We learned how to launch an EC2 instance from an Amazon EC2 AMI with batched gekko/gekkoga app/conf deployment. Now we will learn how to use it on a more powerful, larger CPU-optimized instance at a good price (Amazon EC2 Spot feature), so that we can -literally- quickly bruteforce all possible parameters and inputs of a given trading strategy, using Gekkoga’s genetic algorithm.… Read more ...

How to create an Amazon EC2 “small” Virtual Machine and automate Gekko’s deployment
We tried Gekkoga’s backtesting and noticed it is CPU intensive. I never used Amazon EC2 and its ability to quickly deploy servers, but I was curious to test, as it could make a perfect fit for our needs: on-demand renting of high capacity servers, by using Amazon’s “Spot instance” feature. Beware, on EC2 only the smallest VM can be used for free (almost). The … Read more ...
