A ChatGPT trading algorithm delivered 500% returns in stock market. My breakdown on what this means for hedge funds and retail investors.
ChatGPT Trading Algorithm Delivers 500% Returns in Stock Market
Here’s why this report caught my attention:
It’s a research report released by the finance department at the University of Florida, and it’s not an attention-grabbing Twitter influencer.
The methodology is relatively rigorous (more on that below).
Sentiment analysis is a part of several automated trading strategies by well-known hedge funds like DE Shaw, Two Sigma and more. The researchers basically found that ChatGPT outperforms all existing solutions on the market.
A University of Florida study reveals ChatGPT’s prowess in predicting stock trends, achieving a staggering 500% return in one investing model and outpacing conventional sentiment analysis models used by hedge funds.

comment
ChatGPT got six tries at the stock market.
3 of the tries had positive returns,
3 of the tries had negative returns.
The best try returned 500% profits. But the worst try (just eyeballing the graph) destroyed about 80% of the equity invested.
Overall it’s a wash.
