AI Trading Bot Automation
Digital eBook · 328 pages · 0 sold
Most things sold as an "AI trading bot" are not AI at all - a grid bot that buys at $76,000 and sells at $77,000 is arithmetic, not intelligence. This is the honest, technical guide to what is really running on the other side of the screen: how to build one, test it, and operate it without losing your capital. A complete 42-chapter course in five parts: the concepts, the methods, the build, the risk and the operations. No programming background is assumed - every idea is explained in plain English before it is explained in code. WHAT YOU GET - The five layers every system needs: data, signal, execution, risk, monitoring - Ten method families compared honestly - grid, DCA and martingale ladders, trend following, mean reversion, machine-learning signals, LLM agents, market making, copy trading, reinforcement learning - each with the failure mode that kills it - The arithmetic of survival: position sizing, stops and exits, drawdown and the kill switch, leverage, fees, slippage and liquidity - Venues and API access: exchange and broker APIs, key security and request signing, order types, rate limits, test environments - Testing before real money: honest backtesting, walk-forward testing, overfitting, and the dry run - Your own trading board: dashboard, alerts, reconciliation and a three-level kill switch, built as a copyable reference project - Failure handling: technical and market failures, plus a written incident runbook - Legal and tax reality in Saudi Arabia - which venues a resident may actually use, and the grey zones - An annual budget planner and the pre-flight checklist you sign before going live HONEST ABOUT THE ODDS Nine out of ten retail derivatives traders lose money, and in a classic study of 324 US day traders the average was gross profitable but net negative after commissions. Those findings are in the book with their sources, not buried. This is not a get-rich book and it promises no returns: it teaches the discipline professionals rely on - risk control, cost control and consistency. Every statistic, fee and API limit traces to a dated source. Where a figure could not be verified it is labelled estimated or verify, not presented as fact. 328 pages - 60,000 words - 42 chapters - 65 dated sources.
