Project Summary

  • Date: Oct 21, 2021 → Oct 23, 2021
  • Description: Quotex Auto Trader is a browser extension built to automate trading actions on the Quotex platform. The project was developed to help streamline and execute trading strategies without manual intervention.

Motivation

I was new to trading and started experimenting on various platforms, including Quotex (a fake trading platform for testing strategies). After trying several online strategies, I noticed that some were repetitive and didn't require full human intelligence. Instead of manually repeating the same actions, I built this browser extension to automate the process.

Tech Stack

  • JavaScript – core trading logic and automation.
  • HTML – extension popup and settings UI.
  • CSS – minimal styling for the user interface.

Key Features

  • Automated Trade Execution: Triggers buy/sell actions on the Quotex platform based on predefined rules, eliminating the need for manual input.
  • Browser Extension Integration: Runs as a lightweight browser extension that directly interacts with the Quotex web interface.
  • Configurable Settings UI: Includes an extension popup and settings interface (built with HTML/CSS) for user control over automation parameters.
  • Real-time DOM Monitoring: Manages asynchronous events and DOM manipulation to capture live trading signals and act on them instantly.
  • Minimal Overhead: Built primarily with JavaScript (84.7%) for core logic, ensuring fast performance with little visual footprint (only 0.2% CSS).
