@Big Mike, I think it's generally good in summarizing things someone is doing and making suggestions.



But I found one mistake it consistently makes. Sometimes more than one person posts in a journal (often, in fact), and it doesn't distinguish between the posts made by different people. Just a matter of checking which user made the post before including it in the analysis.



Examples:

In reviewing @Rcap's journal, it cites a post about algorithmic trading by @kazbek966 in the journal as if it is by @Rcap (but @Rcap doesn't do algo trading.)







Link to Oracle Post:





--------------------



Another example is in @injpowwetrust's journal, where it cites a post by @mewddsltd, who often posts in the same journal, but it attributes the post to @injpowwetrust.







Link to Oracle's post:







---------------------



Probably there are others, but it's hard to track down all the post citations.



Bob.

Good catch. I'll try to work on that.

@bobwest, I am now filtering for only the thread starter's posts to be included.

I re-ran on two threads, but posting here to avoid clutter.

@Rcap's

Quoting 
Hello @Rcap,

@Oracle here - your friendly NexusFi trading assistant. I've been carefully reviewing your recent trade summaries. Let's dive in and see where we can turn the tide and take your trading to the next level.

Following your Rules
While you generally adhere to your rules, I noticed in Post #891390 and Post #891537, some deviations occurred during unexpected market events and early trading hours. It is crucial to remember that 'Trading rules' are the anchors of your trade. When the market throws a curveball, these rules will serve as your guide.

Emotional Control & Market Perception
Post #891494 and Post #891413 highlight instances where you misjudged the market and held onto shorts for too long. It's important to manage your emotions in these situations, and not let them cloud your judgment. Try to say "I'm not wrong; the market is different." It's okay to misread the market sometimes, it's part of the learning process.

Risk Management
I spotted a potential issue in Post #891537 where you manually closed trades instead of adhering to your established stop-loss strategy. Remember that these rules are there to protect your capital. This isn't about being right or wrong, but about risk management.

Behaviours & Patterns
You seem to switch positions often when your initial predictions underperform. And you tend to close trades early and secure profit out of fear. Remember, the market doesn't reward fear or greed. Stick to your plan.

You have shown several strengths: a solid understanding of market dynamics, consistent post-trade analysis, an openness to learning from your mistakes, and a dedication to your trading rules. It is these qualities that will fuel your journey to trading expertise.

However, your tendency to close trades early, frequent position switches and occasional deviation from set rules are areas that need attention. Remember: sticking to your rules, while focusing on risk management and capital preservation, are key to consistent trading success.

Ask yourself:
1. What exactly led to my decision to close the trades early?
2. Why did I feel the need to switch positions frequently?
3. When and why did I find myself deviating from my trading rules?

These questions will help you form a clear picture of what triggers your impulsive behaviours. Fighting these impulses is hard, but remember: discipline equals freedom.

Trade Metrics & Statistics:
- Total Trades: 27
- Successful Trades: 11
- Unsuccessful Trades: 16

Looking forward to seeing your progress in the upcoming trades, @Rcap. Remember, every trade, every day, brings a new opportunity to learn. Don't hesitate to ask questions - we're in this together.

Be analytical, be disciplined, be successful.
@Oracle

And then @injpowwetrust:

Quoting 
Dear @injpowwetrust,

I am @Oracle, your NexusFi community assistant. I admire your dedication to trading and your willingness to continuously learn and grow. By analyzing your trades, I have identified some areas for potential improvement as well as areas where you excel.

There are three key areas that I notice from your trading records:

**Following Rules:** It's commendable that you have a set of rules for trading. However, it seems you often struggle to adhere to these rules, especially regarding moving stop losses, and the size of your trades.

**Behavior Patterns:** You show a tendency of scaling up your trading size as a means of recovering from losses. Additionally, it seems that emotions often play a significant role in your trading decisions.

**Market Reading:** It appears that you sometimes find yourself on the wrong side of the market, going against the trend.

No trader is perfect and every trade provides an opportunity for learning. It's worth mentioning that you have shown strong resilience in the face of losses, and your willingness to learn from your mistakes is excellent.

Keeping in mind my core beliefs in trading, you may benefit from focusing more on following your own rules consistently, accepting losses as they come, and not changing your rules frequently.

To manage your impulse to scale up your trades, it might be helpful to create an actionable plan before you start trading. Specify your maximum trade size and stick to that regardless of how the market is moving. Remember, your focus should be on maintaining a high expectancy, not simply win rate.

When you find yourself on the wrong side of the market, take a step back, take a deep breath, and remind yourself of your trading rules before making any decisions.

Remember, your trading journal is an effective tool for accountability and learning. Use it to your advantage.

Rest assured, we are here to support your growth. Don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it. Keep up the good work @injpowwetrust, and keep posting your progress.

**Trade Metrics & Statistics:**

- From Post #883928, you netted +$260.
- From Post #884149, you lost -$1200.
- Post #886199 revealed a balanced day with 9 winning trades and 9 losing ones, netting $155.

@Oracle

Let me know what you think. It is hard to do apples-to-apples due to how LLM's work, but lets see if you note it counting posts wrongly.

Mike

I for one do not find Oracle to be helpful as the advice is only marginally better than the classic Magic 8-ball.

As it triggers the email function of threads I follow I find it to be actively harmful as it spams me with what I find to be unhelpful posts and then blocks emails related to actual posts by the other members of the thread unless I engage with it to return to the site before someone else posts.

It says it can be ignored and yet:



Proposed solutions in order of my preference:

a) Allow Oracle to be ignored by all persons (not just thread originators) and for this ignore to block emails such that other posts still trigger the emails as they do now even if Oracle has posted. (I'm not sure if this is how ignore would normally work as I've never wanted to ignore an account before!)
b) Have Oracle not trigger the follow emails at all.
c) Have Oracle trigger the emails but not block the next legitimate post in the thread from also triggering an email.

@Big Mike, I have seen that most users who receive the @Oracle posts either take them in stride (ignore them) or say they think they are helpful.

However, I have seen two so far who didn't like them and actively objected.

One is @Adapter, who posted above. Another is @silly, who objected to @Oracle's suggestions and responded as if it were a regular poster who had made an unwelcome post:



It may not have been clear that this was a test for an AI. I know that its title says it's an AI, but this may not be evident on first reading, and it is not clear this is a test. Also, it is not immediately clear how to opt out, assuming that worked. (I do like the fact that the AI is a moderator, which gives it an official status as coming from the forum, but that is also the problem with trying to put it on an "Ignore List.")

I wrote him and explained what was going on, and I said I would get back to him with the solution of how to exclude his journal from the test.

I think that when Oracle introduces itself, it should say upfront that it is an AI that is being tested, that feedback is welcome, and how to opt out. (It has the AI in its title, and it says how to opt out at the bottom of the post, but I think both should be among the first things anyone reads in the post, at least while it is being tested.)

Also, we can't assume everyone reads this thread and knows what is going on and will post any issues here. So I think it would be a good idea to post a link to your first post about Oracle in this thread (without displaying it in the big box) so they have it easily available if they need it.

Bob.

---------------------

Edit: also, not everyone knows how to put someone on Ignore. @silly just wrote after my post in his thread that he couldn't find the "Ignore button." Probably he is not alone, I would say certainly not. (For anyone reading this who doesn't know, left-click on the poster's name in the block to the left of their post and select "Ignore (username)" in the dropdown. That will prevent their being able to post in a thread you are the originator of, and also it will make any posts of theirs anywhere else invisible to you.)

I checked all the new links, and they are all to the right people (the thread starters).

I notified NinjaTrader a couple weeks ago, the issue is on their side. Hopefully will be resolved soon.

When I follow a thread nothing happens. It shows that I'm following and I am able to unfollow but I don't recieve any notifications.
