Day Trading with an AI Trading Bot: AI Agent Build Guide — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00In today's video, I'm walking through
- 0:02the AI trading bot I put together that
- 0:04silently stacks up passive income for me
- 0:07around the clock. Over the years, I've
- 0:09stress-tested a mountain of make money
- 0:11online methods and side hustles.
- 0:13Basically, everything that's ever landed
- 0:15on a best side hustles list. And
- 0:17deploying this AI agent is without
- 0:19question the strongest performer I've
- 0:22ever run. And here's the reason this
- 0:24setup is so beginner-friendly. I never
- 0:26wrote a single line of source code
- 0:28myself. The entire algorithmic trading
- 0:30engine was authored by artificial
- 0:32intelligence, and I've saved every
- 0:34resource in the description, so you can
- 0:36rebuild or tweak the trading bot
- 0:37yourself. Zero programming experience?
- 0:40Doesn't matter. The AI automation
- 0:42handles all the complicated logic under
- 0:44the hood. So, how does this automated
- 0:47trading setup actually earn its keep? At
- 0:49its heart, it's a day trading strategy
- 0:51engineered to chase down tiny price gaps
- 0:53across the Ethereum network. Put simply,
- 0:56it keeps tabs on pending token swaps as
- 0:58they roll through the top decentralized
- 1:00exchanges. When the script catches a
- 1:02massive buy order waiting in that queue,
- 1:04it runs its whole trading sequence in
- 1:05milliseconds. It pays a touch more in
- 1:07gas fees, so our buy squeezes in a split
- 1:10second ahead of the target transaction,
- 1:13then drops in a sell order the instant
- 1:15that buyer pumps the price higher. That
- 1:17split-second combo scoops up clean
- 1:19arbitrage profit from the price movement
- 1:21the original buyer created. It's
- 1:23algorithmic trading cranked to maximum
- 1:26speed. And honestly, now that AI agents
- 1:28using Claude AI and ChatGPT have gotten
- 1:31this advanced, it finally clicked for
- 1:33me. Automating creative arbitrage
- 1:35strategies is one of the sharpest ways
- 1:37how to make money online right now.
- 1:39Learning to make money with AI at this
- 1:41level flips the whole script. If you
- 1:43follow crypto news even casually, you
- 1:45already know the staggering amounts of
- 1:47money moving through these networks
- 1:48every single day. This bot simply lets
- 1:50you claim your slice of that volume. All
- 1:53right, enough theory. Time to build.
- 1:55Step one, you'll need a standard Web3
- 1:57wallet and any of the big name options
- 1:59will do the trick. From there, swing
- 2:01over to the development site. Every
- 2:03official link you need is tucked into
- 2:04the description below this video. Kick
- 2:06things off by firing up a new workspace
- 2:08file and giving it a simple one-word
- 2:10name. Then snag the main source code,
- 2:12which is also linked below, and for full
- 2:15transparency, the script is fully open
- 2:17source, comments and all.
- 2:25Drop the code straight into your file.
- 2:35Next, jump into this tab on the left
- 2:37side of the navigation menu. Click this
- 2:39button to keep moving.
- 2:47Now we've got to hook up our wallet.
- 2:48Heads into this tab, set the environment
- 2:50drop-down to this option, and connect.
- 3:03Your active address will appear on the
- 3:05interface straightaway.
- 3:07Go ahead and press this button. This is
- 3:08the moment the AI agent goes live on the
- 3:10Ethereum blockchain and it barely sets
- 3:12you back anything, just a small network
- 3:14gas fee, usually under a buck.
- 3:28Soon as the deployment's cleared, the
- 3:29trading control panel pops up on the
- 3:31left with four straightforward buttons.
- 3:34Don't touch anything yet, though. First,
- 3:36run a quick verification by pressing
- 3:38this button.
- 3:45Check that the address displayed lines
- 3:47up with the exact one inside your wallet
- 3:49extension. That's your proof of full
- 3:51ownership and control over the AI
- 3:53agent's contract address. And as you can
- 3:56clearly see, mine are a perfect match.
- 3:58Next on the list, feeding the trading
- 4:00engine. The sweet spot sits between 2
- 4:03and 10 ETH. You can absolutely run
- 4:05bigger or smaller, but return efficiency
- 4:07starts to flatten out below about 1 ETH
- 4:10and past roughly 50 ETH.
- 4:13Personally, I wouldn't fire this thing
- 4:15up with anything less than 0.5 ETH.
- 4:17Worth remembering before you fund it.
- 4:20Grab your freshly deployed agent address
- 4:22with this button. Make sure you've got
- 4:24your liquidity ready plus a small buffer
- 4:26for Ethereum gas fees, then hit send.
- 4:29Choose ETH.
- 4:32Paste in the contract address, type in
- 4:34your amount, and authorize the transfer.
- 4:53Once the block fully confirms, click
- 4:55here to double-check the balance in the
- 4:56control panel.
- 5:02That's everything synced and ready.
- 5:04Now I'm going to wake up the AI agent up
- 5:06with this button and sign off on the
- 5:08transaction.
- 5:23And just like that, the bot is live
- 5:25trading. Ear to the order book in real
- 5:27time.
- 5:28I'll leave it grinding away in the
- 5:29background and swing back around a bit
- 5:31later.
- 5:32Back in a bit.
- 5:38Okay, I'm back.
- 5:40Let's tap here for a status update.
- 5:51>> Not bad at all. There's already some
- 5:53solid positive movement on the board.
- 5:54Just remember, daily earnings scale with
- 5:57network congestion, gas prices, and
- 5:59trading volume across decentralized
- 6:01exchanges. I'm leaving this crypto
- 6:03trading bot running untouched for a full
- 6:0524 hours so we can gather more
- 6:07comprehensive data.
- 6:08Catch you tomorrow.
- 6:16A full day later and the AI agent has
- 6:18been executing on chain that entire
- 6:21time.
- 6:22I'm going to freeze the bot with this
- 6:24button.
- 6:25Let's bring the complete performance
- 6:26numbers up one final time by clicking
- 6:28here.
- 6:30And there it is. The figures tell the
- 6:32whole story. The balance has climbed
- 6:34beautifully. Notice how the console log
- 6:36captures every single routing split,
- 6:38block number, and swap transaction your
- 6:40trading bot contract fires off
- 6:42automatically.
- 6:43That's total visibility over your funds
- 6:45around the clock. No praying that some
- 6:47closed source black box plays nice.
- 6:51With the live trading test behind us,
- 6:52pulling out your liquidity and
- 6:54accumulated profit couldn't be simpler.
- 6:56Just hit this button, approve the final
- 6:58transaction inside your wallet, and let
- 7:00the network confirm.
- 7:20And boom. Every last bit is routed back
- 7:22safe and sound.
- 7:24One quick note before we call it a day.
