I built a crypto trading bot with Claude that made me +$8,262 in 7 days. I can't believe more people aren't doing the same - it's stupidly easy. How to build a crypto trading bot with Claude (three simple steps): 1. Tool stack setup You need three things talking to each other for this to work: • Claude Code on desktop installed and running • A Bybit MCP Server - this will be the bridge between Claude and your exchange (works with other exchange MCPs too) • Your exchange API key Tell Claude Code to connect these three things in a new project. Once connected, Claude can read market data, place orders, check positions, and manage risk from plain English. Step 2. Write your strategy Open a CLAUDE.md file and describe your market strategy: • Entry/exit rules • Risk caps and position sizing • Allowed pairs • Execution protocol Write this file like you'd explain your strategy to another trader. Step 3. Add a risk gate (non-negotiable) Before going live, ask Claude Code to set these up: • Kill switch - halts all trading instantly if triggered • Daily loss cap • Notional cap - no single order above [x]% NAV • Leverage cap -no single order above [x] leverage So simple a 10-year-old could set it up - full architecture in the image below:
