I don't want to go into too much details (for security reasons), but I am using my brokers API, the coding is done in python and everything is hosted on a few VPS in different location around the planet for redundancy... I would recommend starting with Interactive Brokers API - it is free, small linux VPS, some data for back testing and off you go, for around $100 you can start + a lot of time of course... Start by testing any trading strategy you can fin on the net for free, they will fail, but you'll observe why and one day you will find your own edge...
