What are you guys using for controlling your algorithms while you are AFK? I'm considering writing a Telegram bot but secret chats are not supported with the bot API. I trust Durov's intentions, but he was forced to give up VK (or probably lose his life/freedom) and nothing says it won't happen again. I suppose I could just make it a read-only bot.
Leaning towards ejabberd, used it a long time ago, looks like author is now making money from the product. Good for him.
Although I try not to let things run while AFK, I have my algos running on AWS behind an nginx server with a SIMPLE Angular2+ front end where I I can perform simple operations/monitoring from any internet connected device.
I hear ya, but....the risk of losing everything on a bad trade is orders of magnitude more than the risk of being hacked at a random ip address that is password protected
I’d consider Firebase - a mini online json database often used for synching chat bots, game servers, etc.
I do not use a bot. Instead, my programs read parameters from a .csv file (i.e. plain text file). This text file is in my Dropbox. I can access these Dropbox files from any location where I have internet access, and modify them if so required. I selected Dropbox because it supports both iOS (my iPad) and Ubuntu (my home computers). There are other online file servers, but not all of them support both these OSes.
Sorry, what do you mean? You have algos running and you want to start/stop/modify them? You are using so much new (to me anyway) technology that my head is spinning
AFK = away from keyboard. Could be taking a dump, for example. And need/want piece of mind to steer the ship whilst doing the not-trading thing. It's like monitoring your ring video doorbell when you're not home
