My FULL architecture for building an AI trading bot with Claude Code: (three simple steps) 1. Tool stack You need three things to build a bot with Claude: a) Claude Code on desktop installed and running b) An account with any exchange that has a public MCP c) Your account API key (generate a new one) Tell Claude Code to connect these three things in a new project. Once connected, Claude can read market data, place orders, check positions, and manage risk from plain English. Step 2. Write your strategy Tell Claude to create a new CLAUDE.md file and describe your market strategy: • Entry/exit rules • Risk caps and position sizing • Allowed pairs • Execution protocol Pro tip: I recommend voice prompting here to really extract all the necessary data Step 3. Add a risk gate Before going live, ask Claude Code to set these up: • Kill switch - halts all trading instantly if triggered • Daily loss cap • Notional cap - no single order above [x]% NAV • Leverage cap -no single order above [x] leverage Full visual below:
