Prosper Automated Investing with Nickel Steamroller

by 3 Comments

I recently got to a point financially where I was comfortable investing with Prosper.  I wanted to be able to compare the two platforms as well as diversify my peer to peer lending investments across both Lending Club and Prosper. As an added bonus, you get to follow along as I report on my returns and learn how I invest with Prosper.  Since I have no interest in hand selecting loans, it was a no brainer for me to automate with Nickel Steamroller - which is currently free. If you’re interested in automating your investing with Nickel Steamroller, please be sure to contact them and let them know I sent you.  They also offer automation with Lending Club and in my opinion are the number one resource for peer to peer lending analytics. In my next post, I plan to outline more in detail my thoughts on investing with Prosper, but for now here is my latest video on automating my Prosper investing with Nickel Steamroller!

If only it were this easy…

Over the last couple of months, we have featured 3 tools for automating your investments in Lending Club.  Before the question and answer sessions we posted, my process for my investing was completely manual. Brian was investing manually as well and he actually setup a third party mobile app to send him notifications just before Lending Club releases notes.  Even with my relatively small account, I was missing feeding times and had available cash just sitting in my account pretty often.  Automation tools are starting to mature and I decided that it was finally time for me to try them out and hopefully help others who were considering automation.  [Read more...]
