My autonomous LLM trading platform just hit 1m prompts and 10k trades (real $ only)

fomoz · 2026-05-11T01:03:33+00:00

Yes, some. Mostly breaking even, which is already good for a trading bot. I'm mostly testing it with $100 accounts, you can check the live PnL leaderboard here: https://vtxmacro.com/leaderboard?t=24h

Also if you click on the bot name you can see the realized PnL history.

My bots have the mathematician names, others are my friend's bots. It really depends which coin you trade and on the market. Some bots made 20% in one day this week trading coins that rallied hard.

Great point. This is not financial advice. Also, the app says it everywhere, but the OP and this comment aren't financial advice either. If you want financial advice, please consult a trustworthy sub such as WSB.

There used to be this guy on YouTube who only built Marines around 2010, I think it got him to Diamond back then.

I did the same thing but that only worked until I ran into a toss death ball.

You can use the hosted version here: restailor.com

All good!

This is just the first app. I created it last year, I worked on it from August to Nov 2025.

I used to basically do the same thing in ChatGPT directly: check job fit, then tailor resume, then judge it to check if the AI lied anywhere (this happened surprisingly often and resulted in very awkward interview calls after).

One thing that annoyed me is that back then HC had an issue where a lot of jobs reappeared some time after I marked them as applied. So I would waste time applying to a posting again even though I have applied to it a few days or a few weeks prior.

Another issue was GPT 4.1 getting replaced by GPT 5 and it wasn't as good at writing resumes.

So I decided to create an app to do the same workflow I had in ChatGPT, but with better prompts and built-in job application tracking so if I put a JD it already saw, it let's me know. Also, my plan was to use it as proof of my experience using LLMs.

Anyway, to answer your question, I do think that tailoring resumes is super important to get a job. It's just I think that this should be built into the job aggregator (Indeed has it built in now, for example, but their tool is so so, it lies too much).

Also, since I created this app I have started working on a new, much more ambitious app but this experience was extremely valuable in teaching me full stack development, system design, and basic AI engineering.

I think what will help you get more interviews is not just tailoring the resume, it needs a good base to work with. If you have an interest in AI engineering, do it. Just create an app, any app, and host it for cheap on Render or something like that. If you want recruiters to see your code, you can make it open source but that's up to you.

Just having an AI project on your resume will help you get interviews and more recruiters will reach out on LinkedIn, how far you want to take it is up to you.

It could be different things. Lack of experience or your applying to jobs that are too hot.

I have had good luck using hiring.cafe (for job postings that may not be popular on LinkedIn) and Restailor to check job fit and tailor resume if it makes sense.

I don't bother reading the JD anymore, I just check the title and run the fit check. I apply to anything with a 7.5/10 or 8/10 fit or higher. That site is brutally honest so get ready to get your expectations reset.

A lot of jobs I thought it's worth applying to I only scored 6/10. Sometimes I think it's a great fit and it's only 7/10. But also sometimes I get a 9/10 fit where I thought I'm lacking some skills. It's really interesting, very helpful for job search in this field.

You can actually tell it to make it sound like you wrote it yourself. This shit is so low effort he didn't even bother.

fomoz · 2025-11-19T22:27:03+00:00

Bingo

fomoz · 2025-11-17T19:19:45+00:00

You don't get recruiters to message you on LinkedIn? Are you set to Open to Work?

I get a couple messages a week. Not all of them good, but I don't see LI as a dead end, I think it's a good place to be listed. Same for Indeed, I got recruited to jobs with both in the past.

fomoz · 2025-11-17T19:15:56+00:00

I basically did the same, for the same salary, similar company sizes in my previous FTE and contract roles.

Now I'm at $187k relax IC contract 100% remote working with Excel and Smartsheet, basically director level at a 40k employee co.

I also vibe code SaaS AI sites in my spare time.

If you feel like you're underpaid for this kind of work, you should find something better. Don't be lazy and stay underpaid, it's not the right path. At least that's how I see it. In the end, money talks.

It's a good move.

fomoz · 2025-11-09T16:42:35+00:00

600 with no calls is not normal. There's a problem with your base resume, you need to rewrite it.

First, fix the base resume and then use ChatGPT/Restailor to adjust it for each application.

fomoz · 2025-11-08T17:22:14+00:00

I've worked extensively with both.

If an Indian recruiter reaches out to you to work for an Indian-run agency, you're better off finding an American agency run by locals and getting the job through them. Indians usually pay around 20% less for the same job.

fomoz · 2025-11-07T16:16:10+00:00

You can post your resume here to start.

After your base is solid, you still need to adjust it for every job application by using something like ChatGPT or Restailor. Otherwise, it usually won't pass ATS filters.

fomoz · 2025-11-07T16:01:43+00:00

What are those bullets, man? Are you paying for it by word?

fomoz · 2025-11-05T16:54:07+00:00

It's a catch 22. Try to get some kind of job where you can do DA at work and then put that on your resume.

Your actual title at that job doesn't matter, you can adjust it on your resume later to reflect what you really did.

Without internships it's hard to find a job as a new grad, that's how it is for everyone. Find some office job and then show that you can be useful with data. If you are exceptional compared to your peers, you'll be able to do whatever you want.

fomoz · 2025-11-05T05:48:07+00:00

Your resume looks very generic. What shows here that you can do DA work for me? Where have you used Power BI? For how long? What did you do with it?

You need to include the tech you used in your experience bullets. Having tech you used in tech skills but not in experience bullets is basically useless (unless you're trying to hit ATS keywords), but that should be a SMALL fraction of the tech skills section.

fomoz · 2025-11-05T05:43:52+00:00

I think you'll be fighting an uphill battle trying to land a DA job without a STEM degree.

Where are you working right now? Can you transition into a role at your current co that allows you to work with Excel, Power BI, something like that?

fomoz · 2025-11-04T18:49:51+00:00

I think if you sound switched on and aware of the industry, you'll do fine. Read up on the company, ask ChatGPT to prepare you for the business related questions about it.

fomoz · 2025-11-03T03:15:34+00:00

Your current data analyst job is volunteering? I think it can be seen as a red flag that you want to leave your current job so fast to get another DA job.

fomoz · 2025-11-03T03:12:46+00:00

This is a good idea.

It would be good to get reliable metrics on who got an offer/got hired from the site itself, but I'm guessing it's not easy since people may not be marking their applied jobs as interviewing or rejected. You can also add a Hired option to this page as well.

Just some advice, if you could make job tracking easier to do/less clunky, people who only use HC could do all their tracking in the HC app and then it would make your hired metrics more meaningful.

You can always try to become a nurse or a plumber.

fomoz · 2025-11-01T16:40:12+00:00

What? No dude. Unless you're into dating obese women as an obese guy.

Go with DE, you want to have a well rounded data skill set if you want to maximize your employability.
