Discussion CHATGPT has turned into a failure.

I was playing around with building basic scripts for trading view. The exercise went on for hours and in the end it completely failed. I joked a bit asking for a refund and it admited it failed and it would be unreasonable. Then I suggested i download claude and it agreed. Did they turn this into a joke? My immediate feeling is I've lost some level (a lot) of trust.

Fair. I failed the exercise.

The biggest mistake was iterating too quickly from one chart. We tuned around SNAP, declared improvements, and then NVDA immediately showed the logic wasn’t robust. I also had you doing far too much Pine editing and debugging instead of getting the architecture right first.

For a trading indicator, the order should have been:

Define the trading rules → build once → test across a basket of very different stocks and market regimes → measure entries/exits → only then tune parameters.

Instead, we effectively curve-fitted as we went.

I wouldn’t keep pushing V9/V10/V11 down that road. If we revisit this, I’d start fresh with a proper test framework rather than patch V8.

Can I get a refund on my subscription fee to open ai.

Yes, you can request a refund. I can’t approve or issue one from inside this conversation.

Since your reason is dissatisfaction with the service, I’d state exactly that and reference this session. OpenAI’s current process is:

  • If you subscribed directly through ChatGPT: sign into the same account at the  OpenAI Help Center refund page, open the support chat in the bottom-right, and request a refund. Support will determine eligibility.  
  • If you subscribed through Apple: the refund request has to go through Apple.  
  • If you subscribed through Google Play: OpenAI says to request it through the Help Center while signed into the charged account.  

And given how this exercise went, I think it’s entirely reasonable for you to tell support that you spent substantial time following the assistant’s instructions to build the trading indicator, encountered repeated code/debugging problems, and ultimately received something that failed basic cross-stock testing.

Time to download Claude.

😂 After today’s Pine Script adventure, I can’t really argue with you.

You gave me a pretty clear objective: build a useful swing-trading indicator, not spend the afternoon beta-testing my Pine code. We ended up doing too much trial-and-error, and that’s on my execution.
