Ooooft, this one has been in the pipe for a while now but finally got around to finishing the edit. Seriously interesting experiment, I’m wondering if I should do some livestreams and we can tweak and backtest params live to see what works? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Probably will get back to reinforcement learning for ML and some deep visualisation stuff I’ve been wanting to get my hands on, alas I digress. In this, you’re going to learn;
1. How to hook up a bot to Kraken
2. How to setup a LLM to help make trading decisions (see performance for yourself don’t at me with “you should’ve used {insert fav llm here} llm” 😅
3. How to refactor all the code you just wrote and use finbert.

All the code, logs and stuff is available via GitHub as always:

Happy coding ✌️

    Mate, you are from Australia too!
    Anyways thanks for the educational videos, I checked your last video the same bot in stocks compared to SPY, I would suggest to include (sentimental analysis) AND (Technical Indicators)
    Technical Indicators: MACD, RSI, 4EMA, Volume and Volitility
    I modified your code and added 3 of the technical indicators and results were phinominal. Total return was jaw dropping 443,159% in three years compared to SPY, annual return was 1169%, funds went from $100K to $1.2B, cash_at_risk was 0.3 and probability was 0.85., I am still working on it as I am not a programmer at all, getting chatgpt help and some tweaking, but thanks for all the information, thought to let you know.

    Ok so, I posted the above part while I had watched half of this video, suggestion; these bots won't work on Crypto, I learnt it after 40 different backtesting simulation for SPY in comparison with BTC, Litecoin, XRP and ETH. Just a guess and that's money goes in and out of Crypto too quick therefore its better to stick with SPY.
