Use Claude to Build 7 AI Trading Bots
Stocks, Options, Crypto. The Multi-Strategy Playbook for Backtest to Live Trade
Claude builds the bot. Python rules execute. You own the strategy. Seven working strategies — trend, pairs, earnings, news, options flow, crypto cash-and-carry, portfolio allocator — walk-forward backtested across five market regimes with a realism layer that nets out slippage, commissions, latency, and Claude inference cost.
You opened Claude Code. You typed: “build me a trading bot.” It generated 400 lines of Python in 30 seconds. Then you asked Claude where the volatility numbers came from. Claude admitted it had been making them up. The difference between traders who ship and traders who don’t isn’t talent — it’s that the ones who ship figured out the rule none of the books teach: Claude builds the bot. Deterministic Python rules execute the bot. The human owns the strategy. This playbook gives you all 7 bots and the architecture that runs them. Seven strategies, walk-forward backtested across five market regimes, with a realism layer that nets out slippage, commissions, latency, and the cost of Claude inference per trade.
