The Story of How I Got Into Bot Trading

7d ago in General

Growing up in Hoboken, NJ, just minutes away from New York City, I was surrounded by the energy of Wall Street—the place where all the money is made. My family friends were Wall Street guys, and as a kid, I looked up to them and admired their lifestyle. I wanted that life.

I convinced one of them to teach me a thing or two, and that’s where it all started. I got hooked on the markets at a young age. By the time I was in college, I was making money trading currencies. And, yes, some of that money went to buying kegs for college parties—but it also allowed me to make my first big investment: Bitcoin, back when it was just $200. I didn’t know it then, but that was the best trade of my life.

That’s when I realized trading and investing was my passion. I didn’t need a degree to make it happen, so I stopped going to class and ultimately flunked out with a 1.6 GPA. But honestly, it was the best decision I ever made.

After that, I dove into futures trading, focusing mostly on crude oil. That’s when I started making real money. As my skills improved, I added options trading to the mix, which only expanded my arsenal.

Fast forward to today: I’ve built a business, I make my own schedule, and I travel when I want. But it wasn’t until recently that I started trading with algorithms. Switching to algo trading was a game-changer. It freed up so much time that I used to spend staring at charts. Now the bots trade for me—and in many cases, they perform just as well, if not better, than I ever did.

The best part? There’s no emotional risk attached. This was one of the biggest challenges I faced in my trading journey. I’d make a lot of money, and then one day, I’d blow it all and give back everything I earned—and sometimes more.

Now, I’ve found balance. I invest long-term in companies I believe in, like $TSLA, and let the bots handle the short-term trades. That’s how Trading Boss was born: a combination of lessons learned, tools I’ve built, and a system that allows me to trade smarter, not harder.

This is my story—and I’m just getting started. Let’s see where this journey takes us next. 💼📈
