It started off as a stocks/equities single LIVE trading algorithm that lost me $5 over the two weeks I ran it for. I got bored and wanted to get riskier. I told Claude to research options trading methods, pick one, harden it, run that in shadow mode for a while, and make no mistakes. Another failure. (Apologies for all of the dead code in the repo, we went through several iterations.)

But then I came across a comment on another forum where someone said they were running many methods in parallel; I am an idiot.

None of these strategies are a secret of mine, I am not a financial professional nor a mathematician, I am just a community college dropout with a Max x20 subscription. I genuinely just want to give you all a head start so you don't start three weeks behind like I did. All of my research docs are in the repo if you want to have your agent audit my work or take anything from it to improve your own system. We aren't racing each other, this is the ground-floor that most people are starting at.

It is a completely open-to-any-eyes repo, using published/established systems. You won't gain any edge from where it currently stands, the whole idea is to improve it over time using real market data. I have a machine/local EOD Claude skill that tweaks everything daily, I'd recommend you do the same: because edge does not come from published systems, published systems lose edge when they get published.

So here's the whole platform. Steal it, fork it, clone and tweak it, all I ask in return is a star on Github if it helps you at all–to help others find it, and for the thrill of having Github stars.

I downloaded quite a few 7-8 apps that had free trials then wanted money without ever giving anything besides the top gainers list which I can just look at on fidelity or Robinhood, yahoo finance, etc. this app I think looks for leading gainers primarily with a somewhat recent stock split among other parameters. I haven't seen it recommend a single bad stock if you get it right at alert or very soon after and it only recommends between 1-5 stocks a day depending on how hot the Market is. I'm not sponsored or affiliated in any way with them but it's completely free . No add popups ever and turned my $12.75 into $23 (just testing it's accuracy) next week I'm going to put more confidence (money) in its recommended alerts especially Monday and Tuesday. They show long and short positions entry levels, news scanner , publish their own news articles and aggregate a lot of data with sources and FEC filings . 67% roi so far with real money invested based on it's alert $3.44 fill price $5.75 sell limit triggered and buzzed my pocket while at work when stock unhalted free $10 to dip my toes in the water with real money. 45% average across 3 weeks on paper trading (with actual pencil and paper) . Also shout-out Mark Tilbury and Ross Cameron for starting me on this journey April 16th .

Hey, today's my birthday and I wanted to celebrate by documenting something I've been building for the past 2 months. I've been trading futures for 3 years. Passed evals, secured payouts, understand the game.

About two months ago I had a realization: I already had the edge. What I needed was to build a system around it. I knew AI had become powerful enough that I could automate what I already knew, build something that lives and trades in real time, and then use that same AI to analyze the live data and refine the strategy over time. That became ALA — Autonomous Learning Algorithm.
The first month was rough. I live-logged 17 trades, built a dashboard to capture everything, and fed the full trade log into a Hermes AI analysis agent. It instantly produced a structured report; flagged the dominant loss pattern, identified what was working, what wasn't. Counter-trend entries against a declining EMA were killing the longs. I implemented the recommended filters. The results flipped completely. Here are the results! Just ran the first fully automated session yesterday! Long way to go but the foundation feels solid.

Going to keep posting updates as the journey continues. Check my profile if you want to follow along

Like Claude Code, but for trading: a terminal agent that fetches market data, runs backtests, and pulls news/sentiment from plain-English prompts.

• No more glue scripts between yfinance, news, and notebooks
• Insider + congress trade overlays built in
• Extensible tool system

Here's a real session, replayed — it takes "How to hedge my current oracle position?" and works it into a portfolio-aware options collar, researching and revising across 8 turns: https://tradeinsight.info/ti-agent/demo/hedge

Been running my algo on XAUUSD (M30) through this chop between ~$3970-4130, and wanted to share a few observations:

• Range-bound whipsaws are brutal for signal density. You can see the bot flipping direction fast around the $4000-4020 zone — a lot of quick reversals there, but it’s what let it stay positioned for the bigger move down to $3970 and back up.
• The bounce off $3970 was the cleanest signal of the week. Tight cluster of confirming arrows right at the low, then a strong ride back up past $4060.
• The fakeout rejection near $4085 today is a good example of why I don’t let it chase every spike — it flagged the reversal fast instead of holding through it.

Hey AI Traders, Kim here.

Right now before a trade you check the news. Maybe ask chatgpt or google ai.
Might go on X, or even looking at COT reports if you're diligent (or even prompting that too!)

I built EchelonEdgeAI to make all of that a million times better:

More accurate. I'm currently paying for real data feeds (Financial Modelling Prep) and also adding in free but institutional data feeds (FRED/EIA) to feed my AI. Things like real yields, live pricing, indexes etc.

More convenient. No prompting, no typing a question and hoping you asked it right. Pick your asset or flip the swing toggle. That's it. The answer also doesnt change unless theres new data to debate that (Compared to AI's that keep changing their mind even if you ask the same q twice)

More intelligent. It's not just answering the one thing you thought to ask. It's tracing the kind of chain most people wouldn't think to follow. E.g:
Copper mine disruption → chip production slows → tech stocks take a hit → NAS100 drags with it.
Iran tensions → oil supply risk → USDCAD moves.
That's the stuff sitting three steps away from the obvious headline, connected automatically.

Faster. Live X feeds can be the fastest source of news especially from accounts like Financial Juice or Unusual Whales. (Currently refreshing every 15-30 min while I'm keeping API costs sane in free beta, that'll get much tighter once it's paid) Being upfront: not instant yet, just faster than checking five accounts yourself.

More in the loop. Actual CFTC COT data displayed super cleanly. Where hedge funds and institutions are actually positioned right now. So you dont trade against them.

Then it collapses all of that into one summary.

Free to use right now.

I'm planning to move to paid pricing eventually, though genuinely open to pushing that back if people are getting real value and want more time. If you want to try it, drop a comment and I'll send it over. Would love feedback either way.

Interesting? Good? Bad? Didnt feel much value? Anything you feel would be amazing guys.

for months i only logged the trades my system actually took. and i kept staring at a break-even curve wondering where the edge was hiding. then it hit me that every setup my bot rejected, i had zero record of. i had no idea if my filter had edge or was just reducing how often i traded. completely different things and i couldn't tell them apart.

so i started logging the skips. every setup that almost qualified but got filtered out, i tracked what it would have done, same exit rules and same time horizon as my real trades. that horizon part matters, a skip that "would have won" three days later means nothing if your real trades close in an hour.

the uncomfortable part: some of my filters were saving me from losers, but a couple were killing trades that would have printed. i was proud of those filters. they were costing me money.

so here's my actual question, do you track your skips at all? and if you do, have you ever found a filter you were proud of that turned out to be costing you? because that one stung and i want to know if it's common

Built this because of my own ugly month. My journal showed me 7 trades, 0 percent win rate, minus 248 dollars, and 3 entries without a stop loss. I would have sworn it was one. That gap between the trader I thought I was and what my fills actually said is the whole reason the tool exists.

It's called DojiPad and the part I need tested is the coach, DJ. It doesn't just log your trades. Before your session it writes down a prediction about your behavior, stuff like if your first trade loses you'll re-enter the same direction within 15 minutes. Then it scores its own prediction against your real fills. So you're not trusting the coaching, you can check its hit rate on you specifically.

Full disclosure, I'm the founder. Looking for 10 active traders to test it properly:

You get 3 months of the Pro version free, no card, full platform, journal, simulator, replay, the coach.

You trade how you normally trade for a few weeks.

You tell me honestly what the predictions caught and what they missed. If DJ whiffs on you I want to hear that louder than the wins, a wrong prediction is data too.

Reply here with what you trade and I'll sort out spots this week. Not linking anything unless mods say it's fine.

Core Idea : Alright so what i essentially did is that Ai fetches the Market data for you and then splits into 2 core paths :

1. Ai Vision Coach
   
2. A Chart Replay Engine

The very foundation lies in the Vision coach which is actually claude integrated , so what it does is , the Ai coach reads the frozen chart for structures like order blocks , liquidity sweeps , fair value gaps , fibonacci retracements , trendlines , HH ,LL , no matter what startegy you trade , the Ai coach marks all these structures on your chart which saves you a ton of time and also its insanely accurate . Its called tradexis

Alongside this , the Ai coach is essentially trained on your previously repeated patterns , so evey time you are trading the same futures or forex or commodity it reminds you of what went right or wrong with the last trade on that same thing you were trading.( depending upon whether that last trade was profitable or not) .

The chart replay engine actually helps you backtest extensively powered by the Ai coach helping you identify the setups and leaks in the market .

Also it has a prop firm drawdown tracker for the ones trading funded accounts in accordance with FTMO , apex and other top prop firms drawdown rules so it lets you backtest with this tracker integrated into the system .

This is not an automated trading bot , its like an Ai living in your charting system helping you identify structures and fit your trading setups accordingly saving you time and hassle for FREE , i made it for myself to show as a project in my college semester practical ( i am pursuing CS at Stevens ) but since if it can help out others then you def give it a shot .

No hallucinated math and No
blind automation.

Same EA, same parameters, MT5. Backtest on tick data shows a smooth curve, live has been running about 20% below expectancy over ~200 trades. Logic is identical so it's not a code divergence, I've traced most of the gap to two things: slippage on entry during fast moves, and the fact that my backtest assumed fills at prices that just weren't available live.

Currently live on AvaTrade. Before I go blaming the broker I want to rule out that my backtest was simply naive, no slippage model, no spread widening assumption, fills at ideal prices. My suspicion is that's 70% of the gap and execution venue is the other 30%.

For people who've actually A/B'd this: did you find execution quality varied enough between brokers to matter for a short-hold EA, or is the real lesson always "your backtest was lying to you"? Trying to figure out which lever to pull before I waste a month migrating brokers for a problem that was mine all along.

Has anyone already tried the MCP tradingview?i just saw someone posted it into X.

But i guess it requires premium TV.

It has lots of potential i must say

Every "I made an LLM read the 10-K" post I've seen ends the same way: a screenshot, a do-it-yourself MCP setup, no pipeline. If the model really reads the filings, show me the whole path from filing to number. So here's mine, open-sourced: https://github.com/wbaik/sapient.finance

The agents read the actual filings and come out with exactly three numbers, bear/base/bull: revenue CAGR, exit operating margin, exit multiple. Each one traces back to the filing — one surprise while building this was how much detail filings actually disclose about the business. The model never sees the price and never outputs a valuation. A fixed formula runs, and the result gets published as-is. The formulas are all in the repo.

Example. INTU, EV/EBIT, 14 Jul 2026. It picked 7/11/15% growth, 27/31/34% margin, 18/24/30x. Base case works out to $591.67 a share. Price was $282.43.

I've run valuations on 258 tickers so far.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking into Chronos-9 (https://chronos9.com/), which sells an AI bot that predicts the 15-minute Bitcoin market on Kalshi.

The website claims a prediction accuracy of 72%+, and the owner has posted on Discord that they’re expecting to improve it to around 80% with upcoming updates.

The problem is that I genuinely can’t tell whether this is a legitimate product or a scam.
One thing that makes me cautious is that the Discord has 750+ members, but it seems like it’s mostly the same handful of people commenting and sharing results.
Has anyone here actually used the bot?

Thanks!

Hi there, just wanted to share my thoughts on the topic. It is hard to ignore that ChatGPT and Claude have changed the way we write code, communicate and work.

So it was logical to expect some kind of breakthrough in retail trading. But to be honest, I don't see it. I see that lots of people are still saying trading and mean charting, i.e. technical indicators, etc. And Claude and ChatGPT are used only to create even crazier combinations of these charts that would be proudly called strategies, etc.

I mean, trading is about data series, and the obvious and available data series are price data, bars and volumes. But the problem is that they likely have no predictive power. And even if they had, it would have been immediately exploited by professional traders and institutional players.

And for a retail trader, the opportunity may lie only in searching for market inefficiencies and opportunities in dark corners, by looking at alternative data sources, maybe exploring small niche markets not lucrative enough for the big boys. So I would expect that people would try to use AI to search for potentially interesting and trackable alternative data sources, like Google Trends, prediction markets, customer behavior (website visits, etc.), standardise them and try to build systems on top.

And some are doing this, but the mainstream narrative is still where it was, or am I wrong? I mean, I didn't touch trading for the last two years, although it is one of my interests, because I was focused on building other things. Now I am back and went through threads on Twitter and here on Reddit, and I see exactly the same crap: we are backtesting EMA crossovers and sharing our charts!!! In 2026 - what is this? It is like a time machine, but not to 2024, but rather to 1991.

What are your thoughts? Am I wrong and looking in the wrong places, or am I wrong and technical indicators and charting are THE thing? Or maybe there is no trading at all, the markets have become so efficient that no retail trader is able to extract any meaningful and stable value from them?

What are you researching, what are you reading and what data are you using? WHAT IS AI TRADING?!

I started out making this for me and a few friends. I have been trading since 2014 but they are starting up so at first I gave them some learning material. Then some AI assistance and now it’s spun into a full AI Trading OS

There is a windows downloadable version that can connect to MT5 directly and test strategies/analyze your portfolio/give you signals. It can also do live trading for you based on your strategies/the signals it generates/or some other parameters.

I have been testing it and will be documenting the tests live in the next weeks to show how it’s been doing for me. It does better than I do for sure. Over the past 4 months it has made 47% using my strategy but not my discipline. That has always been my biggest issue.

It also builds a profile just for you that it learns over time.

You can connect it to any LLM including a locally hosted model for complete privacy.

The research tab checks over 150 different sources online for data for forex/stocks/commodities/indexesand and crypto. I am running a BTC & ETH node already so I will implement crypto live analysis from that data also on whale movements and money tracking. That will be the next update in a few weeks hopefully.

You can check it out here

https://aitradingos.com

There is a free version that essentially gives you all the data and none of the AI stuff so it doesn’t cost me so I am not charging for that.

You can also run it completely locally though it is not open sourced … yet… may be… 🤷
