88capital — automated investment strategy as content
● Running
88capital is a rules-based automated investment strategy and content brand. The strategy – an 80/20 split between long-term ETFs and a signal-driven dip-buying layer – was built and automated using n8n workflows, Yahoo Finance data, and AI-generated Slack narratives. The goal is an automation template for an personal investment portfolio that generates passive income with minimal active management..
What it does
88capital is a a personal automated investment strategy with structured and documented workflows – each article will cover a piece of the methodology – broker and fund selection, signal logic, automation setup – using tools like: IBKR, Koyfin, Sharesight, n8n.
The n8n automation suite is the core digital product. A series of scheduled workflows handle signal detection (drawdown, RSI, SMA), AI-assessed alert narratives, Slack notifications, and a weekly digest. These are documented and publicly available. Further enhancements, such as automated execution and dynamic sector based watchlists fuelled by sentiment analysis, can be added in subsequent phases.

Reflection
The automation to create the digital product (the n8n workflow package) was the interesting part – now adding the content is the work, which is where the workflows from Nexus come in. Writing about an automated investment strategy that you’ve built is straightforward, but AI-sourcing the initial draft articles helps reduce the effort of documenting the strategy.
