Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S10 E5: Sebastian Raffaele, Minotaur Trading Systems

I essentially met Costa, who's the CEO of the business. Costa had come from a traditional finance background. He'd had a lot of success doing that. But we both saw, once again, this gap in the market. And I think I was the kind of guy who had really good ideas. I needed someone to back me and come in and put in some funding and start the company together.

We met at a steakhouse, funnily enough, and we had a really long conversation about what we wanted to do and where we wanted to take this. And this always sticks with me because I remember Costa asking me, this idea is really good. Do you think this can be applied in the real world?

Because so many people have so many good ideas, but it's such a different thing to taking a product to market and not only being able to sell it, but also delivering a result. Once Costa came in and began the funding, from there, the development of the initial strategy began. And it's pretty crazy looking back now because I'm not going to come here and say like our first version of the product.

was as good as it is now because there's quite a large gap disparity between where we are now and where the first version of the product was. And that was simply from us just learning as we go. So building that out, essentially what I had to do first was learn basic pine script coding for TradingView. So TradingView is a tool we've always used to develop our algorithms.

It's a pretty popular charting software that will essentially allow you to go and chart candlestick data, historical data on a myriad of financial markets, not just cryptocurrency. You can do commodities, the lot. What it allows you to do is set alerts. And this is where I started getting an understanding of how we could implement automation into the strategy.

Because what TradingView does is it will allow you to set an alert on the chart. For example, let's say you've got a special technical indicator and you want to have a buy signal from it. You can set an alert and that alert will ping. You'll either get a text message on your phone or a vibration. And that will let you to know to essentially run to the computer and make a trade.

At the start, that's what we'd be doing. We'd be building out a manual strategy, trying to get then an understanding of how we can actually automate this. Now, once I figured out how to essentially automate the actual alert itself, going down the path of using webhook signals, what we found was that those alerts that I would
