I lost money trading. So I built something to stop me.
A few years ago I blew through multiple prop firm challenge accounts. Not because the strategy was bad — because I was. I'd move a stop loss, double down after a loss, close a winner too early out of fear. Every time, one emotional decision undid weeks of disciplined trading.
So I stopped trying to fix my discipline and decided to remove myself from the equation entirely. I had zero coding background — but I had Claude Code, a lot of evenings, and a YouTube channel where I document every win, every bug, and every dumb mistake along the way.
That's how a basic forex script became a 5-agent trading system, then a multi-market capital management system, an automation pipeline, and a research tool. Everything below is real, running, and built in the open.
