I Built a 10K/Month Crypto Trading Bot with AI

This was actually insane. I built a crypto trading bot with AI and powered it with live market data from CoinGecko API, which, based on my hands-on experience and testing, is the best API for building crypto trading bots across multiple chains. Watch me build it, backtest it on historical data, then forward test it with live WebSocket feeds and paper trading. 👉 Get your CoinGecko API key (free, no credit card needed): https://trckr.com/tjdvewf Why I used the CoinGecko API for the bot: one integration covers centralized exchange prices and onchain DEX data (18,000+ coins, 43M+ tokens, 360+ networks), every call costs 1 credit no matter how much data comes back, and it has native AI developer tools (MCP server, CLI, Agent Skills, and pay-per-use x402 endpoints). What happens in this video: - Picking a strategy: a moving average crossover - Using AI to build the bot and a dashboard with paper equity - Pulling live crypto prices from the CoinGecko API - Backtesting the strategy on historical data - Forward testing with CoinGecko's sub-second WebSocket streams Everything here is paper trading and simulated results. Not financial advice.
