19-year-old Japanese student claims Claude Code helped him build an AI trading bot in 48 hours and turn $68 into $750,000

A 19-year-old engineering student in Japan says he built a trading bot in two days and turned $68 into $750,000 in profit. The claim comes from a post on X.He used Claude Code, Anthropic’s coding tool, to write the trading logic. An iPad worked as his second monitor. The bot made $6,732 on its first night, according to the post. That’s about 99 times the $68 he started with. Can a Claude Code trading bot really turn $68 into $750,000? The system reportedly monitors more than 50 markets at once, receives live Bitcoin price data from Binance and automatically looks for price differences it can exploit. An iPad serves as a second monitor, while Claude Code helps with the trading logic.
