The Buffett Bot Playbook

The Buffett Bot Playbook

Six months ago I had investment ideas I couldn’t test fast enough, no programming background, and a $200 experiment with one rule: if the bot loses everything, it dies.

Today that experiment is a multi-strategy trading infrastructure with an eight-factor scoring engine, an interactive backtesting dashboard, and hardcoded risk rules the system can’t override no matter how attractive a signal looks. I built all of it with AI as my co-developer, and this playbook is the full story of how.

Inside its 13 pages: the Buffett principles translated into code, the architecture and how the pieces connect, the eight dimensions the scoring engine evaluates before any trade, the risk framework that puts survival ahead of returns, the moment my AI partner told me to stop building and go read a book, and the exact reading list that followed. Plus the seven lessons I learned the hard way and a step-by-step sequence for starting your own build.

What you won’t find is a get-rich system or a magic parameter set. You’ll find the thinking, the mistakes, and the frameworks, because those are the parts that transfer to whatever you decide to build.
