Laptops for running bots
08 Jul 2017, 03:04

Hello friends,

I am wanting to run about 500 iterations of a bot (forex) which has about 150 lines of code and my current laptop (HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab112au Touch ) cant handle it.

I want to leave it running 24/7 and wanted to get some guidance about hardware. Ideally I would like to get a Ryzen 7 laptop but they aren't out yet and I don't think a VPN is suitable - could anyone who has experience share some ideas about suitable specs for a laptop?

Many thanks

RE:

Hi,

I would recoment a small barebone desk top PC with current Windows operating system. A 24/7 running laptop will be soon filled with dust and is hard to clean. I don't think that you need any sophisticated high speed computer but I don't know the timeframe you want to work with. For tickcharts you might need something fast -  I use 15min and 5min time frames so I have no experience with tick charts.

Regards

I ended up building a ryzen 7, 16G ram desktop which is working out well for the time being,

cheers
