Description

Ooooft, this one has been in the pipe for a while now but finally got around to finishing the edit. Seriously interesting experiment, I'm wondering if I should do some livestreams and we can tweak and backtest params live to see what works? 🤷🏽‍♂️ Probably will get back to reinforcement learning for ML and some deep visualisation stuff I've been wanting to get my hands on, alas I digress. In this, you're going to learn; 1. How to hook up a bot to Kraken 2. How to setup a LLM to help make trading decisions (see performance for yourself don't at me with "you should've used {insert fav llm here} llm" 😅 3. How to refactor all the code you just wrote and use finbert.
