Build a Trading Algo with AI | No Coding Required

Algo trading has traditionally seemed out of reach for non-programmers. AI coding assistants are changing that. In this video, Karthik Rangappa, an experienced trader but a non-programmer, builds his very first semi-automated algo with Akshay guiding him through the process. Using simple natural-language prompts and an AI coding assistant, they go from a simple moving-average crossover idea to an actionable screener — without Karthik having to write a single line of code. From setting up the required tools and connecting to Kite Connect to building the trading logic and turning it into a working dashboard, the video walks through the entire process step by step, showing how AI coding assistants can make algo trading far more accessible to traders who don't know how to code.
