i've recently noticed the trend in people using Linux as a trading server and I think I understand why. i am a system administrator and Linux is very easy and reliable to administrate. i recently found out about the fact that you can use Linux as a trading server to setup your trading systems and framework using your brokers A.P.I but the problem is I am finding very few resources about this online, its like its hidden. where can I possibly start? does linux have trading/ finance services or packages?.your help and replies would be much appreciated!! even if you can lead in the read direction to search for answers.. thank you once again!

thanks!
 


Never heard of any trading software but with just with a quick search I came across these:
I'm sure there are more if you do a more detailed search.

You don't have to have a specific system in order to trade in the stock market. You can trade even from your phone. But the most important thing in stock trading, no matter what platform you do it on, the most important thing is to have a reliable broker. On such an occasion, I can recommend the guys from the brokerage company cmc. I have been working with them for a year now and I have never had any problems with them. For more information I advise to read cmc markets review on topbrokers website, which also reviews of different users.

If you're talking about setting up software that already exists, try looking at Interactive Brokers.

If you're wanting to write something yourself, your broker might have documentation for their API. I know TDAmeritrade did, but I don't know if that has changed since they were acquired by Charles Schwab. Interactive Brokers might be a good one to look in to again for this. I think they're known for catering to this sort of thing.

I’ve found Forex Tester to be an excellent alternative to TradingView https://forextester.com/blog/tradingview-alternatives for backtesting. Its comprehensive features and detailed historical data analysis have greatly enhanced my trading strategies. The simulation options are extensive, making it easier to refine techniques and test strategies thoroughly. If you're seeking robust backtesting tools, Forex Tester is definitely worth considering.
I’ve been using a Linux server for trading, and it’s been good experience. The stability and security of Linux are top-notch, which is crucial for trading. I opted for Ubuntu, and it works seamlessly with MetaTrader 4 using Wine. The low latency and high performance of Linux servers ensure my trades execute quickly. Plus, the community support is fantastic for troubleshooting any issues. If you’re considering it, make sure your trading software is compatible. It’s definitely worth the switch for a more reliable trading experience!
