Pulse Trader Bot

Problem

Manually watching markets and executing trades around the clock isn't practical, and a strategy needs consistent, disciplined execution rather than emotional decision-making.

Solution

A browser-based bot that connects directly to a trading account, runs a configurable strategy with risk limits, and supports both simulated paper trading and live execution.

Key Features

• Direct account connection and account selection
• Paper trading mode for risk-free simulation
• Configurable risk limits before enabling live trades
• Real-time strategy execution over WebSockets

Technology

• JavaScript
• WebSockets
• Node.js

Challenges

Balancing an aggressive automated strategy against responsible risk controls, including explicit safeguards around live-money trading.

Outcome

Running as an internal tool with real-time execution and risk gating, with backtest results continuing to inform strategy refinement.
