Summary
This guide from Trading with DaviddTech shows how to build an automated trading bot without writing code, by describing the strategy to an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT. The presenter frames the build around starting with a $1,000 account and walks through each stage on screen.
The toolchain includes Claude (with Claude Code), TradingView for data, backtesting and alerts, tradingkit.com for strategy testing tools, and trigger.trade as a middleman service that connects the AI agent to a broker. The video covers the real costs of each tool and notes which have free tiers.
The process starts with generating a trading idea using a rule-based framework of a trend indicator, confirmation indicators, a volume or volatility filter and ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit levels. The presenter stresses position sizing for small accounts. A long prompt then sets up a research loop, run here over 24 hours, that continuously builds, optimizes and backtests strategies and reports equity curves, win rates and profit factors in a local HTML dashboard.
The video also covers incubation, testing a bot before committing capital, and connecting the finished bot to a live broker. It closes with five trading rules the presenter follows and an argument for running more than one bot.
