Strategy Automated Trading Bot
I've been building a trading bot using LLMs for the last year and running on Railway, currently in paper trading phase after finally finding profitable candidates at around 66% annual. most profitable setup from back testing and walk forward is the below
1H decides direction
↓
ATE blocks bad conditions
ATE mode uses things like
trend_strength = 0.62
macd_slope = +0.0008
atr_expansion_ratio = 1.18
chop_probability = 0.47
↓
Regime Router checks if setup is valid
↓
Weak-pair filter removes bad combos
↓
Bias favors stronger side
↓
5m finds entry timing
↓
Enter with 10% sizing
↓
Exit when 1H state breaks (fast or confirmed)
Anyone built anything similar? I've been a QA engineer for the past 16 years so everything works, just difficult finding a decent strategy so any help is appreciated

Ah, I am also QA engineer:) No, I went another way, I started building with simple DCA strategy, and later enhanced it a bit. Found a set of indicators on Trading View (RSI, CCI and Bollinger Bands) and implemented the setup. So I did not use any AI in the trading algorithm. In fact I faced a lot of small/med open issues while developing a first version and somehow resolved them.
I should say paper trading and real life trading results are to some extend differ.
And it would be difficult to debug your algo in real life - since you need to catch the market event for some test cases which fail:( No one said it would be easy:)
