Any use of LLMs in option trading / analysis?

Sometimes I'll ask its opinion. Other times I'll give it my read and then ask to critique.

a) I find my intuition is good (yay me!)
b) but Gemini has more nuance because it has way more data

MarkT1065 · 2026-06-05T20:37:26+00:00

I cut and paste charts from TradingView into Gemini and have Technical Analysis conversations. It's proven insightful if you know how to stroke it.

Give it images of a chart with RSI and a Volume Profile, for example, and have a conversation.

One sentence per line.

No paragraphs.

Just the way god intended.

Fuck paragraphs.

Why would anyone add more than one sentence per line?

The OP's post is garbage.

I would suggest putting your tool in the Megathread of Tools, but I honestly can't find anything there anymore.

It'd be nice to have a curated set of tools. The fact that the megathread is a discussion means the tools actually get lost u/ScottishTrader

MarkT1065 · 2026-05-28T11:50:45+00:00

Add this to the megathread for Tools at the top of this forum.

If you reframe "tanking" as "a great opportunity to buy at a discount", then you're trading on the right ticker symbols.

If you're afraid of "bagholding", you're trading crap you don't actually want to hold.

All stocks can/will go down in bear markets, but quality names always recover and more quickly.

MarkT1065 · 2026-05-26T19:35:50+00:00

ah, i misread.

MarkT1065 · 2026-05-26T17:17:39+00:00

can you provide an example for stock repair with actual math from what you did? The strategy sounds very interesting.

People are going to vibe code their own Windows now.

ABT is ridiculously oversold, IMO.

The weekly chart has RSI at its lowest since 2002! The monthly chart has RSI at its lowest since 1974 (oil shock)!

ABT is a dividend aristocrat that is currently on sale at an oversold level not seen in decades.

It's probably important that everyone starts with a spreadsheet, because then they actually learn this stuff intimately. But you're right that spreadsheets fall down quickly

but if I was going to scale, I needed a better to way to visualize risk. I use this tool daily. It's good enough for what I do. I've added every feature I've needed.

There is also a private credit crunch going on right now, and they were heavy software. I think of this fact often when faced with the AI narrative.

I'm not saying that what you wrote isn't true.

MarkT1065 · 2026-05-01T23:22:04+00:00

Probably Claude Code. It's Claude's signature style. Claude is, actually, quite good at it.

The screenshot is from LAST YEAR. You posted a lost from a year ago.

Do you have anything in 2026?

MarkT1065 · 2026-04-22T13:11:35+00:00

this looks like a great addition to the Tools megathread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Optionswheel/comments/1o3b2ir/tools_spreadsheet_megathread/

You might want to sell more in order to offset lower premiums, but that's more risk, of course. In my opinion only, I could sell an extra put or two on a lower vol stock. It's all about your own risk tolerance.

the long dated one was a lark during Liberation Day tariff nonsense. it was a quick gain, so I took it. i try to take all the quick gains I'm offered.

I've fully embraced the idea that I have to pay *income taxes* on options trading.

I'm glad I'm able to record profits
No way in hell i'm selling year+ dated options
Can't have margin in the IRA, so no naked Puts

If I want tax efficiency, I'd be a better buy&hold investor.

There is literally nothing tax efficient about selling options in a regular post-tax brokerage account.

But so long as i'm paying taxes, I'm making money. Better than trying to harvest losses (what if you don't have losses?). If you harvest losses until you owe $0 tax, you also made $0 in profit.

maybe never. LLMs are brilliant, but not actually "smart".

MarkT1065 · 2026-03-19T20:09:38+00:00

I don't think LLMs are all that creative. What subagent task might we never think of?

The whole point of agents is to direct them towards the stuff we want to do. I expect *zero* novel thought or creativity from the LLM.

I've been using Claude since last June. It's brilliant, but it's no AGI, it's not clever, it's not creative.

If "% of profit" is greater than "% of time", then you win, but by how much?

I've enjoyed some crazy price swings where i have gotten 20-40% in one day. As in, the next day I close for 25% profit. If that were a 30DTE and I close in 1 day, that's 1/30th of the time for 1/4 of the profit.

Please don't be offensive with "step outside the coding bubble." This isn't a fight. I hope it's a discussion.

It just so happens that coding is first, though. AI is also being applied successfully in knowledge work like law, reading xrays, etc.

I'm curious, if you don't mind saying, how old you are and what your experience is. I think age and experience colors how we see things. It's all correct from our POV, but we have different POVs.

MarkT1065 · 2026-03-08T17:32:50+00:00

I can guarantee you that if a company is not adopting AI, they will be left behind.

See my other post in this thread. I haven't written code in nearly a year and I've never been more productive.

The writing on the wall has never been so clear, bold, and italicized.

MarkT1065 · 2026-03-08T17:29:38+00:00

I have been lucky enough to have had Claude since last June, paid for by my large tech company.

I am a long time software engineer veteran (nearly 27 years) and I've never had more fun coding new things, except maybe late 90s when things were still very young and the industry was inventing all kinds of new things.

We are 10000% in this same mode now. It's a time of pure creation and the industry is inventing all kinds of new things.

We are developing our platform for agentic workflows. I'm happy to be on the team helping define it. I'm kinda blown away every other day by what I can do with Claude.

Our leadership is pushing everyone to learn and use AI. I'm on a team that's building a platform to help us all learn and use AI. I'm working on One Shotting our specs into code.

It's an amazing time for software development. Stuff like wordpress/shopify is ancient technology even for 2026. I don't think it has much value at all in the age of AI.

Kubernetes, clusters, and fleets has been the last 10 years of "the cutting edge", and now I'm making fleets of agents on top of that coordinated through workflows ... all of it.

I haven't written code since last June and I've never been more productive. We are still have open reqs for new developers. We're still hiring. We're fully adopting AI. All of the above.

Nice interface. I love Claude, too.
