Trading bot development for Malaysian traders
Updated 7 November 2026
I build trading bots for Malaysian traders: Bursa Malaysia shares through the moomoo API, with US, Hong Kong and Singapore shares on the same account, futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives through a broker connected to CQG, and crypto on SC-registered exchanges such as Luno and Hata. Bots start from $499, ready within 30 days, and every one runs without real money first: for Bursa shares, where the moomoo API has no paper trading, on live prices with its orders switched off.
I'm Shantanu Sahay, working remotely with businesses worldwide. We talk on WhatsApp, email or a video call, whenever suits you. Prices are in US dollars.
What you get
- Your strategy turned into a bot that follows it exactly
- Tested on past market data, then run on paper first
- Trade-only access to your own account: the bot can't withdraw
- Runs on your own PC or a cloud server in your name, as you choose
- The code is yours, with notes on running it yourself
- Two rounds of changes before it goes live

How I build your trading bot
- Tell me your rules and your brokerEntries, exits, size, market and timeframe, and where you trade. Rules still in your head? We write them down together.
- Get a fixed quoteWithin a day. If your broker has no trading API, you pick one that does.
- Tested before real moneyPay half to start. I code the bot, test it on past data, then run it on a demo account or with orders switched off, so you can watch it.

Questions from Malaysian traders
Can you build a forex robot for a Malaysian account?
No. Bank Negara Malaysia lets residents deal in foreign currency only with licensed onshore banks and money changers, so forex bots for Malaysian accounts aren't something I offer. Bots for Bursa shares, futures and crypto are.
Can the bot trade only Shariah-compliant shares?
Yes. The Securities Commission's Shariah Advisory Council publishes the list of Shariah-compliant securities on Bursa Malaysia, updated every May and November, and the bot can use it as a filter, refreshed each time the list changes. For crypto, it can keep to the digital assets the Council marks Shariah-compliant.
Can a bot trade crypto on Luno or Hata?
Yes. Both are registered with the Securities Commission and have trading APIs: Luno's supports trading bots, and Hata has a Malaysia endpoint for MYR pairs. They list from the 23 assets approved for Malaysia's regulated exchanges, 15 of them Shariah-compliant.
What about Binance or Bybit?
Binance and Bybit are not available to Malaysian traders: neither is registered with the Securities Commission, which ordered both to disable their websites and apps in Malaysia.
Can it trade Bursa Malaysia futures?
Yes, through a broker connected to CQG, whose platform routes orders to Bursa Malaysia Derivatives and lists that exchange as tradable for private traders as well as professionals. Any firm dealing in derivatives for you needs a Securities Commission licence, which you can check before you open the account.
Can the bot trade US shares from Malaysia?
Yes. On a moomoo Malaysia account, the moomoo API trades US, Hong Kong and Singapore shares as well as Bursa Malaysia ones, so one bot can cover several markets.
Are you a Malaysian company?
No. I'm an independent developer, working with you remotely over WhatsApp, email or video calls, and the code, the bot and your broker account stay yours.
