Ever wanted to build your own automated futures trading bot but had no idea where to start? This is the shortcut. You follow the course step by step, paste each prompt into Claude Code, and go from an empty folder to a complete, working bot — one piece at a time. You don’t write any code. Claude builds it; you drive.

HOW IT WORKS
Read the step. Paste the prompt. Hit the checkpoint. Move on. If you can follow instructions and copy-paste, you can build this. No prior bot-building experience needed.

WHAT YOU’LL BUILD (11 modules)
• A complete futures trading bot, from scratch, guided prompt by prompt
• A rigorous backtesting playground to test your OWN strategy ideas on historical data
• A NinjaTrader connection + broker/data-feed setup (prop-firm or live account)
• A risk-control layer: daily-loss limits, loss-streak halts, session rules, a kill switch
• A news gate for CPI / FOMC red-folder events (avoid or flatten around high-impact news)
• Your choice of dashboards (minimal terminal, web panel, funded-account risk monitor, phone, and more)
• A self-improving review loop: the bot journals every trade and writes daily/weekly reports to Obsidian, then Claude helps you improve it from real data
• A deploy setup so it runs on its own (VPS-ready)
• Real understanding of how it all fits together — no black box

YOU BRING THE STRATEGY
This gives you the machine and the backtesting playground.
