Jev + Claude Opus 5.5 = The Most INSANE AI Trading Bot Ever
This video shows how to build an extremely fast AI trading bot using Jev and Claude. The author (Miles) demonstrates a live high-frequency trading bot running on Hyperliquid.
What is Jev?- Jev is not a traditional LLM, but a System One model.
- It doesn't generate text; instead, it evaluates states and returns structured decisions with probability scores.
- This enables fast classification at a fraction of the cost of Claude.
- Claude (the LLM) handles strategy development, backtesting, and open-ended analysis.
- Jev takes care of fast decision-making during execution – ideal for high-frequency trading with low latency (~300–500 ms).
- The full setup prompt is available for free in the school community.
- Jev is deployed via Vercel, with Claude Code acting as the control center.
- The bot can run on paper trading or live accounts – the architecture is identical.
- There is no magic strategy: 99% of strategies lose money.
- Use backtesting (e.g., custom engines, Quantedia, NFX) and test strategies on paper first.
- Only switch to a live account after successful forward tests.
- Jev can read live headlines (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, Yahoo Finance) and classify them as bullish, bearish, or neutral within milliseconds.
- This makes it possible to build automated news trading systems.
- Alpaca: Simple, supports stocks and crypto, paper and live trading via API.
- Bybit: Better for crypto with lower fees; connect via VPS, MCP, or Trigger Trade.
- Important: set risk rules (max position, daily loss, kill switch) and use alerts or manual approvals for large trades.
Jev is not a replacement for an LLM, but a powerful complement for fast decisions. The technology is useful not only for trading, but also for business workflows (e.g., data classification). Early adopters can gain a real edge.
