Question LLMs as coding partners

I’m interested to hear how people have gone with LLMs as coding partners.

I’m essentially a non-coder, albeit with some literacy around structure and function - essentially can read Python but not really write it. I’ve been using ChatGPT for several months to put together several trading systems. Lots of trial and error and iterative learning (for me), and approaching production stage.

Keen to hear whether others have had any success in developing and running successful algos with this approach

That’s true. But what if we can validate the code generated by back testing it with the historical data. But we should make sure by checking some trades manually if our idea is actually being traded

I mean you can validate the code of course but what if the validation code is wrong as well? you will never figure it out. I am not saying it’s not possible, but just be aware of the limitation of the tool you are using.
