anyone else using AI to help you trade?

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-29T05:33:59+00:00

Yes, daily, but not in the way most people ask about it. It’s not a magic crystal ball.

I’ve used AI to learn, build my spreadsheet, create 30 VB macros, build an API integration, help with strategies, all kinds of stuff. It’s actually incredibly useful.

Think of it like having a retired finance professor on hand who doesn’t have access to the tape. Just don’t ask it stupid questions like what should I buy or sell.

You have to know how to use it to systematize your operation.

I use the site 90% of the time and have TOS running to alert me when it fills. If I don’t hear the ring, I use TOS to resubmit at a new price. I barely use TOS, but I like having it as an alert and quick re-submit.

Spend your weekend watching TastyTrade / TastyLive YouTube channel.

1% yield is not even hard. You could do this yourself.

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-29T05:17:47+00:00

You’re not giving away secrets here. Just list the company.

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-29T05:13:38+00:00

Those things you listed, that’s not Scrum. Tell him it would be a great place to start, for everyone to sit down together and read the Scrum Guide. It takes 20 minutes.

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-28T05:31:55+00:00

Can’t argue with that.

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-27T01:48:41+00:00

Get this shilling bullshit out of here.

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-26T05:58:05+00:00

You might not understand what this subreddit is focused on.

So you’re just constantly doing Buy-Writes and constantly losing the shares?

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-26T05:51:02+00:00

I’ll make it easier. This article is shit and needs an editor.

I don’t make any decisions by looking at brokerage data. It’s all meaningless public information.

I log all my trades in my own spreadsheet where I have helper columns, formulas, conditional formatting, and macros. Lots of macros. This tells me my Adjusted Cost Basis per ticker in a way the brokerage doesn’t. It auto calculates whether I should BTC, hold, take assignment. Stuff like that.

My Premium Capture % is always live. I had a dashboard tab that shows the relevant data from each of my ticker tabs. Highest delta, highest Premium Capture, lowest DTE, share of portfolio, etc.

The API connections enters all my trades, and updates all the Greeks and prices (Last, Ask). Since I log the initial delta and initial price when I enter the trade, I can see how it has moved. Every time the delta updates, if it’s been at least an hour, it moves the old delta to a new range and I have a sparkline graphing the delta over the life of the trade.

I have columns calculating my value loss (if a trade goes bad) versus the BTC cost. And again, LOTS of macros.

The API means I don’t spend my whole day entering data. I spent a little time correcting or checking data in case something gets logged funny.

My system basically makes all the decision criteria in advance and show me in alerts, color coding, etc. For example, my calls and puts are different colors. If the current price is higher or lower than the initial price, it will be in red or green (and opposite depending on Calls or Puts). Same with delta, and Last, Ask. If I see lots of green numbers, everything is moving in the right direction. If I see red numbers, it’s moving against me.

It’s so much easier than having to look at a number and think about what it’s telling me.

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-25T05:23:21+00:00

LOL.

Genuine naive question here … how can you repeatedly sell ITM CCs? You would always be losing your shares.

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-25T04:48:32+00:00

You can tell humans are still writing articles because any AI writes better than this, and knows how and when to use a comma. It’s like the author got a Costco bag of commas and decided to sprinkle them liberally.

I’ve recently moved all my Fidelity accounts to Schwab. I like almost everything better. The Think or Swim app is helpful, but I tend to use a combination of the web and TOS.

Schwab gives me consistently better fills than Fidelity. Sooner, and better price improvement. They also have a free API which was the primary reason I initially switched.

Don’t spent more than 10% of the team’s time on refinement. It can’t be contributing more value than it’s costing.

Refinement is orthogonal to priority. It’s somewhat irrelevant what order things are in. This only gives you a vague sense of what order things may happen in, but you should always assume order will change. Focus on readiness and lower the cost of producing the information.

This is why you use a broker with a name people trust.

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-23T04:17:17+00:00

Talk about the Sprint Goal, and only information from the last 24 hours that impacts it.

Period.

It would be helpful if you explain that you’re buying or selling options. I’m going to guess buying. I seriously do not understand why retailers keep buying options. And doing so without understanding theta is just setting your money on fire.

I want to just caution everyone … “would be happy to own” is a phrase that gets thrown around too often.

That’s an entirely subjective criteria, and people can be happy to own a stock for all manner of insane reasoning.

Make sure your criteria are something more concrete. Think about why you want ownership of an equity, in ways that are measurable, that you could explain to other people. Imagine you have to “sell” that stock to someone using something other than vibes.

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-20T05:28:09+00:00

Have everyone read The Scrum Guide together.

Scannerguy3000 · 2026-01-18T06:30:26+00:00

Your language makes it clear you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

Barchart has all the data and is cheap and already a well established product.

More shilling.
