"The sky is falling, Tradestation is stealing my systems and indicators."
Hold on there partner. Tony Ross gave you the information to find this out. See his email where he tells us about Ethereal.
I will tell you what little I know that has kept me from being paranoid about this. First if you don't have a good strategy you have no risk. I don't care how many fancy indicators you got from Russia.
Do SHARE your Tradestation 8.1 folder. Second when you are logged on your workspaces are in use and are not able to be shared. They contain all the information you do not want shared. So any unopened workspaces might be at risk except you have your folders set to NOT SHARED. These are fundamentals of Windows XP and Tradestation 8.1. You can feel pretty safe with them. That is nearly as far as my expertise goes so that is all I better say on that.
As to the size of data going out being nearly as large as what is coming in what I see is the symbol data coming in from tradestation and a large confirmation of it going back. The reason for this is Tradestation, on our end, must tell the other end it got the data for symbol such and such for period such and such and that it fills all the normal session times in completely OR no it doesn't fill it all in so send me this when you get a chance. Oh and by the way let me know if what I sent didn't agree with what you sent.
Now for the really important part. If you have been on the internet 24/7 for several months and no hackers have stolen all you have and destroyed you machine then MAYBE you have your firewall and ports and all the other normal safety stuff set ok to keep a most likely NON threat like Tradestation out in addition to real threats. For a fact if you have your folders shared then even if Tradestation doesn't want you trash it may be going to them accidently. REALLY.
If you are using a laptop and want to share the data then move it to a laptop shared folder then on the laptop copy it to the Tradestation folder. If you run the laptop online with Tradestation then do as it says above.
