troubleshooting purposes. |
