With Amazon offering servers all around the world, here is an overview of the different locations and how to put your servers there.

There's no catch or trick. You literally have an unlimited amount of computing power available right now. Right now! Here's how you can transform your trading with just a change in the way you think about trading.

Part 1 of this step-by-step is starting with a fresh server to build our backtesting template with.

Set the server up so it can be cloned, then be completely ready to launch a specific backtest.

In this step you will learn how to create a template image that can be cloned to many servers to speed up your backtesting.

In this lesson you will learn how to check to see if your clone template is ready to be cloned.

In this lesson you will learn the real power of cloning your backtest and how easy it is to launch 6 (or as many as you like) servers to speed up your backtesting.

In this lesson you will lean how to easily connect to your cloned backtest servers and control them with just a single click.

You will learn how powerful and conveniently you can watch all your servers (even up to 20) at the same time to see when their backtest is finished. Your own clone army :)

Now that your own personal backtesting clone army has finished their backtests, you will learn how easy it is to get the backtesting results down from your servers.

Your clones have finished their job of getting fantastic backtest results for you. Time to learn how to kill your clones. Don't worry. You can launch all new clones with a single click when you need them!

Once your clones are finished and deleted, you will learn how to take a quick glance to make sure nothing is left over.

You've got so many options. And they are all cheap! Most cost *LESS* than a penny per hour! So which ones produce the best backtest results?

Here is a quick lesson on the types of alerting and benefits of what Amazon has for free.

There all sorts of alerts available, and you can use them for all sorts of useful and cool things. Most people only think about alarms and alerts when things go wrong. But what about alerts and emails when backtests are done, or when lots of trading is happening?

You will learn step-by-step how to set up 24/7 monitoring and email alerts for each of your servers. You will also learn how to make sure you don't get false alarms! Because, nobody likes false alarms at 4am.

Keeping your servers running smoothly is important to great trading. Here's a set-by-step on how to configure all sorts of CPU monitoring and alerts. Not just for problems, but also for other uses!

Okay, you've got all your alarms set up. Now you will learn how to make sure you actually get your alerts! Here's how you can confirm and make sure everything is working properly!

Amazon offers different kinds of servers. It's important to understand the difference, and what they are good for. For instance, Variable CPU doesn't mean you don't know what you are getting, it means you are guaranteed CPU, but the times you need more (like when the market is screaming), you can have extra CPU when you need it.

These programs have been tested and proven to destroy ANY computer's performance. Certainly don't let any of these programs come close to your trading or backtesting servers!

One of our favorite things about Amazon is the power of their backup system. We've never seen a smoother, easier to use system than this. Here's how it works.

With this approach to backups, it's literally seconds before you can have a clean, restored, perfectly working VPS server, no matter how badly you mess things up :)

Okay, the description says it all. But it really is as easy as that.

With easy step-by-step instructions you will learn why you never really need to worry about making mistakes or breaking something!

Ok, you've learned how easy it is to back up. Now you will learn how it's even easier to restore a server back to perfect.

One of the great benefits of the way we show you how to do backups is that you can visually see what's going on at all times. No confusion.

What do you mean bonus servers? What are these things? How can I get some?

Just a few quick changes to your thinking, and suddenly you will have more bonus servers. It's easier than you think!

Here's how to safely put to sleep servers you don't need at the moment, and buy yourself some bonus server time.

Here's the easy way to see what your servers are doing, and how you can easily wake up servers you need to use.

How cheap are we talking?
How about servers for less than a penny per hour.

Less than a penny, really?
Yup, as in.. 10 hours of use just to make one penny.

How about really powerful computers perfect for backtesting?
How about less than 2 pennies per hour. So a 2 hour back test for the total cost of 3 cents.

What about a really, really powerful computer to handle any type of complex backtest
Oh, those are more expensive. How about less than 4 pennies per hour.

All true, learn about them here.

Think of these as super-powerful, amazingly-awesome, disposable wipes of backtesting computers. Pull out as many as you need. Use them, abuse them, then dispose of them. No fuss, no muss, no messy cleanup.

Remember those days when your computer said it would take hours to run a backtest? Got 20 symbols, 20 hours of pain. Those days are gone forever. 20 symbols, use 20 servers. Get results in an hour. Then tweak the EA a little, and get more answers in another hour. Fear not, backtest like a boss. Total Cost: $1.

You have the ability to build your own backtesting and clone army for pennies. Now it's time to change the way you think about trading so you can make use of them.

You thought these servers were cheap, here's how you can get them even cheaper, and how to properly price them.

Here's a step-by-step lesson on how to launch your clone army.

It sounds cruel, but your clones feel no pain. Honestly. When you are done with them, kill them off.
