Hi All,
I have an idea to build and maintain a quant image on EC2 for quant usage, a linux, with all the tools a quant ever needs to perform any quant-related work you want - A dedicated intance for every quant at fingertip when you have an quant idea and want to try it or test it. Any thoughts are highly appreciated, or maybe someone already done this, if it is, pls let me know where to look at.
I do this for two main reasons:
1. I'd love to have an all-in-one toolbox for quant.
2. It builds up skills required at work, I saw many JDs require knowledge of C++, bash script, python, ruby,perl. I think by working with an linux terminal I can learn a LOT of them.
Below is what I have achieved so far,
1. working R installed and Rstudio server.
2. Able to use X11 forwarding via SSH to launch IB gateway from Interactive brokers on my laptop,
I am looking for a way to run IB gateway independently on the server so when SSH is dropped, the gateway is still running.
I am trying to make above two works, so I can access R from a web broswer and using pakcage "IBroker" to run sim trading with IB API.
