Hi, the approach I am using - micro-server at AWS, running Ubuntu. Experience, I used it one year for free - and now subscribed for a (26month-plan for $70- resold 3year) Costs are: $3 / month based on the forward fee and about $4-5 (based on research usage) / month. (If you factor in the free year, it is of course better ;-). Ping time - I used the same address as above, suppose that is IB - is about 8-9 ms. Not sure whether the difference in time is important in this range (1s frame of JBT).
Memory is slightly larger as with the cheapest Linode. Not sure how the cpus compare, Linode does not seem to provide information on that. Uptime: did not have any problems with that, but Ubuntu has basically on a weekly basis security relevant updates. Some of them require reboot for installation, so I cannot say how long the max time is. Going back to the initial question, I would how say, it depends what you want it for, exactly: - just trading: then AWS is clearly the cheapest option and the rest comparable to other providers. Forward-testing (is basically like trading, but ping-times are even less relevant). Backtesting: here CPU-power comes in & & optimizing: like backtesting, but in addition - no of parallel cpus come in. While I did this always on my private computer, also an option where you take on demand a virtual server might be appropriate as well, as then you can also take a high-end system just for an hour or two. Hope this helps. Klaus Am Samstag, 9. März 2013 00:23:57 UTC-3 schrieb Eugene Kononov: > > > rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.788/3.247/8.414/1.029 ms >> >> > > This looks good, too.
