Teach Your Trading Bot to Read Candles (Before You Risk a Dollar)
Most trading bots are just guessing with extra steps. They react to
price — they don't read the market. That's why mine kept losing.
The fix was Kronos — an open-source forecasting engine built for
financial time series. You feed it candle data, and it predicts where
price is likely headed next. Think of it as giving your bot eyes
instead of a coin flip.
Here's the part most people skip: I wired the forecasts into Alpaca's
paper trading first. The bot traded fake money for weeks while I
watched. When the win rate held, then — and only then — did real
dollars enter the picture.
The full setup is in my Kronos for AI Agents guide ($47): how to pull
candle data, run Kronos forecasts, connect the signal to Alpaca, and
map it all to prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket.

Start with paper. Let the bot prove itself. Then scale.
