THINK

Using AI to trade stocks can mean very different things depending on your level:

1. Basic level → Using AI tools for signals, news analysis, or screening stocks

2. Intermediate → Building rule-based strategies with AI assistance

3. Advanced → Creating algorithmic trading systems using machine learning

Think of AI as:

• a decision assistant, not a guaranteed profit machine

• a pattern recognizer that can process huge data faster than humans

Key perspectives:

• AI does not eliminate risk

• Markets are influenced by unpredictable human behavior

• Edge comes from strategy + discipline, not just tools
