Hey, it's Saleh,

From "Algo-trading with Saleh" on YouTube

In 2017, I started trading, thinking I would become the next Warren Buffett. I made hundreds in profit but then gave most of it back when the bear market hit. Clearly, I was not cut out for trading!

Later, I wondered what would happen if I used my programming skills to skip the years needed to become a good trader. Because I wanted to trade based on data; not my gut.

I expected it to take a few weeks; boy, was I wrong. After countless roadblocks and issues, the first version of Jesse was released a year later. I open-sourced it a while later to gather feedback, and it turned out I was onto something because people loved it. I continued developing it while listening to the community's feedback.

Now, many years later, Jesse is a tool that will save you all the years we spent developing it, allowing you to start coding your trading ideas right away. I can now turn my trading ideas into working code in just a few minutes, backtest them to see if they actually work, and confidently launch them for live trading if I like the results.
