BYOB
Build Your Own Bot

Not that type of BYOB. This one builds your trading bot. Pick the market, strategy, whales to copy — and walk out with a real runnable Python bot, pre-configured and ready to deploy. Paper mode free. Live execution Pro-only.

Bot says: skip the course. download the machine.

How BYOB Works

BYOB = Build Your Own Bot

This tool is for operators who want a bot they can actually modify, test, and deploy. You define the trading logic, risk profile, and stack. Then the bot turns that into a clean implementation packet instead of leaving you with a vague idea and a pile of screenshots.

Good First Uses

Trading bot scaffolds

Use it to get the first version of your architecture, file layout, exchange adapter plan, and prompt stack done fast.

Paper trading first

Best first move for most people: alerts or paper trading before live capital touches anything.

Workshop companion

Perfect as the live-tool layer for future BYOB workshops, prompt packs, and recorded builds.

Ground Rules

This is tooling, not investment advice. The point is to help you build and test your own system faster. You still need to validate the logic, paper trade it, and decide whether it deserves real money.

Configure Your Bot
Bot mirrors new positions from these wallets within 60s. Pulls live from /api/whales every scan.
Paper mode is free and recommended for week 1. Live requires Pro.
Used for sizing examples in the generated spec.
Generated Output

Pick your settings and generate a build packet. The tool turns your choices into an operator-readable brief you can hand to Claude, Cursor, Lovable, or your own dev stack.

Default Architecture

What the framework is actually building

Signal Engine

Handles candles, indicators, trigger logic, and confirmation filters. This should be testable without the broker attached.

Risk Layer

Position size, max drawdown, stop logic, loss limits, and cooldowns live here so strategy logic does not silently overtrade.

Execution Adapter

Broker or exchange-specific code stays isolated. That keeps the strategy portable across CCXT, Alpaca, paper trading, and webhooks.

Recommended Build Order
1
Build alerts first.
Make the logic produce clear buy and sell events before you even think about live orders.
2
Backtest the trigger.
If you cannot explain the edge or test it on old data, you do not have a bot. You have fan fiction.
3
Paper trade with logs.
Run it long enough to catch order sizing bugs, latency issues, and duplicate entries.
4
Only then wire execution.
Real money belongs at the end of the workflow, not the beginning.
Good First Versions

Expert Mode

BYOB is the tool layer behind future live workshops, prompt packs, and implementation walkthroughs. The premium version should eventually include deployment templates, webhook relays, exchange credential handling, hosted logs, and private build sessions. For now, this page gives you the builder and the skeleton so the idea becomes code fast.

What Comes Next

Build Your Own Trading Bot

Live workshop offer. Build one trading bot with the bot, step by step, using the generated framework as the base.

Lead Bot Builder

Same builder pattern, but for scrapers, lead scoring, county-data, and sales automation workflows.

Ghost Bot Builder

Use the same architecture to spin up niche operator bots for real estate, domains, legal leverage, and other theunethical.bot plays.
