Simply to run the bot 24 hours a day. or do you prefer to do on your own PC .
So if I don't join these servers the bot would run only when my computer is running? I didn't know this... How do I link the bot with these servers?
And I use Apple, are there different servers depending on the OS? Average price?
Thanks!
Any trading bot is software. So it has to run on a computer
somewhere.
You can run it on your own computer. But if you turn your computer off, or if your power goes out, computer crashes, other people using it, if your internet goes down, etc, the software obviously can't function.
So instead, if possible, you have another computer - a private server on the internet, that you basically rent for a small fee. Such a server will live in a datacentre - facilities designed and built exactly for this purpose - which is high performance, reliable, online 24/7, and you can run the software there instead without having to worry about the problems faced with running it at home. The better the environment the software runs in, the better it can perform for you.
Working with such a server does require technical knowledge and skill though.
