I genuinely love X for the way ideas pollinate and how we as traders and builders improve and push each other to keep raising the bar. Sometime toward the end of last year, @ybd65sge told me about his openShift rig for automated trading using ML models. Coming from a data science / ML background, that conversation really inspired me to push the envelope with building models of my own and using them for inference. In Q1 this year, I built the first model and, as you can see from the March tweet, we had our initial reinforcement learning loop up and running: teapaw.org/StratLaboratory/status… Since then, we’ve added more capacity: we now have four different models in play, all making daily predictions, getting scored and improving with every prediction. The models even communicate with each other to compare notes. It’s still early days and there’s a lot of work ahead, especially model explainability at scale. On the backend, I can always dig into logs, trace why a prediction was made and interrogate the rationality of a given decision. Doing that for one ticker is fine, but doing it for hundreds in a way that gives a human trader on the other end of the screen the same level of conviction the model has is a very different beast. Each model is trained on 400+ features, so the next frontier is figuring out how to surface that complexity in a way that’s intuitive, intellectually honest and actually useful/actionable for traders making real decisions. Today, I just wanted to say thank you to @ybd65sge for inspiring me and providing the spark I needed.

$CNXC - Took another 1/3 off Top of broadening formation - magnitude has been hit.

$HTFL - nice 3 month base while the general market has been rolling over. Great RS and if you like your chart patterns, it's also a high tight flag!
