I've had no problems getting CAT to run on a high speed connection near Cryptsys datacenter (Hivelocity).
You might want to consider getting a windows server or vps there to improve your performance.
I've pretty much gotten to the point now where most of the BTC I make with c.a.t is made or lost through inflation or deflation. My gains might say .5 BTC over 24 hours, but in reality its more or less break even everyday. I've had .3 - .5 BTC gains reported everyday this week, but in actuality, my BTC portfolio only grew .5 BTC (Rather than the 2.1 - 3.5 BTC it would be without any deflation/inflation)
What settings would you recommend to combat this, Sampey or any other users? Any other high rollers out there (More than 10 BTC in) feel free to PM me and we can strategize further over Skype.
Everyone has his own trading strategy-or should have

For starters I recommend you set your entry and exit points according to your plan and daily price.
