Automate my trading strategy on a trading platform with n8n

After searching for days, weeks even. I thought I ask here: I am looking to automate my trading strategy via an automated browser workflow. So n8n going via my instruction and ai to the trading platform. Then add the trades accordingly, check them every 5 minutes and then add or remove trades according to my strategie.

Absolute pain to find a simple browser agent that is free to use to connect to n8n. I searched and I found playwright but it is just to complex for me. I am not a programmer, I want a simple way where I can navigate automatically (and scheduled) to the site, log in, click some things, perhaps scrap some info if needed for my data collection and that is it.

But it seems not easy… if someone can guide me toward what I need in n8n that would be amazing.

Thank you in advance!

SaaS projects like the one you mentioned are never free. Having a UI of your own, n8n as backend… Definitely not hard to make, but also not easy as it sounds. You need to pay for hosting, scrapers and possibly someone who will build you the workflow & front-end. This isn’t the correct channel for this, you can check out Help me Build my Workflow instead. Even then, though, this seems like complete project and a single workflow won’t be enough.

However, services like Apify offer AI-powered agents that can scrape the web. If you can afford that and have basic knowledge in self-hosting, you can possibly achieve your goal.

Thank you for the reply. I ment to do everything locally. I already have many parts that I need. Just the automation of a web browser is challenging. I will make my own workflow in n8n that is not the problem. There is always an open source alternative available, it is just a matter of finding it. Thx I will check it out.

I have a bot(python) that does :

But for placing the orders I use API to place trades, cancel… etc on chosen markets.

The challenge for me is there is no api connection. So I need to do it visually with ai. But thx for the reply!

You can take a look here, maybe it helps as well to “see” how things works without API and want to “navigate” programmatically.

Sadly browserless works with Identifying the labels in the html code. It is not reliable enough for me, I need true vision navigation via ai. But it seems LLM are not there yet. I think I will just wait a few months till visual LLMs are finally consistant.

Hello,

This is not the best practice for automating a trading strategy.
If you’re trading crypto, all major exchanges provide APIs you can use directly.
If you’re trading stocks, you can look into platforms like Alpaca.

You can also simply ask your broker whether they provide an API to use..

Using an official API is always the safest and most reliable approach, especially when dealing with trading and working with funds.
