#14This is wild. I nearly got banned from Robinhood for just running DCA using an unofficial python api. Crazy how times change.

#15No thanks. I prefer artisanal financial ruin.

#16I don’t understand this constant fascination with having language models trade stocks. Language models are very useful tools but not aligned at all with generating alpha.
AI agents for trading, as well as 24/7 trading are no different than offering sports gambling and prediction markets to the masses; it is a vacuum for the fiat of the unsophisticated. The goal is more trading volume to generate more fees, similar story with private equity wanting access to 401ks to unload PE at peak valuations to bag holders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window
well said truth

The usual question: what's "aligned with generating alpha" that a human stock trader can do, but an ai can't?
That is sidestepping the point: 70-90% of retail traders lose money. The question should be: is AI trading enough of an improvement to justify its non-subsidized costs?

#18I don’t understand why anybody would use LLM:s for trading (other than some narrow speed trading news)
even in that case I would have an LLM analyzing the news trigger a deterministic API call. I can't imagine the use case for this besides vibe-trading

#19I wonder how much Robinhood will profit from this change.
Obviously how much the average user will profit / compile debt from this change is a lot more variable.

#20Will we start seeing stock market dips and spikes correlated to model releases?
Perhaps even something like the Opus 4.7 token cost would become correlated with the market fluctuations...
