AI Your Trading Assistant & Tool Builder

Most people think of AI in trading as a stock-picking machine. I see it differently. I see AI as a trading partner. Not a replacement for judgment. Not a magic crystal ball. A partner. The journey starts with a simple question: "What if I could teach a machine how I think about trades?" The first step was backtesting. To build the foundation of this partner, I used Grok Builder to rapidly prototype my trading logic, turning abstract strategies into structured, backtestable code. I wanted to know whether the setups I believed in actually worked. Not the trades I remembered. Not the winners I bragged about. The entire body of evidence. AI helped transform ideas into code, code into tests, and tests into data. Some assumptions survived. Others didn't. That alone was valuable. The Infrastructure: Data & Screening Then came screening.

Hurry Up and Wait

The Siren Song of the Perfect Story (And Why I Didn't Buy) We’ve all been there. You read a thesis, listen to a podcast, or scan a research report, and the narrative is so compelling it feels like a surefire win. The logic is airtight, the macro trends are undeniable, and the FOMO starts creeping in. But a great story doesn’t always equal a great trade right now . I recently faced this exact dilemma, and it served as a perfect reminder of why we need objective systems to protect us from our own enthusiasm. The Experiment I recently came across a list of stocks being presented as some of the most compelling, high-upside opportunities in the market today. The list included: SERV, RCAT, SATL, IONQ, XPO, HPE, FCX, OUST, LWLG, and PLTR. On paper, the stories were fantastic. AI, robotics, quantum computing, defense technology, logistics infrastructure.

Technical Analysis // Swing Strategy Spotting the Setup: Is COMP Coiling for a Powerful Expansion? Published: June 9, 2026 When scouring the charts for explosive swing trading opportunities, few patterns carry as much quiet authority as a well-defined loading zone . In technical analysis, these compression areas reflect a critical shift in supply and demand mechanics.

The weak hands have been thoroughly shaken out, and patient money is quietly accumulating shares behind the scenes. A prime textbook example of this setup is currently unfolding on the 1-hour chart of Compass, Inc. ( NYSE: COMP ) . Currently trading at $8.18 (+7.78%) , the structural tape reveals a fascinating compression mechanism that swing traders should keep firmly on their...
