Welcome to my trading laboratory!

You can follow along as I dig deeper and find automated trading strategies that really work. Want to build your own algorithmic trading bot? Follow along and I'll show you how!

My primary goal right now is achieving automated consistency, so please keep that in mind.

The best way to follow my progress is through my YouTube channel linked below. You can come back to this site and find links to all of the related tools I use, including free software I will write and share with you.

What markets do you autotrade?

Currently I'm focused on FOREX (foreign currency). I like this market for a number of reasons - I think it could be a really good fit for automated trading robots:

• It's open 24 hours/day for 5 days each week;

• It removes a lot of the confusion that can exist in some other types of markets like equities - for example, there is not really any concept of earnings reports, company announcements or even accounting scandals - this simplifies a robot's job because all it really needs to focus on is the technical price movements;

• It has a very low barrier to entry for traders. For example, you could even start your bot with a $100 account. And I do this myself while testing automated strategies. There are not a lot of silly regulations in the FOREX space that restrict small traders in the same way there are in US equity markets, such as the "Pattern Day Trader" rules. Tradebots could most definitely be considered "day trading bots".

Having stated all this... you can definitely build tradebots for other markets like crypto or equities or commodities.

Sounds great! What's the best way to follow along?
