For pure compute-intensive HFT workloads, you might want to consider instances from the C5 or C6 series, which are optimized for compute-intensive tasks. If your HFT algorithms can benefit from GPU acceleration, then the P4 series, which is optimized for machine learning and high-performance computing, might be a better fit.

Additionally, to determine the most cost-effective solution for your use case, you can utilize the AWS Pricing Calculator.

  • Say for P4 instance, any indicative cost estimates based on 7 hours a day and 21 trading days a month? Sry I'm new so not aware of alot features here.

  • For a p4d.24xlarge:

    • vCPUs: 96
    • Memory: 1152 GiB
    • Network Performance: 400 Gigabit
    • Storage: 8 x 1000 SSD

    You will have an instance cost of 32.7726/Hour.

    7 hours * $32.7726/hours = $229.4082 21 trading days/months * $229.4082 = $4,817.5722 (Less than the picture because this just consider the 21 tradings days per months)

    EC2 Cost

    NOTE: This is not considering additional cost like EBS, Monitoring or Data Transfer

AWS offers several services that can cater to the needs of high-frequency trading (HFT) algo traders who require server resources with GPUs. Here are some AWS services and packages that you may find suitable: Amazon EC2 Instances with GPU: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) offers various instance types equipped with GPUs, such as the P3 and P4 instances optimized for machine learning and high-performance computing workloads. These instances provide access to powerful NVIDIA GPUs, which can be utilized for running HFT algorithms efficiently. When selecting AWS services and instances for HFT algo trading, consider factors such as latency, throughput, instance types, pricing models, and regulatory compliance. It's also essential to optimize your algorithms and infrastructure for low-latency trading and efficient use of GPU resources.

I strongly suggest you contact the AWS support experts specializing in financial services and high-performance computing. They can provide tailored solutions and guidance based on your specific requirements and use case.

Hope it clarifies and if does I would appreciate answer to be accepted so that community can benefit for clarity, thanks ;)
