Not really small business, but similar: side project building stock trading robots with simple Python scripts + my stock exchange broker free API...

Frankly this is making me more money than my salary on average and did really change my life and the ROI is astronomical compared to the monthly costs of few VPS + some money for data...

Everything is working on autopilot and I am free to do whatever I like with my time...

How did you get started learning about how trading strategies?

I went and searched the internet and did test all free trading strategies I could find...

Of course they all failed (no one in the right mind will publish a good trading strategy period), but understand why and how I did came up with my own ideas...

By gaining experience you will start to come up with your own ideas to test... and this is how I found my edge in the market...

Are you able to share any resources that you'd think would be helpful to get someone started building stock trading robots and strategies?

Thanks in advance.

Just focus on the major stock exchanges NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ, do not waste time with crypto, options and other distractions... good luck!
