A Reddit user claims to have used ChatGPT to guide successful stock trades.
The AI allegedly helped him double his money while he “chilled.”
This isn't confirmed, and no one’s saying you should try it. Be wary of hallucinations.
Can GhatGPT make you rich, according to Reddit .... maybe....?
A Redditor claims ChatGPT helped him double his portfolio in days. It's viral,
unverifiable, and definitely not financial advice.
From Prompt to Profit?
A Reddit post titled “Watching ChatGPT make me money while I chill and
game” has caught fire, igniting another round of internet-fueled artificial
intelligence (AI) euphoria. Posted to r/ChatGPT, the trader behind the
keyboard claims he’s been using OpenAI’s chatbot to guide his investment
decisions—with wildly profitable results.
“Fast-forward 10 trading days (two weeks): I've made 18 trades, closed
out 17, and somehow these AI bros both have a flawless, 100% win rate,” he
wrote, referring to Grok and ChatGPT.
Cue the upvotes, emojis, and the inevitable “Bro, screenshots or it
didn’t happen” replies.
Is this real? Maybe. Is it verifiable? Absolutely not. But welcome to
2025, where AI hype meets Reddit flexing in the most chaotic of market
romances.
The Method: A Chatbot and a Dream
The Redditor (u/Plastic-Edge-1654) claimed that he used ChatGPT to
generate trade ideas and guide decision-making. Putting $400 into Robinhood, he
then pitted ChatGPT against Grok to see which system would come out on top.
While he hasn’t dropped specifics—no tickers, no trade logs, no
brokerage receipts—he did share that he “… gave both of the AI bots a big fat
list of nerdy data, and basically said, "Yo, filter through this mess and
spit out trades that’ll turn my beer and BBQ budget into Kardashian-level
cash." Then I even figured out that I can hand-feed them screenshots (of
data) and upload spreadsheets, making sure they're using only primo data.”
Kardashian reference aside, it seems he’s doing well.
Too good to be true? (Reddit)
He claims that that ChatGPT managed an average return per trade of 23%,
with Grok at 17%.
To be fair, this isn't exactly let the bot go full autopilot and buy me
a Lambo. It’s more like having an unpaid intern who never sleeps and can
summarize macroeconomic sentiment in milliseconds. Still, the claim that this
combo has yielded 100% returns in less than a month? Let’s just say: the only
thing ChatGPT has doubled for most people is the number of tabs they have open.
Reddit Reacts: Bullish on the Drama
The comments section was predictably split between digital fist-bumps
and raised eyebrows. Some users asked for proof. Others demanded prompts. A few
offered their own war stories—most of them sounding suspiciously like dreams
you have when you fall asleep watching Bloomberg.
Really?
In short: it’s classic Reddit—part hype train, part blood sport, part
motivational speaking session for amateur day traders.
The Takeaway: Entertaining, But Don’t Bet the Farm
Let’s get this straight: none of this is verified. We don’t know anything
about this trader, his system, or whether any of these trades even happened
outside of his imagination (or a ChatGPT demo gone rogue).
And while ChatGPT can summarize economic news, explain concepts like
MACD or RSI, and even help write code for backtesting strategies, it’s not a
licensed financial advisor. It doesn’t know your risk profile. It doesn’t react
to market nuance. It doesn’t care if your account goes to zero. However, it
can be used to get an overview of a market and pull a few other tricks, but
it should never be relied upon.
It’s just really good at sounding confident while hedging its bets—just
like that one friend who always "called the crash" after the fact.
In the meantime, Reddit will Reddit. And if this guy’s claims are real,
well, we’d love to see the receipts. Until then, treat it like what it is: a
fun story, not a trading strategy.
Final Word
Can ChatGPT help you become a better trader? Maybe—if you already know
what you’re doing. Can it replace experience, discipline, and a healthy respect
for market chaos? Absolutely not.
So, if you’re tempted to go full Skynet on your stock portfolio, just
remember: this isn’t advice, we’re not endorsing it.
Above all, do your research, take a look around, maybe use AI as a tool
to support your experience and knowledge, but always, always be wary of hallucinations
and other issues with AI.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
