I would guess that LLMs are biased towards making a positive assessment of ambiguous information, with specific social triggers prompting negative reaction.

In fact alot of strategies that are market neutral work by shorting one stock while being long the other, or similarly a basket of stocks.

I think the actual trading is just to make it more interesting.

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.
I see, thank you. Can they short?

#48Is there any weighting towards selling in the negative? Else the LLM's should just hold their unrealised losses, and only sell post local peak - depends on their suggested measurement of success?

Time-Bound Precision: Inst…
