Very interesting idea. I'm thinking about creating an AI portfolio manager (private) that invests for the long term.

Some things to watch out for:

- LLMs, by default, don't follow the best practices for trading or investing. Without careful constraints, they can ignore fundamental investment best practices. This is something I learned while building https://decodeinvesting.com/chat.

- I see Claude bought a penny stock SMX. This could be volatile, and the price could change significantly in 24 hours before the next execution at 9:30 am.

- The LLMs are day trading on some volatile securities; while LLMs could be good at day trading, unlike humans (we will find out), this setup has the disadvantage of only trading once a day.

I would be very cautious about doing this with money you actually need. Even the best performing human day traders underperform the indexes over long time horizons. Why would a robot be better?

from a study in Brazil: "97% of all individuals who persisted for more than 300 days lost money. Only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage and only 0.5% earned more than the initial salary of a bank teller — all with great risk."

If you don't want your bot to be a day trader, then just get low cost index funds.
