If they just get the financial headlines and indicators, aren't they all just momentum trading from sentiment analysis?

What is meant by 5 dollar stakes? The bought shares reach triple digits in price.

Each morning the trades are conducted with $5 each, which are mostly fractional shares that are bought.

No stocks have been sold yet, so no profit/loss has been calculated, if you look below, you can see the unrealized gains for stocks being held.

It would be neat to see the process, where they get the data from, how they analyze it.

It would be neat to also see another experiment of a MAS doing this and coordinating to gamble together. Perhaps even different system/arch/expert configs.

This is fun! What kind of prompts / prompting techniques are you using?

Thanks! I use several key prompting techniques: 1. Role + Goal Setting: The AI acts as a creative market analyst focused on discovering overlooked opportunities and emerging trends. 2. Structured Analysis Framework: - Detailed evaluation criteria (innovation, moat, management, growth potential) - Sector diversity requirements - Focus on finding hidden gems vs obvious mega-cap tech stocks 3.

What’s the investment horizon for these daily decisions? Does it have a maximum hold time? How long will you run the experiment and is it enough to cover all the catalysts that are expected?
