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.
