I’ve now had a few weeks with my AI built financial trading apps and I am now tweaking and slowly upgrading the capability. I have discovered that AI was giving me some unusual option trades and they were so intriguing that I’ve now changed my mindset around what I was trying to do because AI is right.
As I was thinking about the approach AI was doing, it dawned on me that AI sometimes has unusual strategies to attacking a challenge. I saw a documentary a while ago about Alpha Go and it was about a computer that beat the world’s greatest players at a game called Go.
The screenshot above has the latest iteration of my collar trading app. The goal is to not lose money while investing yet earn some return otherwise what’s the point? Of course the old expression, “no risk, no reward” comes into play. If you want to earn returns you have to take some risk right?
Well not necessarily! That’s what this app was created for and I had an idea how it should work but AI had other ideas and through some collaboration, I’ve now think I’m ready to start trading some real money with the reports the app creates. I have blurred out my criteria “secret mojo” but maybe you can get AI to figure it out 😉 . This may be a great experiment to get YOU to do something with AI!
So this app takes data with over 5000 options listings and combs through them all to kick out the nice little summary with optimal trades. All I have to do is pick the ones that make the most sense at the time I execute the trade. It works so well that sometimes it just tells me that there were trades found, move on to the next ticker symbol. The premise of these trades is they offer a theoretical return of 8 to 12 percent per year with no or minimal loss exposure. And no, I am not just using this as my sole investment strategy, it is core to preserving large chunks of capital though while earning some rate of return.
I built this app because the stock market is way over valued right now and I’ve been through this rodeo before where the ignorant get bucked off the bull badly. I lived through the crashes of ’87, ’94, ’01, ’08, & ’20 and there will be another one at some point so why not hold on to my money and earn returns relatively risk free?
There are no guarantees but we’ll see how 2026 turns out! I look forward to writing the year end final thoughts for 2026.
