# Non VPS Prop Bot

🚀 **Live accounts can also be traded without an API key**\


***

### 🔧 How It Works

1. **TradingView Strategy**: You configure alerts from TradingView using your custom Pine Script indicators.
2. **Webhook Trigger**: These alerts are sent to an AWS Lambda endpoint via webhook.
3. **AWS Lambda Logic**: The bot parses the payload, applies your trading logic, and sends trade instructions.
4. **Trade Execution**: Orders are placed directly on platforms like Tradovate, TopstepX, etc. via their authenticated session mechanisms — **no API key required**.
5. **Optional Storage**: AWS DynamoDB can be used to log executions or manage session tokens.
