Journey to $5,000 a month trading prop firms with a bot
- Thread starter micb11
- Start date
I do not trade with an API. Tradovate does not give you access to an API with prop firms. I trade the MNQ which is the e minis for the NASDAQ.
I use trading view and I got Claude to build me an indicator which the bot reads and places trades.
I have been studying trading for quite a few years now. So I have instructed Claude on how I want the bot to trade.
It might be possible but I don't think you could build a winning bot without any knowledge.
I have asked Claude in the past to do thorough research and to come up with a winning trading strategy but most of the time they fail.

It certainly can be. Just like poker.
But if you know what you are doing, in the long run, you are good.
Looks like micb11 knows what he's doing.

Hope it all goes well! Looking forward to seeing your updates!
Good Morning.
We are 2 hours into the London session here in the UK.
No trades made by Dave. So this week profit by Dave is $1089.50 (First Attachment)
Last night Bob managed to perform well again and made $445. So this week profit is $773.50 (Second Attachment).
I am thinking that $1000 per day target might be a bit too much for Bob. If I can target $500 a day that is still $2,500 a week and $10,000 per month. If you were to then copy trade 5 accounts then that could be $50,000 per month.
I am not confident with the bots yet to risk anything right now. But so far it is going well.
Asia seems to perform well for Bob and I may just trade that session. I will keep trading all sessions this week to see how we go.
Even thou these figures look good the bots are still not constantly trading. I am moving around at the moment so when I am in the car the bots are not trading as they need the laptop to be open and connected. The only thing that has been constant is the past 2 Asian sessions where there has been no interruption.

I have finished trading for today.
London has been bad for 2 days now so I have decided to not trade that session anymore. New York has been tweaked so we will see how that performs tomorrow. I did not hit the target of $500 for the day. Instead I gave back some and ended the day $357.42 in profit. SO gave nearly $100 back over the London and NY session.
See you tomorrow morning.

I am just trading MNQ (Nasdaq minis)
Thursday morning in UK. Bob is no longer trading London. Asia was another success netting $455 (see screenshot). As I said at the beginning of this journey the whole point of this Journal is to be more disciplined.
Last night I blew an account within minutes because I thought I knew better and I took a manual trade which lost $800 within around 5 mins. I need to learn to close the laptop and walk away. The bot is working so I do not need to watch every trade it takes.
The only amendment I am going to do today is add a hard stop to the system as a back up. Just in case

This is prop firm trading. It is different to trading your own cash
I haven't had a payout yet
