About DayTradeCoder

My name is Preston James Lord.

I started coding in the 1980s on a Commodore 64, and over the past 40+ years that curiosity evolved into a career as a full-stack developer and Linux specialist. Today, I build and manage SaaS platforms and infrastructure for clients around the world.

When I started day trading in late 2024, my first instinct was simple:

I can build tools to make this easier.

That led me into Pine Script development for TradingView, where I began creating custom indicators and charting tools to better understand market behavior and streamline decision-making.

Everything changed when I discovered DAS Trader Pro.

DAS scripting allowed me to turn trading rules into real-time execution tools — building hotkeys with embedded logic, automated checks, and workflow automation. Trading became faster, more structured, and significantly more efficient.

From there, I expanded the system further.

Using my own Linux infrastructure, I built a custom ecosystem that connects DAS Trader Pro with TradingView through dedicated servers, APIs, browser extensions, and web-based tools.

The goal is simple:

  • Reduce decision time
  • Eliminate manual chart syncing
  • Automate technical checks
  • Improve execution speed in fast-moving markets

The result is a trading workflow designed to reduce friction and keep focus on the trade — not the setup.

Over time, I realized these tools could help other traders as well. That’s why I created DayTradeCoder: to share the systems, scripts, and workflows I use every day and continue improving them alongside the trading community.

Today, DayTradeCoder focuses on:

  • My personal trading setup and hardware
  • DAS Trader scripting and automation
  • Workflow optimization for active traders
  • Educational content through YouTube

I’m also building a YouTube channel dedicated to DAS scripting and trading automation. When I was learning, I found very few clear, in-depth resources available, so my goal is to create the kind of practical content I wish existed when I started.

I continue to trade the pre-market daily while refining these tools and systems to make trading more efficient, systematic, and accessible.

If you’re looking to move faster, reduce friction, and build a more structured trading workflow — that’s what DayTradeCoder is all about.

Follow along on YouTube as I continue building tools, scripts, and trading workflows in real time.
