Hey everyone,
I'm a systems programmer with experience in Go and Rust, and I'm looking to build a serious, production-grade automated trading bot connected to Bybit and/or Binance. I've done my homework on the technical side β WebSocket market data feeds, order execution, risk management infrastructure β but I want to build this as a team rather than solo, because the hardest part isn't the code: it's the strategy.
π― What I'm building
A fully automated crypto trading system covering:
- Real-time market data ingestion (order book, trades, candlesticks)
- Strategy engine with pluggable signal modules
- Order execution with smart routing and latency optimization
- Risk management layer (position sizing, drawdown limits, circuit breakers)
- Backtesting framework with realistic slippage and fee modeling
- Deployed on low-latency VPS close to exchange infrastructure
π₯ Who I'm looking for
Most needed:
- People with experience or serious interest in quantitative trading strategies β mean reversion, stat arb, funding rate arbitrage, trend following, market making, etc.
- Anyone who has built or studied backtesting frameworks and understands the pitfalls (overfitting, lookahead bias, survivorship bias)
Also welcome:
- Go or Rust developers who want to work on something non-trivial
- People with a background in data science / ML applied to price/order flow data
- Traders (manual or algorithmic) who understand market microstructure
You don't need to be an expert in everything β genuine curiosity, intellectual honesty, and willingness to learn matter more than credentials.
π€ How I see this working
This would be a collaborative side project to start β no money on the table yet, just building and learning together. If we find a strategy with a genuine edge, we can discuss deploying real capital as a group. I believe in transparency: shared codebase (private repo), open discussion on strategy logic, and honest reporting of backtest and live results.
I'm not interested in hype or "guaranteed profit" thinking. I want people who understand this is hard, uncertain work β and find that exciting rather than discouraging.
π¬ Reach out if...
- You've thought about algo trading but didn't want to go it alone
- You have strategy ideas you've never had the engineering bandwidth to test properly
- You're a developer who wants a technically challenging, real-world project
- You just want to learn how this world works alongside others
Drop a comment or DM with a bit about your background and what you'd bring to the table. Looking forward to meeting some like-minded people! π
