Since there was a gap in time after the DRY RUN phase of Bitcoin automated trading, I thought I’d try something similar (or close to it) with Japanese stocks. I’ll break this down into point-by-point articles. --- # Can Japanese Stocks Be Automatically Traded with AI? 🤖📈 I’m currently developing an AI-powered automated trading system for Bitcoin, and I started wondering: “Could this be applied to Japanese stocks too?” So I did some research. The bottom line? Yes, AI-driven automated trading is absolutely possible with Japanese stocks! However, the underlying mechanisms differ slightly between Bitcoin and Japanese stocks. 🔹 **For Bitcoin:** Using the free software “Freqtrade,” you can manage everything—from AI-based price prediction to executing trades—all within a single system. 🔹 **For Japanese stocks:** You need to combine two separate systems: one for predicting stock prices using AI, and another for sending buy/sell orders to your brokerage. Here are three free tools worth exploring: **① Backtrader** A software that backtests trading strategies using historical price data to evaluate potential profitability. **② vectorbt** A tool that enables high-speed comparison across large numbers of stocks and trading patterns. **③ LightGBM** An AI technology that learns from historical stock prices, trading volumes, and other data to forecast future price movements. By combining these tools, you can build your own custom AI stock trader. Moreover, by integrating with your brokerage’s API (the system that allows external software to place orders), you can take it a step further into live automated trading. 💡 **What I found particularly interesting is a unique advantage of Japanese stocks.** While Bitcoin essentially involves trading just one asset, Japanese stocks offer thousands of options. This means you can train your AI to make decisions like: - “Which stock should I buy today?” - “When should I buy and when should I sell?” - “Which stocks should I avoid?” Of course, using AI doesn’t guarantee profits. The standard approach is to first validate strategies using historical data, then test them with virtual funds—and only move to real trading once results are consistently strong. We’re entering an era where AI autonomously identifies stocks and determines optimal trade timing. It’s fascinating that individuals can now research and build such systems using freely available open-source tools! 😊 #AIAutomatedTrading #JapaneseStocks #StockInvestment #Python #MachineLearning #AlgorithmicTrading
