1/ A primer on how I achieved end to end automation via algos.
First up, Why?
Trades execute the moment your setups trigger. No hesitating/panicking/worrying/overthinking when you need to take a new trade daily. That's why. Also, spend less screen time going fwd.

2/ How long for the whole process?
3 to 4 weeks for your easier/easiest strategies if you have some (bare minimum is enough) amount of coding experience. Even basic experience writing loops helps the process.

3/ Honestly tho, like seriously, can we do this in under 4 weeks? Yes, for simple strategies that don't use too many indicators. You can slowly build your other strategies later on once the simpler stuff is up and running.
4/ Costs involved:
- Zerodha API subscription (2k per month).
- Historical data subscription (2k per month). You can unsub after the first month if you don't need it.
- Udemy course (Price keeps changing but it's 490/- right now).
- AWS (Free tier for the first year)

5/ What language?
Python as it is relatively easy with a lot of inbuilt libraries. C++ is better and faster I'm told but it's not like you are running nanosecond HFT strategies with your peasant like retail capital.

6/ Ok, all good. Now tell me how to get started:
https://www.udemy.com/share/102Rp8AEcacVxTTXgF/ By going thru this course and following it step by step.
(This is for Zerodha&Python. If you are on another broker then you'll need to spend additional time to understand your broker's API and functions)

7/ It can't be that simple. Come on. Not falling for this snake oil!
It is that simple but simple is not easy. Post that course, you will need to spend a lot of time on google, Youtube, Stackoverflow etc. for all the questions and issues you'll have. It's part of the process

8.1/ Other questions
- Are you a genius? Always have been
- Do I have to turn on my PC daily to keep the algos running? No. End to end automation. Your algos run in the cloud on AWS. You can run them from your PC if you want. It's up to you on which path you want to take

-So, are you 1000x ing your capital in under 2 days because of algos? Almost. You'll never be as good as me though. Live with it. Sorry, truth hurts :(
- Do I need to know/install Linux? Yes, if you choose to deploy stuff from the cloud. It's not that hard. Trust me

8.3/ Are you a Udemy shill tryna sell the course? No. I got this recommended by someone else and that's how I went about setting up my own stuff. It *literally* has everything lol

- Python, you'll learn it on a "as you go" and "need only" basis. You don't have to know everything. https://www.youtube.com/c/Coreyms/playlists This guy has good Python tutorials. Use them wisely.
