AI Summary
This video demonstrates how advanced AI has become in creating trading bots, making it incredibly easy for anyone to build a bot for their desired trading strategies. The primary AI tool showcased is Codeex, which the presenter praises as phenomenal for quick debugging and bot creation.
The presenter uses Cursor, a platform for terminal trading via VPS, where all their bots are set up. None of these bots were manually coded; all were generated by Codeex. The AI has access to Cursor, simplifying the infrastructure setup for bot creation.
The demonstration begins with creating a bot that bids four pennies away from the best offer on the early league. The presenter simply types the request into Codeex, specifying "trade immediate start immediately on your end." This command instructs the AI to build the bot and immediately begin trading without any manual copy-pasting or button clicks from the user. The only user action is to command the bot's creation and then to stop it later. This bot is designed for high-frequency trading, bidding four cents away from the best ask.
A key piece of advice given is for non-coders to focus on testing bots with small sizes (e.g., one contract), observing their behavior, and then optimizing, rather than debugging the code directly. Recent Codeex updates have significantly reduced coding errors, making the code run reliably most of the time.
For safer trading, it's recommended to have Codeex create the bot in the Cursor folder and then manually start and stop it, allowing for quick number edits. However, the demonstration highlights the "immediate start" feature, which allows the bot to run autonomously. This means the user can shut down their computer, and if a VPS is running, the bot will continue trading.
The presenter demonstrates editing the bot to buy "no" as well, using the same four-cent logic and incorporating hedge logic (filling the other side if one side is filled). Codeex quickly makes these changes, adding and subtracting numerous lines of code in a short time.
The presenter emphasizes that coding for trading is becoming less necessary due to the ease of AI bot creation. They suggest that alpha generation and good ideas are now more crucial than coding skills. The video concludes with a successful live trade, demonstrating the bot's ability to achieve good fills and generate arbitrage profit, underscoring the power and ease of using Codeex for trading.
