I need an automated algorithmic trading platform purpose-built for the stock market that can run three distinct styles—scalping, swing trading, and day trading—without manual intervention. The core of the system should ingest live market data, analyse it in real time, and execute orders automatically through my broker’s API while keeping latency to a minimum. Since this is a longterm project I am planning this project in 2 stages. Once both stages are complete, it should do as much as possible of the data analytics on a desktop instead on any cloud versions as in later stages as I assume my own developed mathematical models will need a lot local computing power. For excessive computing power I already have the NVIDIA DGX spark that allows me to run local AI models. So also for the initial stage setup I need you to consider the later integration of the DGX spark. The developer shall provide only Stage 1 with the aim of setting up the right infrastructure and deliver a functional platform with documentation. The platform shall be an automated AI based trading platform for stocks based on a VPS and allowing the data ingestion and trading engine working with AI based tools like Claude. The developer should consider broker connectivity (API), data ingestion, execution, research infrastructure, risk controls, AI/model infrastructure, monitoring, and deployment and provide a running solution with a user manual and description of the modules and interfaces. I want to use the Charles Schwab banking and main activity area will the US stock market. So any VPS solution should be ideally US based. An automated trading system (bot) developed in Python for Charles Schwab API. The bot will run on a VPS, will allow the user to input a list of stocks to trade during RTH. The bot will buy shares of each listed ticker once the price crosses a 100 EMA upwards on a closed 5-minute bar and will close the ticker position once the price closes below the EMA. Stage 1 scope shall deliver: 1. API connection module 2. Market Data module 3. Trading engine 4. Reporting/logging module The modular architecture shall allow us to extend or modify the modules during stage 2 and to replace the entry strategy with own system signals and computation running on the DGX spark.

Hi, I understand you need Stage 1 of an automated Python trading platform for US stocks using Charles Schwab API, hosted on a US VPS, with live market data, order execution, logs/reports, and a clean modular setup for Stage 2. I can build the API connection, market data module, trading engine, and reporting module so the bot can trade tickers during RTH using the 5-minute closed candle 100 EMA rule. I will also keep the design ready for future strategy replacement, DGX Spark/local model connection, stronger risk controls, and AI tool use like Claude. My focus will be stable execution, low latency where possible, safe error handling, clear logs, and simple documentation so you can understand each module and interface. Which Charles Schwab account/API access level do you already have, and do you have approved trading permissions for automated order execution? Do you want Stage 1 to use Schwab market data only, or should we connect a separate real-time data provider if Schwab data limits are not enough? What exact risk rules should be included in Stage 1, such as max position size, max daily loss, max trades per day, and stop trading after errors? Should the first version support paper trading/sandbox first before live trading? Best regards,

Hello, I've built algorithmic trading systems before — real ones that handle live market data, execute trades, and manage risk across multiple strategies. The stack you need (Python for ML models, C++ for speed, PHP for the backend) is exactly what we use for this type of work. We've been shipping complex financial and data-heavy platforms for over a decade. Most of our work is SaaS, custom platforms, and systems that need to process data at scale — which means we know the tricky parts: latency, data integrity, and keeping everything running 24/5 without gaps. Your budget range gives us a solid starting point. Once we dig into scope — how many strategies, what data sources, deployment requirements — I'll give you a real number. Let's hop on a quick call this week. I'll ask three questions about your architecture needs, and we can figure out if this is a fit. Message me whenever you're ready. Regards, Nurul Hasan

Hi — Elias here from Miami. The real challenge here is not only coding the EMA strategy, but building Stage 1 with clean module boundaries so broker connectivity, market data, execution, logging, and later DGX/local model signals can be swapped or extended without rewriting the core system. I’d approach this as a Python-based VPS trading engine with separate modules for Schwab API auth/order routing, live market data ingestion, 5-minute candle/EMA calculation, strategy execution, risk controls, and detailed logging/reporting. I’d also keep the signal layer abstract so Stage 2 can replace the 100 EMA logic with local AI/model outputs from the DGX environment. I’ve worked on API-driven automation systems involving real-time data, execution logic, monitoring, modular backends, and production deployment workflows. Q1 – Do you already have Charles Schwab API access approved? Q2 – Should Stage 1 include paper trading/backtesting before live execution? Q3 – What basic risk rules should be enforced first: max position size, daily loss limit, ticker limit, or all? Happy to structure this into a safe Stage 1 architecture and milestones. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi there, I've reviewed your plan for the Stage 1 trading bot. Operationally, the system will run on a US-based VPS, ingesting live market data for your specified stock list. For each stock, it will maintain a real-time 5-minute bar series. On each bar's close, the engine will calculate the 100 EMA and compare it to the price, executing buy or sell orders via the Charles Schwab API based on your crossover logic. All events will be logged for analysis, and the architecture will be designed with modular interfaces to integrate your DGX-powered models in Stage 2. Technical approach: - Backend: Python using asyncio for non-blocking I/O and pandas for time-series analysis. - Architecture: Decoupled, event-driven system: Data Ingestion, Strategy/Signal, Order Execution, and Logging services. - Broker API: Direct integration with the Charles Schwab API for market data and trade execution. - Infrastructure: Containerized via Docker, deployed to a low-latency AWS EC2 instance in a US region. Core modules: - Schwab Connector: Manages authentication, maintains connection, places/monitors orders, and fetches account status. - Data Ingestor: Subscribes to market data streams and aggregates tick data into 5-minute bars. - Trading Engine: Encapsulates the 100 EMA strategy as a pluggable component, ready for Stage 2 replacement. - Persistent Logger: Records every signal, order, fill, and system error for audit. Implementation strategy: We'll begin by establishing a stable connection to the Schwab API, then build the data ingestion logic. The EMA strategy will be implemented and tested, ideally against historical data first. After deploying to the VPS, we will conduct a paper trading phase before going live to ensure reliability and accurate execution. Regards, Rohit

Hi I can set up Stage 1 as a clean, modular trading infrastructure that connects to the Charles Schwab API, runs on a US-based VPS, and is structured specifically so you can later plug in your DGX Spark and more advanced AI-driven models without rewriting the core system. The architecture will be split into four independent modules API connection, market data ingestion, trading engine, and reporting/logging—so each part can be upgraded or replaced in Stage 2 without affecting execution stability. For the trading engine, I’ll implement your initial strategy logic (100 EMA crossover on 5-minute closed bars with RTH constraints), but keep the signal layer abstract so it can later be swapped with AI or custom model outputs. The system will include real-time data handling, order execution through Schwab’s API, and basic risk controls, with structured logging so every trade decision and API interaction is traceable and easy to debug. I’ll also design the infrastructure with future scalability in mind—so your DGX Spark can later handle heavy computation while the VPS remains focused on execution, latency, and broker communication. You’ll receive a fully working Stage 1 deployment, documentation for each module, and a clear upgrade path for Stage 2 integration. Best Regards, Fizza Nadeem K

Building a solid base platform for automated trading with your specs is doable. I’ve helped a client in US equities before set up a Python trading bot on a US VPS, connecting to a broker API for live data, order execution, and managing risk controls with low latency. For your Stage 1, I’ll create a modular system with an API connector for Charles Schwab, a market data ingestion module tuned for 5-minute bar detection, the trading engine implementing your 100 EMA entry and exit rules, plus detailed logging/reporting. I’ll make sure the architecture supports swapping the entry strategy and scaling AI computations later on your DGX spark. Do you have access credentials and API documentation from Schwab already? Also, do you prefer a specific US VPS provider for low latency, or should I recommend a couple? This setup can be ready quickly since the logic is straightforward and built on proven frameworks. I’ll deliver clear documentation for easy expansion in Stage 2. Ready to get this infrastructure running for your automated trading soon.

Hello! I’m comfortable designing modular Python-based market data and research infrastructure, especially where the goal is to build a strong Stage 1 foundation that can later support more advanced local analytics and model-driven workflows. Your emphasis on clean module boundaries, VPS deployment, broker connectivity, logging, and future DGX-based local computation is exactly the right way to structure a serious long-term platform. For Stage 1, I would focus on a maintainable architecture around four clear modules: broker/API connectivity, market data ingestion, a simulation or paper-execution engine, and strong reporting/logging. That gives you a working foundation for research, testing, and controlled iteration, while keeping the interfaces clean enough to replace the initial strategy logic later with your own mathematical models and local AI components. I can also document the module boundaries and deployment model carefully so Stage 2 can evolve without rework. Warm regards, Yulius Mayoru

Hi, I can help you You want a simple, solid first version that connects to Schwab, pulls live prices, follows a clear EMA rule on 5‑minute bars, places trades fast, logs everything, and runs on a US VPS. It should be clean, modular, and ready to plug in your own models later, including your DGX, with docs and a easy way to swap strategies. This will take a few days, I've been doing this type of work for years. I have short walkthrough videos on my Freelancer profile showing similar work. 1) Do you already have Schwab API credentials and a preferred US VPS provider? 2) For reports, do you want CSVs only, or also a small dashboard and alerts? Ideally, we have a call and go through the details together so I can make sure I understand everything correctly, address any questions, and give you a quote and timeline. Would that work?
