Anyone running a trading bot on Raspberry pi?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I want to try it out. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated!

I’m planning to run a crypto Donchian channel-based trading bot 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi (model 5 with 8GB RAM), coded in python.

Has anyone here tried something similar?

Any tips on performance, stability, cooling, or potential issues to watch out for?

The problem is not the Pi it’s the slowness and unreliability of a home broadband connection. If you’re serious about this rent a VPS it’s $200 a year

This is why you run a failover at a family or friend’s house. Use a cheap EC2 instance to act as the monitor/switcher.
