No need to discover America again !!!
Let AI Write the Code — You Just Guide It.
Hey, it’s Ozan again.
If you’ve got a basic understanding of Python and how algorithms work, I’ve got good news for you: you don’t need to build every piece of your trading system from scratch anymore.
That’s right — you don’t need to “discover America” again.
We’re living in a golden age for coders, especially those who work in niche areas like algorithmic trading. Tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek are changing the game. You don’t need to be a full-time developer to build something functional anymore. You just need to know what you want and roughly how it should work.
So… What’s the New Workflow?
In the past, if you had an idea for a strategy, you’d have to:
Write every line of code yourself
Spend hours debugging
Google stack traces like your life depended on it
Now?
You describe your idea in plain language:
“Hey ChatGPT, write me a Python function that calculates EMA crossover for BTC/USDT using ccxt data.”
Boom. You’ve got a working script in 10 seconds.
What You Still Need to Know
Don’t get too comfortable — you can’t outsource everything to AI.
You still need to:
Understand what an EMA is (and why you’re using it)
Know how to tweak parameters
Read the code and verify that it actually does what it says
Backtest it before trusting it with real money
Think of AI as your coding intern. It can do 90% of the repetitive stuff, but you’re still the strategist, the architect, the trader.
AI Isn’t Replacing You — It’s Empowering You
The people who get ahead in this new wave aren’t the ones with the fanciest algorithms. They’re the ones who can combine domain knowledge (trading) with a bit of code and smart AI prompting.
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
You just need to know which wheels to bolt together — and maybe let ChatGPT tighten the screws.
Final Thought
If you know what an RSI is and can write a for
loop in Python, you’re already ahead of the curve. Let AI handle the boilerplate while you focus on strategy and performance.
And if you don’t know what a for
loop is… maybe it’s time to learn just enough Python to become dangerous (in a good way).
