TWS on Linux
I would start here. https://github.com/IbcAlpha/IBC Using slightly modified code running in docker container on linux server.

Python developers -- what broker and api do you use?
Interactive Brokers has been the best I've found for that. You do have to use their platform, but that allows you to focus more on writing your algos and less on re-inventing security and such. There are solutions out there to keep the gateway connected. see: https://github.com/IbcAlpha/IBC

Interactive Brokers API
And also use IBC to keep it connected. I've had issues where the daily maintenance performed on their servers causes IBGateway to pop up a dialog before continuing. IBC handles all those issues.

IB gateway fails to auto-restart/login after overnight maintenance
I used to have this problem but have since started using IBC, along with Task Scheduler, to handle all those connectivity issues on Windows. It all supports *NIX-based systems, too.

How to run Interactive broker TWS linux version 10.12.2j from command line supplied by username and password?
There are few autorunner scripts that worked well with previous versions of TWS (901-963) by automating it and even running them headless. However, with the latest version of TWS, it is hard to do.

Auto logon to TWS with IBController
I recently installed this https://github.com/IbcAlpha/IBC It preforms auto logon to IB TWS. Works fine. It generates a batch file, place it on desktop and I included my charting program. One click both open and IB user name and password entered and TWS opens. Magic. Was recently updated.

Anyone went from crypto to traditional markets?

Python developers -- what broker and api do you use?
Alpaca, as mentioned before, is pretty easy. They have a python client (https://alpaca.markets/docs/python-sdk/) that's pretty good. Free trades on equities is nice. The problem with alpaca is that their free equity data is 15min delayed. I've also found their margin accounts to be hard to use programmatically so I only trade long with them. They have crypto but their commissions are high.

UUID on Pico
I'm trying to use the Alpaca Markets API (https://alpaca.markets/docs/python-sdk/) to automate investments, so I connect the Pico to the internet then simply import
