Looking for a solution to automate my trades based on a specific index

I want to set up an automated copy trading system that works as follows: import a CSV file containing the history and composition of an index portfolio, then directly synchronize changes and rebalancing on my trading account.

The ideal workflow would be: CSV data → analysis of portfolio changes → automatic order execution on my platform.

Has anyone already experimented with this kind of integration between an index tracking system and a trading platform? Are there tools or APIs that could do the job?

Haha, isn't this just trying to create an automatic tracking bot? To be honest, it's a bit risky.

This requirement sounds good, but honestly, most platforms' APIs have limitations. To achieve full automation of position adjustments, you still need to write your own scripts.

If I had known there was such a handy tool, I would have automated it earlier. Now I regret it to death.

Isn't this just wanting an index tracking bot? Just connect the API, like CCXT or the native exchange API, to save trouble.

Isn't this just trying to create an automated index tracking bot... To be honest, the barrier to entry isn't as high as I imagined. Just use the API interface and CSV parsing to get it done; the key is that the platform itself must support it... But to be safe, it's better to test a few more rounds.

Sounds good, but this kind of automation depends on whether your exchange supports APIs. Some exchanges have very strict restrictions.
