So yeah… after months of doomscrolling through YouTube gurus, fib retracements, RSI divergences, “Wyckoff accumulation phases”, blah blah blah… I snapped.
Instead of actually learning anything, I told ChatGPT:
“just give me a strategy that tells me BUY or SELL every morning. I don’t care why. I don’t want to understand.”
Here’s the cursed recipe:
• Load my S&P futures CSV. • Train a logistic regression. • Every day it walks forward, re-trains, and then: • At the open: BUY if it feels bullish, SELL if it doesn’t. • Slaps on a stop loss = 1×ATR, take profit = 1.5×ATR, because why not. • If nothing happens? Close at EOD.
That’s it. Zero thoughts, head empty, pure delegation to a chat bot.
The code literally ends with:
2025-08-21 → SELL (p_up=0.1195) Open(proj): 6413.5 Stop Loss : 6477.5357 Take Profit: 6317.4464
I’m not even pretending to know why. The model doesn’t explain itself. It just spits out “BUY” or “SELL”.
At this point, I’ve transcended “trader” and become a human execution bot. If it wins, genius. If it loses, blame the machine. Fuck it, lets see how $1k, $30 per position in a 200x leverage goes til the end of the year, if I get to keep $1.
Also, I wrote this in spanish and asked chatgpt to traduce so I don’t care the “thanks AI” comments.
Running a backtest with data for this year:
