AI Trading 101: How to Use AI Tools to Trade Smarter

What Is AI-Assisted Trading?

AI-assisted trading means using large language models (LLMs) and AI coding tools to write, test, and deploy trading strategies — without being a professional developer.

Instead of spending weeks learning Python from scratch, you can describe what you want in plain English and let AI generate the code for you.

Who Is This Guide For?

This guide covers three paths depending on your background:

1. No-code traders — Use local AI agents like OpenClaw to run bots through natural language commands, no coding needed.
2. Semi-technical traders — Use AI tools to generate and customize bot code.
3. Developers — Use AI to accelerate building sophisticated trading systems.
