I spent twenty minutes asking Claude to build me a working Python trading bot, connect it to a Capital.com demo account, backtest a moving average crossover strategy on EUR/USD, and place a real demo trade. No coding required from me — I just typed natural language back and forth, and Claude built every file.

This is an experiment, not a recommendation. The bot ran against a demo account only and is shared as an example of what AI-assisted retail trading tools can do right now, with full risk disclosures below.

Below is where you can find details of the UK brokers depending on what you’re looking to do:

About me:
I am Thomas Drury, Head of Testing at The Investors Centre. I open real accounts, fund them with real money, and test every FCA-regulated UK broker hands-on. Chartered ACII (2018), trading since 2012.

The Investors Centre (theinvestorscentre.co.uk) is an independent UK trading and investing review site.

⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER ⚠️

This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only. It is NOT financial advice, investment advice, a recommendation to use any trading bot, or a recommendation to use any specific broker.

The trading bot shown was built as an experiment using AI assistance. It was tested only on a free Capital.com demo account using virtual money. It has not been tested with real money and I do not recommend running this or any AI-generated trading bot with real capital.

Algorithmic and AI-assisted trading bots carry significant risks including but not limited to: software bugs, broker connection failures, unexpected market events, strategy failure under live conditions, latency issues, and total loss of capital. Most retail traders who run automated systems lose money over time.

Spread bets and CFDs are complex leveraged products. Most retail trader accounts lose money when trading CFDs and spread bets. Past performance, including backtest results, is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Always test any automated system extensively on a demo account before risking real capital. Consider seeking independent financial advice from an FCA-authorised adviser before making any trading or investment decision. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change.

Capital at risk.
