Methods to autotrade signals from emails only

[MercForHire]

Thanks and for everyone else response, soz for not posting back.

But I've got the problem solved, at least I think so based on the progress I'm making so far.

The setup would be like this,

Email -> Microsoft Power Automate for parsing -> Save csv to dropbox -> IBridgePY via Python for the automated trading code and read csv as the signal -> Interactive Brokers

All be on Amazon EC2, but still looking for other alternatives. Still have to figure out dropbox integration on these virtual hosting, but I think it should be fine.

IBridgePy works quite well so far, and Python is just easy to use as I had previous R coding experiences.

Why not just keep a PC running for this? Renting a EC2 is probably more expensive. This whole cloud computing is overrated.

I can't guarantee my own PC to be up and running at 99.9%+ all the time.

But I agree EC2 is not the most efficient option for running an automated trading algorithm. Even if I'm only using it for less than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, it is painful to restart the instance every day via EC2 if I were to hire it on a pay-as-you-go basis to save $$$.

VPS is my preferred way atm.
