TradingView Auto-Trading Bot

Python-based algorithmic trading system for real-time execution

End user: Myself
Duration: ~2 weeks
Team: Solo Developer

The Problem

Manual trading based on TradingView signals was slow and error-prone. Traders often missed optimal entry/exit points, and execution discipline suffered due to delays and emotional decision-making.

  • Slow manual order execution missing critical market opportunities
  • Emotional trading leading to inconsistent strategy implementation
  • Human errors in order sizing and position management
  • Inability to trade 24/7 across multiple timeframes and assets
  • Lack of systematic risk management and trade documentation
