 +==== Remote Dual-Screen Access (CA → TX) ====
 +
 +=== Core Requirements ===
 +1. View **both Texas PC screens** simultaneously from California
 +2. No reliance on remote user interaction after setup
 +3. Sub-200ms latency for trading responsiveness
 +4. One-time or low recurring cost
 +
 +=== Best Solution: **Parsec + Multi-Monitor Tools** ===
 +//Low-latency professional solution//
 +
 +**Setup:**
 +1. On **Texas PC** (host):
 +   - Install [[https://parsec.app|Parsec]]
 +   - Enable "Hosting" in settings
 +   - Configure `monitors.xml` to share all displays
 +2. On **California PC** (client):
 +   - Install Parsec
 +   - Connect via host's peer ID
 +   - Use `Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M` to toggle monitor views
 +
 +**Performance:**
 +| Metric          | Value                  |
 +|-----------------|------------------------|
 +| Latency         | 80-150ms (CA→TX)       |
 +| Bandwidth       | 10-25Mbps (dual 1080p) |
 +| Cost            | $10/month (Pro)        |
 +
 +=== Alternative 1: **RustDesk (Self-Hosted)** ===
 +//Free open-source TeamViewer alternative//
 +
 +1. Set up RustDesk server on AWS Texas VM
 +2. Configure `hbbr` (ID server) and `hbbs` (relay)
 +3. Connect directly via Texas IP (bypassing public relays)
 +
 +**Advantages:**
 +- Full control over encryption
 +- 120-200ms latency
 +- No subscription fees (only AWS VM costs)
 +
 +=== Alternative 2: **Splashtop Business Access** ===
 +//Optimized for financial use//
 +
 +1. Install Splashtop Streamer on Texas PC
 +2. Enable multi-monitor mode in settings
 +3. Access via California client (thumbnails or combined view)
 +
 +**Trading-Specific Features:**
 +- 256-bit AES encryption
 +- File transfer without VPN
 +- $8.25/month (billed annually)
 +
 +=== Critical Comparison ===
 +| Solution       | Simultaneous View | Latency | Max Resolution | Cost          |
 +|----------------|-------------------|---------|----------------|---------------|
 +| Parsec Pro     | ✅ (Independent)  | 80ms    | 4K             | $10/mo        |
 +| RustDesk       | ✅ (Tiled)        | 120ms   | 1080p          | Free*         |
 +| Splashtop      | ✅ (Thumbnails)   | 150ms   | 4K             | $99/yr        |
 +
 +**Recommendation:**  
 +1. **Parsec** for lowest latency and independent screen control  
 +2. **Splashtop** for compliance-ready financial use  
 +3. **RustDesk** if you have IT admin resources  
 +
 +=== Bandwidth Optimization ===
 +1. Set Texas PC to **hardwired Ethernet** (not WiFi)
 +2. Use **HEVC encoding** where available (30% bandwidth savings)
 +3. Limit FPS to **30** (trading doesn't need 60FPS)
 +
 +//Test with free tiers before committing//
 +
 +
 +==== Feature Comparison ====
 +| Feature               | RemotePC          | LogMeIn           | Parsec (Recommended) | Splashtop       |
 +|-----------------------|-------------------|-------------------|----------------------|-----------------|
 +| **Dual-Screen View**  | ✅ (Tiled)        | ✅ (Thumbnails)   | ✅ (Independent)      | ✅ (Tiled)      |
 +| **Latency (CA→TX)**   | 150-300ms         | 200-400ms         | **80-150ms**          | 120-200ms       |
 +| **Bandwidth (1080p)** | 15-20Mbps         | 20-25Mbps         | **10-15Mbps**         | 12-18Mbps       |
 +| **Cost (Annual)**     | $69.50/yr         | $350+/yr          | $120/yr (Pro)         | $99/yr          |
 +| **File Transfer**     | ✅                | ✅                | ❌                    | ✅              |
 +| **Session Recording** | ✅                | ✅                | ❌                    | ✅              |
 +| **Trading-Optimized** | ❌                | ❌                | ✅ (**<100ms mode**)   | ✅              |
 +
 +==== Key Takeaways ====
 +1. **For Lowest Latency:**  
 +   - **Parsec** wins (80-150ms) with GPU-accelerated encoding.  
 +   - *Best for:* Real-time trading reactions.  
 +
 +2. **For Budget-Conscious Users:**  
 +   - **RemotePC** ($69.50/yr) beats LogMeIn on price.  
 +   - *But:* Higher latency (~200ms).  
 +
 +3. **For Enterprise Features:**  
 +   - **LogMeIn** offers centralized management (but at 5x the cost of alternatives).  
 +
 +4. **For Compliance:**  
 +   - **Splashtop** provides HIPAA/GDPR-ready plans.  
 +
 +=== Setup Requirements ===
 +**All Solutions Need:**  
 +- Texas PC:  
 +  - Dual monitors **enabled in OS**  
 +  - **Static IP** or DDNS for reliable access  
 +  - **Wired Ethernet** (WiFi adds 50+ms latency)  
 +
 +=== Bandwidth Optimization ===
 +1. **Reduce Resolution:**  
 +   - Set host PC to 1600x900 (cuts bandwidth by 30%).  
 +2. **Use Hardware Encoding:**  
 +   - Enable NVENC (NVIDIA) or AMF (AMD) in client settings.  
 +3. **Throttle Background Apps:**  
 +   - Prioritize remote traffic via QoS (router settings).  
 +
 +=== Recommendation ===
 +1. **Try Parsec Free Tier** first (test latency).  
 +2. If Parsec isn’t compliant enough, use **Splashtop**.  
 +3. Avoid LogMeIn unless you need its **legacy enterprise tools**.  
 +
 +// Always test during market hours to simulate load //
