How to Build Your Own AI Trading Bot: Step-by-Step Prompts for Forex & Crypto Automation

Why Every Trader Needs AI Bot Automation in 2025

Manual trading is stressful, slow, and often inconsistent. In fast-moving forex and crypto markets, human emotion and delay can kill profits. With the latest AI prompt engineering, even non-coders can automate core parts of their strategy—signal scanning, order execution, risk control, and logging—using simple ChatGPT prompts and integrations.

Core AI Prompts to Power Your Trading Bot

# Automation Task Prompt Example (customize for your platform/market)
1 Signal Generation “Analyze [pair/symbol] on [timeframe] for trend, momentum, and reversal signals using EMA, RSI, and MACD. Output BUY/SELL/WAIT signal.”
2 Order Execution Logic “Based on the latest signal, generate an API order instruction: pair, position size (fixed or % equity), entry, stop-loss, take-profit.”
3 Risk Management “For each new trade, limit risk to 1.5% of account, auto-calculate lot size, and set stop-loss 2x ATR below/above entry.”
4 Trade Journal Automation “After each trade, log time, pair, entry, exit, P&L, and chart screenshot to a Google Sheet or Notion database.”
5 Performance Review “Weekly: summarize all trades, win/loss ratio, average R:R, and note strategy tweaks for the coming week.”
6 Multi-Asset Monitoring “Scan 5 major forex/crypto pairs hourly; alert if two or more show simultaneous entry signals.”
7 Error/Anomaly Alerting “Detect missing data, trade rejections, or API failures; trigger a Telegram/Slack alert with error details and suggested actions.”

These prompt templates are fully compatible with ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLMs, and can be integrated with platforms like TradingView, MT4/5, Binance, or Bybit via API.

Step-by-Step: From Prompts to a Working Trading Bot

  1. Design Your Strategy: Define entry/exit logic and risk rules; convert them into structured prompts.
  2. Connect Data: Use API/Webhooks from your broker/exchange to feed real-time data into your LLM or prompt runner.
  3. Set Up Automation: Deploy Zapier, Make (Integromat), or custom scripts to run prompts, parse responses, and trigger orders.
  4. Test in Demo Mode: Run the full workflow on demo/sandbox accounts for a week—track every signal and trade.
  5. Go Live—With Limits: Start small, review performance weekly, and iterate prompts based on results.

Case Study—TradingBot with 21% Higher ROI in 60 Days

A crypto swing trader used this workflow with ChatGPT prompts and TradingView webhooks. Automated signals and logging eliminated emotional trades. After two months, average ROI per trade increased 21% compared to previous manual performance, with fewer losses and better consistency.
