This is funny, but just to be clear, the firms that are doing automated trading have been using ML for decades and have high powered computers with custom algorithms extremely close to trading centers (often inside them) to get the lowest latency possible.

No one who does not wear their pants on their head uses an LLM to make trades. An LLM is just a next word fragment guesser with a bunch of heuristics and tools attached, so it won't be good at all for something that specialized.

Eh... Wdym. The algos that trade fight in the micro second level. They adapt to each other and never stop changing. It's exactly the same problem. Do you think llm is a unique neural net ? They all work the same. When you try to sound like ml is not the same as llm or as if ml is neural nets you don't help anyone understand any of those concepts because you don't yourself

That is a crazy amount of nonsensical word salad to use to try to call someone else out for lacking understanding.

I mean just the flawed idea that all trading algos are all neural nets, or that all neural nets are the same or that the rectangle of ML doesn't include neural nets.. These are all wildly erratic non sequiturs.
