I Let an AI AGENT Trade Stocks for One Week… Should We Be Worried?

The speaker discusses the results of using an AI agent (Claude Code) for stock trading over a week, focusing on Contract for Differences (CFDs). The experiment involved taking long and short positions on stocks like Beyond Meat, SoFi, and UPS, and later employing a long-short hedge strategy with pairs like SoFi/PayPal and CQQQ/Gold. The speaker shares daily trade updates, including entry and exit prices, stop losses, and profits or losses, tracked in a simple spreadsheet. Despite initial losses, the week concluded with an overall profit of $47, with more winning trades than losing trades. The speaker reflects on the fun and learning experience and outlines plans to iterate on the strategy for the following week by incorporating news headlines and refining the long-short hedging approach.
