You don't need AI for this though. I was doing something like this with a python script and a crypto meta etf I created years ago. I even had some simple heuristics for selecting what coins and quantity to purchase given trading volume and spot price. Its like 175 lines of python. Probably could be a lot leaner too.

I agree I don't need it, I actually wrote a program to automatically buy and sell stuff years ago using Alpaca [1].

I just found it a bit of a pain in the ass to manage a service to do that automatically, vs thirty seconds of chatting and getting results immediately, and having something that can be supplemented by RAGs in the process.

[1] I swear I had a blog post about how I did it somewhere but I seem to have misplaced it.
