I have a brand-new VPS that needs to be fully prepared so my forex trading bot can run 24/7 without interruption. The job is limited to setup and configuration—I will handle ongoing maintenance once everything is working smoothly. Here’s what I need done: • Install and harden the operating system (Ubuntu or another lightweight Linux distro is fine). • Configure a stable remote-access method (SSH and, if practical, a lightweight GUI such as Xfce via xRDP). • Set up the complete runtime environment for the bot—Python 3.x with required libraries, or another stack if you advise a better fit after reviewing the code. • Optimise latency toward major forex brokers’ data centres. • Implement firewall rules, fail2ban, and basic monitoring so I get alerts if CPU, RAM, or network spikes. • Create an autostart script/service that launches the bot automatically on boot and restarts it if it crashes. • Provide a brief hand-off document summarising installed packages, credentials, and how to update or scale the instance later. I haven’t fixed the trading platform yet; MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, or cTrader are all on the table. If any of those require additional tooling (e.g., Wine or terminal bridge for MT4/5 on Linux), include that in the setup. Deliverable is simple: a VPS that can be rebooted and still bring the forex bot online within seconds, with everything secure and documented. Once that milestone is met, we’re done.
