Use Claude to Build an AI Trading Bot One Weekend
Turn $500 into $10K in 90 Days with Stocks, Options, and Prediction Markets
Build a working AI trading bot this weekend. Not theory. A real Python bot connected to live market data through Claude and Unusual Whales MCP, placing paper trades on Alpaca, validated with Monte Carlo backtesting before you risk a dollar.
You’ve seen the screenshots. $300 turned into $11,550. This book is different — you build a working AI trading bot this weekend, validate it with Monte Carlo backtesting, and follow a 90-day plan from paper trading to real money.
