Default Using a remote server

Ninja support -
Or anybody else that wants to comment

I know that traders running auto strategies may use VPS/dedicated servers to execute trades. My question is - If I have Ninja loaded on an offsite server running either Win7 Ultimate or Enterprise (these versions support true multi monitor support via remote desktop connection) and I log into this server and launch Ninja with a desktop at home (running the same OS and using remote desktop) - will it display all charts on my multi monitors at home?
I know (think) there might be latency because of the transmit time of all of the data between the offsite server and my home desktop, but I have a 50 Mb internet service at the house.
The reason why I am asking is I was considering using an offsite server for the maintenance/uptime/backup power/ leasing advantages -
Is anybody using an offsite server for non-auto strategies(manual trading)?
just thought i would ask if this is actually feasible before I bought a $$$$ workstation to use at the house.
Any and all comments/criticisms welcome
Thanks

Hello rrangetrader,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the specifics of the display format of remote desktop would be. You will need to seek comment on this from other users or from an IT professional.
