AWS Python Trading Bot
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have a working Python script that already generates my trade orders. What I need now is for that code to become a fully-automated trading bot hosted on AWS and wired into the TopstepX API by means of my secure credentials.
Your task in plain terms is to:
• Refactor or wrap the existing script so it can place live orders through TopstepX (functionality: Automated trading).
• Handle authentication and key rotation securely (AWS Secrets Manager or an equally safe method).
• Deploy the bot so it runs continuously on AWS—Lambda, Fargate, EC2 or whatever you feel is the best fit—and can be restarted automatically after a failure or update.
• Expose a simple configuration file or environment variable set so I can alter parameters without touching the code.
• Provide concise hand-off notes covering how to start, stop, and monitor the service.
Acceptance criteria
• At least one end-to-end test trade executed in my TopstepX account from the deployed bot.
• No hard-coded credentials in the repository.
• A single command (or CI step) that provisions the AWS resources and deploys the latest build.
• Clear rollback instructions.
The original script and API credentials will be supplied once we agree on the engagement.
