AWS Lightsail - Testing Python (Machine Learning) Trading Bots
As an R&D shop, we spend a lot of time building software to test the ideas of our traders and quants.
Test servers have a tendency to multiply...which means increased overhead.
Here's a breakdown Lessons Learned from hosting servers:
Colo server from SpeedyTradingServers:
Pros - Great stability, service and speed.
Cons - A good value for a production trading server but too expensive for day-in/day-out testing.
Inexpensive Hosting Shop:
Pros - Good prices and quick provisioning
Cons - Limited support - Server hosting admin support is critical as the Sceeto transactional middleware between Python and Sierra Chart and Sceeto, dubbed 'SceetoPy' is somewhat complex and can need some server tweaks from the hosting company
Amazon AWS EC2:
Pros - It's AWS so everything is available at your fingertips
Cons - It's AWS so everything is available at your fingertips
Expensive to leave running.
Amazon AWS Lighsail:
Pros - It's AWS so everything is available at your fingertips
Lightsail is much cheaper to leave running than EC2
Lightsail is much easier to provision and administer than EC2.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
