Algo Trading with Claude
Edge first. Strategy second. Code third. AI automates only what you have already proven.
The simulator is the proving ground
No edge, no algo. The simulator is step zero.
- 1Build your edge.
- 2Find your repetitive profitable setups.
- 3Repeat them until the edge holds.
- 4Then define the strategy.
- 5Then automate it.
Step 1: TradeVision AI names your edge
After 100 simulator trades TradeVision AI shows which setups you actually win with, then scans live markets for those exact conditions.
Trade the edge manually
Same setups, real markets, you execute.
Build your strategy around this edge
Write the rules, then automate them.
What AI trading is
- A retail trader using Claude and MCP to run a strategy at a broker.
- In 99% of cases it is done wrong.
- AI finds setups, checks context, supports the trader.
- AI cannot replace a trader without an edge.
Four steps, in this order
- 1
Find your edge in the simulator
Practice, repeat, measure. No edge means stop here.
- 2
Define the strategy
Write the exact rules of your repetitive profitable setup.
- 3
Automate the tasks
Let AI do the steps you have already done a thousand times.
- 4
Run it on a server
Stable infrastructure, monitoring, failover. Not a laptop on Wifi.
Our signals are the proof
BIG LONG and OCTANE are signals, not auto-execution. You check them manually before risking money.
Why it usually loses money
Algo trading is IT operations
- Runs on servers, not on your laptop.
- Missed signals and bad fills cost money.
- Needs monitoring and failover.
Strategy market fit
- Works for weeks, then stops.
- Parameters need constant rework.
- You cannot adapt what you do not understand.
Backtests are a sketch
- Past data is not future profit.
- Silent on execution quality.
Four questions before you code anything
- 1.Do I have a strategy, or am I hoping the machine makes me rich?
- 2.Can I run it professionally?
- 3.Can I adapt it to changing markets?
- 4.Am I willing to risk money on a backtest alone?

Submit your strategyAI algotrading questions
Is AI algotrading profitable?+
Not by itself. Profit comes from the strategy, the execution and the adaptation. The model is only a tool.
How do I start with AI algotrading?+
Simulator first. Build your edge, find your repetitive profitable setups, repeat them. Then define the rules, then automate. Never the other way round.
What are the best Claude trading strategies?+
The ones you understand and can adapt. Claude can code them and call a broker through MCP. The edge has to come from you.
Why does a backtest not guarantee profit?+
Past data says nothing about future markets and nothing about how reliably your infrastructure executes.
NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. Do your own due diligence. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how an AI model calls tools such as a broker API.
