AI Momentum Trader is a Python bot that places one AI-picked stock or options trade a day on Robinhood, running unattended with real money. You choose a risk profile, whether it trades stocks, options, or both, and which AI (Claude, OpenAI, Grok, or Gemini) picks the trade, each with a single word setting. The AI only decides what to buy. Everything that touches your money, including position sizing, stop losses, a daily loss breaker, and an options expiry guard, is handled by plain, readable Python code rather than the AI itself. The README is upfront that this is an experiment, not a reliable way to make money. It trades with no approval prompts so it can run on its own, options positions can lose their entire value, the riskiest "degen" profile bets your whole account balance on one trade, and positions are held overnight where news or price gaps can trigger losses beyond any stop loss. The code is unaudited and the AI's picks can simply be wrong. The author states clearly this is not financial advice and comes with no warranty. Under the hood, your own computer checks the market every minute during trading hours. It reads your Robinhood account, price quotes, and options data through a Robinhood-provided connection, asks your chosen AI for one trade idea with a direction and confidence level, applies its own risk rules, places the order, and can optionally text you on Telegram when it buys or sells. Nothing runs in the cloud. Setting it up requires Python 3.9 or newer, the Claude Code command line tool logged into your Anthropic account, and a Robinhood account with agentic trading enabled, plus options approval if you want to trade options. Configuration is done either by editing a Python file directly or through a web-based Config Builder that generates the settings block for you to paste in.
