Jacob amaral

Jacob Amaral runs a YouTube channel (33.5K subscribers, 373 videos) focused on algorithmic and automated trading, with a heavy focus on equity options, SPY contracts, and futures. His core editorial format is "build with me," live coding sessions, bot demos, and walkthroughs of strategies like a 0-DTE SPY options bot and a WeBull-integrated trading bot. He maintains a public GitHub presence (Jake0303) and a learning site at codealgotrading.com, which together position him as a credible practitioner in the small but loyal algo-day-trading niche.

He founded WeTradeHQ, an online marketplace he described as "analyzing futures markets to find an edge," and ran it from 2018 to January 2024 out of Barrie, Ontario. Since January 2024 he has worked as a Computer Systems Analyst in quant research at CSCB Management in Miami, Florida, researching and validating systematic trading signals in US futures markets. His channel content stacks algorithmic trading, trading bots, day trading, and quantitative strategies, with a technical audience: people who can read Python, understand brokerage APIs, and want infrastructure rather than market commentary.
