Long, long time ago, I started writing my stock trading robots in Python and I am still using it to this day... Not sure why I chose it, maybe it was easy to learn for a non developer like me (one thing I don&#x27;t like is the syntax), but way too late to change the language, there is no way I am rewriting my robots... if something works, don&#x27;t touch it :-)

I wrote a script that runs a cronjob that checks if someone posted &quot;What you have automated with Python&quot;.<p>If my bot is positive, it creates a post that says that we had this already a few months ago.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=14339959" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=14339959</a>
