tradingview-webhooks-bot VS stratis

Python can hook up Tradingview to almost any broker in the world using https://github.com/robswc/tradingview-webhooks-bot Also python has optimization and i hear python is very similar to pine so it should be easy to learn. I notice Huge Similaritys to pine in python

>How would I implement algorithmic trading at home?

I made a python framework to try to help with this: https://github.com/robswc/stratis

However, it became hard to maintain an opensource version. I would say its still not a bad way to get a head start (bias there, ofc)

I will say, its not something that can be done "on the side." I originally made a decent amount of $ by getting lucky in crypto. I figured I'd "just become a algo trader" and it was much more difficult than I could have imagined.

I actually _just_ started a series on how to build an equity trading system from scratch. I planned to put part 1 out later this week but eh, I'll post it now, it touches on it better than my comment here can :)

* the post assumes you already have alpha (a profitable strategy)

> Has anyone done this successfully?

Regarding this, I actually originally talked a bit with the (now infamous) SBF of FTX about this. I originally wanted to join Alameda Research... but at the time, I didn't want to move across the world. For years I regretted that decision (not so much now, lol) I started my own firm though and I have made a decent amount of $. Truth be told though, knowing what I know now, I might have put more energy into a start up. I enjoy the challenges of algotrading but doing some consulting work, I think I enjoy "building" more than running statistical tests, cleaning data, etc etc.

To sum up this comment though, _if_ you had a profitable strategy and _if_ you built a system that could reliably execute trades, you certainly could be successful. It is very difficult though.
