Building a Trading Bot with the Power of AI and ChatGPT Integration

Disclaimer

Before we dive into the details of this experiment, I want to emphasize that trading bots and algorithmic engines can be highly volatile and unpredictable. Please do not invest any money in such systems unless you are willing to accept the risk of losing your investment.

In my case, I was willing to take on that risk to demonstrate a concept and create an engaging video for my audience. If you’re interested in exploring this topic further, make sure to thoroughly research and understand the risks involved.

Introduction

As many of you know, I’ve been working with ChatGPT, a large language model capable of remembering context and engaging in conversation. This unique capability has allowed me to build Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) faster than ever before, and I believe it has the potential to revolutionize various industries.

In this video, I’ll be sharing my experience of giving ChatGPT $2000 to invest with, and how we built a trading algorithm that leveraged its capabilities. We’ll explore the tools used in this experiment and analyze the results after 24 hours of live trading.

The Tools Used

For this project, we utilized the following tools:

Alpaca API: A popular platform for accessing live trading data, allowing us to fetch market information and execute trades seamlessly.
Python: As our programming language of choice, we used Python to develop the trading algorithm and integrate it with the Alpaca API.
FinRL: A deep reinforcement learning library that enabled us to train and optimize the trading model using ChatGPT’s context-aware capabilities.
Vercel: A live deployment platform that facilitated seamless integration of our trading algorithm with the Alpaca API, ensuring smooth execution of trades.

Building the Trading Algorithm

To create a robust trading algorithm, we employed the following steps:

Data Collection: We used the Alpaca API to fetch historical and real-time market data, including stock prices, volume, and other relevant metrics.
Feature Engineering: We engineered features from the collected data to identify patterns and trends that could inform our trading decisions.
Model Training: Using FinRL, we trained a deep reinforcement learning model on the generated features, leveraging ChatGPT’s context-aware capabilities to optimize the model’s performance.
Model Deployment: We deployed the trained model on Vercel, ensuring seamless integration with the Alpaca API and enabling live trading.

24-Hour Trading Results

After deploying the trading algorithm, we monitored its performance over a 24-hour period. While I won’t disclose the exact results (as this is an experiment, not investment advice), I can provide some general insights:

Initial Performance: The algorithm performed reasonably well during the initial hours, executing trades with moderate success.
Mid-Period Adjustment: As market conditions changed, the model adapted and adjusted its strategy to optimize performance.
Final Results: After 24 hours of live trading, we observed a net gain in our investment. However, please note that this result is not representative of future performance or guaranteed success.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this experiment demonstrates the potential of combining large language models like ChatGPT with traditional trading algorithms and machine learning techniques. While results may vary, I believe this approach can provide a competitive edge in the world of algorithmic trading.

Future Directions

As we continue to explore the capabilities of ChatGPT and other AI models, I encourage you to join me on this journey. Let’s work together to push the boundaries of what’s possible and create innovative solutions that benefit society as a whole.
