Command-and-control bot

What my buddy said.

I think I'll do what @IAS_LLC is doing.

 

I have a very primitive program that uses cgi library running on the server. This way I can connect from any browser(including mobile) to monitor and/or send commands. It's far from optimal, but not something I'm willing to spend lots of energy on. I choose the port and since it's not standard web server, there is no security concerns.

 

Seems sensible. Though I'd password protect it if I were yo .

 

I'd like to find middleware that can link a proprietary system to smart watches. Has anyone seen a product like that ?

 

It's no different than connecting said system to a webbrowser. You can use JavaScript. You just will have a lot less screen to work with, so design accordingly

 

IAS_LLC ... appreciate the response. I have an Excel spreadsheet with lots of formulas and data feeds. Works really well, but no clear path to getting from there to an alert on a smart watch. I know I could have someone link the spreadsheet to some kind of web presence, and maybe write some intermediary code to connect that with a watch. But ... I'm searching for something more turnkey vs DIY. How about a routine called "DisplayOnWatch(thingtodisplay)" ?

 

Perhaps look into sending emails/text-messages via VBA code.

 

good thought

 

do you guys program a GUI for your algo trading systems?

 

FWIW, I've only opened a single port for SSH (non-standard), I can connect through the phone and have it forward ports. So you may want to consider this. I do something similar if I need VNC as well:

Code:

ssh -X user@host -p <PORT> vncviewer localhost::5900
