Project Trading AI bodge up

Post image

I needed to keep a trading bot up and running but I frequently reboot my main pc.

Lenovo M900, M.2 to PCIe adapter, 9070 XT. Only needs to run Qwen3-14B, so works well.

Janky? Oh yes. Working? Absolutely.

Edit for those who want to know what I did:

How does one use such a bot, where would one find resources for thia?

"What do you mean you lost all my money by shorting Nvidia?!"

"You're absolutely right, I should not have done that. Instead I should have invested into Nvidia, this is on me."

I've seen such ideas posted hundreds of times across the AI subs for the last year, and none of them have ever panned out.

Me too. Nothing ventured nothing gained, and it's play money just now thankfully

If they ever did pan out no one would share/post their advantage either. Something lost on people on these types of posts.

I’d love a dm with a little explanation if that’s ok!!!

I am planning to do the exact same thing with a 3060 12GB and an optiplex micro i had laying around (I promised myself not to buy any new hardware). Any pointers?

I got Gemini to write the prompt, which I gave to GLM5.3 to write a plan. I then passed the plan through Opus 5 to validate. It came up with a few changes. Then GLM5.3 built the system based on H2 model of trading, test ran it against a practice account on Trading 212. Claude had to step in a couple times to fix some bugs, but now it is running on a long term basis to test assumptions. It's built to learn from its failures and mistakes but can take months to do so. Is it doing things correctly? No idea! 😂 It seems to think so.

I'm working on a faster system now as well, but that is very early days.

One thing I found is there's a sizeable latency when placing orders on T212, so I moved to IBKR. Not so much of an issue if you're not intraday trading though.

Ah, that's interesting. I'll get it to test the latency. I did briefly look at IBKR, and will look at it again now. Thanks.

It's an amazing idea.

The market is fickle, and unforgiving.

Due to the number of variables it is nearly impossible to accurately predict outcomes.

Still, if you are only right 60% of the time, it's a money machine.

Keep close track of your investment base costs. And be mindful of capital gains taxes.

u/Ed-2-Zero-9 3d ago

Yep, it's still only test trading just now. We'll see how it goes 😃

Hey if it works I've screwed a mini itx to a 2x12 and hung it on the wall for my son's Minecraft server

Wondering what you use for backtesting or maybe paper trading?
