For a non-pro setup you're going to be accepting significant scope limitations in production - you're not going to be scanning the full real time feed across the whole market. Without colocation HFT isn't really an option either. So you can restrict your strategies to medium frequency against a small universe of assets which makes the technical side easier. Also the data side you won't need a full set of data, e.g. tickdata.com has data at $20/symbol/year (https://store.tickdata.com/prices?productMarketId=PRODUCT_MA...)
