FAQs
Will this make me rich from trading?
No, this code will not make you rich. In order for that to happen, you'll need to be an expert at trading, and even then you're up against other experts.
This code will help you to understand how to create trading bots and to become a software developer. This will give you the necessary tools to build your own trading strategies.
Can you write a strategy that will make me rich?
No, whilst I know how to write software, I am a terrible trader. I have my own strategies when it comes to investments and I stick to them (for better or worse).
