I created the only no-code platform to algorithmically trade the TRUMP coin!

President Donald J. Trump is a polarizing figure. But this post is not about his politics.

It’s about his meme coin.

On January 17th, 2025, Trump announced the “Trump Coin”, the official cryptocurrency associated with his image. This coin is hosted on the Solana blockchain, and has been extremely volatile (even for crypto standards) after its release.

And now, you can create an autonomous algorithmic trading strategy using the TRUMP coin, PEPE, Bitcoin, and all of the world’s most popular cryptocurrencies.

And yes, it’s free.

What is an algorithmic trading strategy?

Before we dive into the mechanics of our no-code platform, let’s take a moment to understand exactly what an algorithmic trading strategy is — and why it’s a game-changer for traders of all skill levels.

An algorithmic trading strategy is simply a set of deterministic predefined rules for entering and exiting trades. Unlike manual trading, for example, with the Robinhood app, algorithmic trading is far more systematic.

However, algorithmic trading has previously been inaccessible to the vast majority of people. To create an algorithmic trading strategy, you had to have knowledge in programming, APIs, and be a knowledgeable trader.

How many people do you know with that set of skills?

So I set out to build something new — a platform that helps non-technical people automate their trading decisions without having to write a single line of code.

So now, instead of having to:

1. Wake up at 9:30AM
2. Look at your watchlist of stocks and cryptocurrencies
3. Figure out which stocks are at the price levels you want
4. Go to the asset’s page and manually buy and sell the stocks
5. And then missing your opportunities because everything moved in 8 seconds…

You can instead create a free account with the NexusTrade platform and describe your strategy in plain English to an AI that can understand you.

With this new approach:

• Our deterministic rules evaluate the specified conditions instead of asking us to make each decision on gut feel. They can still lose money.
• Our rules are testable, both on historical data and in real-time
• The strategy checks its conditions on its configured schedule. A fast move between evaluations or an unfilled order can still leave a trade unexecuted.
• We can explain our strategy objectively. No more grifters relying on psuedo-science bullshit to sell courses

The NexusTrade platform used to just support a handful of cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and a couple of others.

But now, I’ve made the decision to triple my crypto offerings, and offer currencies like the TRUMP coin.

Deploying a trading strategy with TRUMP and PEPE coins in 3 easy steps

Now that you understand the core principles of algorithmic trading, let’s explore how you can put these ideas into action using the NexusTrade platform.

Creating a trading strategy with these new cryptocurrencies is very simple.

Step 1: Define your trading rules

Your trading rules dictate when you will enter and exit a trade. Using NexusTrade, you can make rules based on most US stocks and the following cryptocurrencies:

AAVE, AVAX, BAT, BCH, BTC, CRV, DOGE, DOT, ETH, GRT, LINK, LTC, MKR, PEPE, SHIB, SOL, SUSHI, TRUMP, UNI, USDC, USDT, XRP, XTZ, YFI

For this article, we’ll do the following simple strategies.

PEPE buy: If I have no PEPE or my PEPE position is down 10% or more, buy 20% of portfolio value.
PEPE sell: If my PEPE position is up 10% or more and (I have never sold PEPE or its price is 5% above my last sale price), sell 20% of portfolio value.
TRUMP buy: If I have no TRUMP or my TRUMP position is down 10% or more, buy 20% of portfolio value.
TRUMP sell: If my TRUMP position is up 10% or more and (I have never sold TRUMP or its price is 5% above my last sale price), sell 20% of portfolio value.

Creating the rules produced a historical test. Before following this example, inspect its evaluation schedule and available capital. A dip-buy condition can remain true at the next evaluation, so these words alone do not limit it to one purchase. Check the saved condition grouping and the event sequence to see whether a second purchase occurred and how cash limited it.

With your trading rules clearly defined and backtested, the next step is to save them to your profile by adding them to a portfolio.

Step 2: Save the portfolio

Once we’ve iterated on our rules and are satisfied with them, we can add them to our portfolio.

First, we need to determine if we’re deploying our rules to the actual stock market or if we’re testing it in real-time.

For a live version, first verify that the selected broker and your account support the exact TRUMP and PEPE instruments, then connect the eligible account. Connecting Alpaca alone does not establish coin eligibility. The setup shown in this article is a paper example.

We've integrated with Alpaca to allow you to deploy algorithmic trading strategies in a live trading environment…

Alpaca is like Robinhood for investing apps; they allow platforms like NexusTrade to execute real trades easily.

Once we set up our Alpaca integration (or if we just want to test our strategy in real-time), we’ll click our strategy card in the chat.

The screenshot reports a portfolio result above 90% for its selected window. That is a combined TRUMP/PEPE result. TRUMP was announced on January 17, 2025, so a twelve-month portfolio window does not mean twelve months of TRUMP participation. The article does not give each asset’s first available bar, effective test interval or trades; those records are needed to attribute the result.

Next, we’ll then click “Select Portfolio.

For this paper walkthrough, choose + Create New Paper Trading Portfolio. A live version requires a broker/account that supports the exact instruments and a separate eligibility check before you choose its live portfolio.

We’ll then update the portfolio’s name and click “Create Portfolio”.

The portfolio is saved. Its historical test shows behavior in the selected window; it does not establish the strategy’s future outcome. Before deployment, check the per-asset history, schedule, available capital and repeated-buy events described above.

Step 3: Deploy the portfolio

To deploy our portfolio, we’ll click “Launch to Market”, “Start Trading”, and then “Save”. It’s that easy!

Bonus Steps!

As an added bonus, we can:

• Edit our strategies
• Audit the events our portfolio emits
• Optimize our trading strategy to find better parameters for different market periods
• Run more advanced, in-depth backtesting

The process is just so simple, thanks to artificial intelligence!

Concluding Thoughts

Trump might be a polarizing figure, but his cryptocurrencies has made some people rich and other people poor. The people that suffer the most are the degenerate gamblers that buy and sell based on gut feel and emotions.

You don’t have to be one of those people.

Use the saved rules and event screenshots to inspect the example. To prepare your own version, ask Aurora for the four rules, their evaluation schedule and capital constraints before choosing a paper or live portfolio.

Or, just “diamond hands” your memecoins directly to zero. It’s up to you.
