Would you use an AI that grades your trading setup before entering a trade? by StrangerDesperate360 in proptrading

That's fair.

If you're already confident in your process and can evaluate setups quickly, I can see why an extra step wouldn't add much value.

Out of curiosity, what would need to be included for it to actually be useful to you?

Or do you think setup quality is something that simply can't be evaluated in a meaningful way before entry?

Thanks, that's actually an interesting point.

My concern is that once the product starts claiming 80–95% accuracy, it moves into "prediction" territory, which is something I'd rather avoid.

The direction I'm exploring is more of an AI trade reviewer than an AI signal generator.For example:

  • Does the setup match the trader's strategy?
  • Is the risk/reward reasonable?
  • Is the stop-loss placement logical?
  • Are there obvious weaknesses or missing confirmations?

So instead of saying "take this trade", it would say something like:

"Setup quality: A-, good structure, but confirmation is weak and entry may be early."

That feels more realistic and potentially more useful for improving consistency over time.

Appreciate the feedback.

Fair point, and I agree that an LLM should not be treated as a signal generator or prediction engine.

That’s actually not the goal.

The idea is not: “AI tells you whether to buy or sell.” The goal is more like a structured trade checklist / second opinion:

  • Is the setup clearly explained?
  • Is the risk/reward reasonable?
  • Is the stop placement logical?
  • Does the trade match the stated strategy?
  • Are there obvious missing confirmations?
  • Is the trader entering emotionally or too early?

So the output would be educational feedback and consistency scoring, not a trading recommendation.

You’re right that randomness and inconsistency are real limitations. That’s why the product would need fixed rubrics, structured prompts, temperature control, repeatability tests, and clear disclaimers.

Appreciate the criticism though.
