About EDISON
A professional trading bot built to demonstrate AI-assisted development and advanced algorithmic trading concepts
The Story
EDISON started as a vision to create a professional-grade trading bot that demonstrates the power of human-AI collaboration in software engineering. Rather than being built by a traditional team, EDISON was developed using Claude Code, showcasing how advanced AI assistants can help build complex, production-quality systems.
The project combines passion for Smart Money Concepts trading with rigorous software engineering practices. Too many trading bots are built quickly with poor code quality, lack of testing, and no real exchange integration. EDISON challenges this by delivering:
- ✓114,000+ lines of production code in TypeScript strict mode
- ✓2,500+ unit tests ensuring reliability and maintainability
- ✓Real exchange integration with Bybit Futures V5 API
- ✓13+ trading strategies including advanced Smart Money Concepts
- ✓Professional risk management with multiple safeguards
The core philosophy: "Build something that works, is maintainable, and teaches you something about software architecture."
Built with Claude Code
AI-Assisted Development
EDISON demonstrates how Claude Code can be used to build complex, professional-quality systems. The entire architecture, from core strategies to risk management, was designed and implemented with AI assistance.
- • Architecture planning and system design
- • Core implementation of all modules
- • Comprehensive test suite (2,500+ tests)
- • Documentation and guides
- • Website and marketing materials
Why AI-Assisted?
AI assistance accelerated development while maintaining code quality. It helped with:
- • Rapid prototyping and iteration
- • Comprehensive test coverage
- • Architecture reviews and improvements
- • Documentation generation
- • Bug detection and fixes
- • Performance optimization
💡 Key Insight
EDISON proves that AI-assisted development isn't about replacing developers—it's about amplifying their capabilities. By handling routine tasks and providing intelligent suggestions, AI assistants enable developers to focus on architecture, problem-solving, and business logic.
Why Smart Money Concepts?
Beyond Indicators
Most trading bots use simple indicators (RSI, MACD, etc.). EDISON goes deeper by implementing Smart Money Concepts — trading patterns used by institutional traders.
Identify where stop losses cluster and institutions hunt for liquidity
Recognize zones where large orders were executed and support/resistance formed
Spot unfilled price zones that institutions will revisit to fill
Educational Value
EDISON is designed to teach. You can:
Learn how to build a multi-strategy trading system with clean code
See Smart Money Concepts implemented in production code, not just theory
Backtest strategies and paper trade before risking real money
Core Values
