Claude Code Trading Bot: Full Step-by-Step Tutorial

Описание: Two weeks ago my trading bot blew two prop firm accounts. Then it passed two $50,000 evaluations in two trading days, and I didn't place a single trade myself.

I don't know how to code. I built the whole thing by talking to Claude, an AI, inside VS Code. In this video I show you every step, starting from downloading the app. You'll see the exact prompts I typed, the mistakes that almost fooled me, and the tests that saved me.

If you've never opened a code editor before, this video is for you.

🧰 What I used
• VS Code (free)
• Claude Code (paid Claude plan)
• 16 years of 1-minute Nasdaq futures data from Databento (about $40)
• A Topstep 50K evaluation (about $85/month) + TopstepX API access
• Discord for trade alerts

📌 The 5 rules

Use real data and a backtester that includes fees and can't cheat
Test on years your strategy has never seen
Make it beat a coin flip
Test it live with fake money before real money
Size small and let the bot do the clicking
⚠️ Not financial advice. This is for education only. Trading futures is risky and most strategies lose money, including most of the ones I tested. Backtest results are not real results, and passing a prop firm evaluation does not guarantee profits.
