I’m new to building an algo trading system. I’ve been using Claude in VS Code and it’s been working fine mostly.

I’m stuck on building the strategy. I’ve tried a pull back strat and I’ve included cost at 0.1% to buy and sell (taken from Binance website) but I’m just breaking even and I don’t have many trades in a 9-month window.

So I’m considering testing other strategies. I’m curious about momentum.

I find that using AI with minimal knowledge on day trading the AI gets to a point where it over filters and I lose a lot of entries.

What advice do you have for me. I know starting with something basic and fundamental is a good place to start but can someone please list the basics of different trading strategies I can attempt to code. Also some advice on how to get the most out of using Claude for this project.

I’ve been back testing against BTC 5M, 15M and about to test 1H. I’m considering switching to FOREX as I think it could be more “stable” or give more reliable results.
