Chapter 22: Plan to Create an Assistant
Tyler was on his way home to pick up his laptop. He needed it to create the trading account, as the platform he intended to use only allowed online registration.
The trading platform Tyler intended to use was IBKR. It was the best at the time and the only one that allowed smooth integration of fully autonomous bots like VaultX.
The platform was also known to be very unfriendly for beginners but Tyler was no beginner.
But the major problem that Tyler has with the platform was their minimum deposit which is a whopping $10,000.
Unlike in the future where $0 was the minimum deposit, the amount at the time was outrageous.
But Tyler wasn’t going to give up. He still has a little over $11,000 and if he take $10,000 out of it, he will be left with over $1,000.
But the trading account wasn’t the only thing that requires a minimum deposit. It was the same for the bank account too.
David intends to open an account in BoA and he would need $300 for it. Tyler will be the one to fund this and after that, he will be left with $700.
"$35,000 gone in a flash," Tyler muttered, shaking his head. "It didn’t even last two days."
Tyler finally got home, headed straight to his room to grab his laptop and the money, and left without wasting a second, making his way back to David’s place.
When he got there, David wasn’t home, but he had given Tyler a key before leaving, so Tyler let himself in.
