Can't help but feel a tad behind when I see videos like the below.

What would you guys recommend as a starting point for implementing ML/AI into my trading?

I think a lot of posts like this aren't true or realistic. Of course the buzzword is AI at the moment and everybody's using it in every form possible but none of the strategies I've developed over the last 20 years have involved using machine learning or AI.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't give it a try or that you shouldn't explore new areas and so on. I'm just a bit sceptical, given the level of focus on these things, that people are using it the way they claim they are.

IMO If you learn to use some of the latest tools, you can use them to gather and analyze data much faster than you ever could have done in the past. I think that's a really unexplored area for a lot of people. That's where you'll find a few edges.

You don't sell something you believe makes 200% per week.

Ask them to share a longer term P&L and see what happens.

Thanks Peter, that's of great help.

I recall seeing you mention somewhere you almost doubled a year-to-year profit somewhere and was just so curious! I'll assume this sort of thing this was a contributor.

Thanks so much for starting BA. 22 years at the forefront of the exchange, and transformed so many lives with your team/product over the years. So grateful.

It's more highlighting a proof of concept (code converting stream into TPD-like data)

I presume a few are on GPT-4o or Claude 3.5 Sonnet paid models? Let me know if you guys have gotten on well with anything else or that presumption is incorrect
