Evolution of Algorithmic Trading
Algorithmic trading evolved from exclusive hedge fund tools to accessible technology for individual traders with open-source tools and cloud infrastructure.
Why Build Trading Bots
Trading bots offer emotion-free execution with no fear or greed, 24/7 market monitoring, backtesting capabilities, consistent execution, and millisecond speed.
Core Components
Every successful bot needs a data pipeline for market data, strategy engine with technical indicators and ML models, and execution system with smart order routing.
Risk Management
Never risk more than 1-2% per trade. Always use protective stop losses, implement maximum drawdown limits, diversify portfolio, and use circuit breakers.
Reality Check
Most retail trading bots do not beat buy-and-hold strategies long-term. Success requires deep market knowledge, programming expertise, statistical rigor, and continuous optimization.
