Bing Bang Bot

ROLES

Sole AI developer

I built and operate Bing Bang Bot as its sole developer, working entirely through AI-assisted development with Claude Code. My role is direction and judgment rather than typing code: I set the architecture and priorities, define the requirements, and decide what ships. That includes the non-negotiables the system is built around — paper-first with real-money trading gated behind an explicit opt-in, risk controls treated as first-class rather than bolted on, and a statistical bar that any claimed edge has to clear before I'll believe it. Day to day I direct the work, review what comes back, and push until the reasoning holds up: a large share of the most important bugs in this project were found not by writing code but by asking why a number looked wrong, or refusing to accept an explanation that hadn't actually been verified. I own the live deployment, the research agenda, and the decision about which strategies survive.

DESCRIPTION

Bing Bang Bot is an automated equities trading system: a Python/FastAPI server running on Fly.io that trades US stocks through Alpaca, paired with a React Native dashboard for monitoring and control. It runs a mean-reversion strategy — buying statistical dips on liquid, high-volatility names and riding a trailing exit — across several concurrent strategy variants that share a single brokerage account, so each configuration can be A/B tested against the others on identical trades.

​

The mobile app is the control room. A dashboard summarises account equity, per-bot P&L and running broker costs; a positions screen shows every open holding with the option to close one by hand; and a compare screen charts the strategies side by side over any date range, so a config change can be judged on equity curves rather than a single number. A filterable event log streams every decision the server makes — entries, exits, skipped signals, circuit-breaker trips — and each bot has its own detail screen for tuning parameters, reading its trade journal, and starting or stopping it individually. Settings covers push notifications, connection diagnostics and version info, with a global kill switch that halts all trading and flattens positions in one tap.
