Nathan Smith, a high school student from rural Oklahoma, has created an AI-powered trading bot that has outperformed the Russell 2000 by achieving a 23.8% return in just four weeks. Smith's bot utilizes ChatGPT to autonomously manage a small portfolio of micro-cap stocks, demonstrating impressive decision-making capabilities such as timely selling of stocks like CADL, which significantly contributed to profits. Smith's experiment stands out due to its full documentation and open-source nature, allowing others to replicate his results. The bot focuses solely on U.S.-listed micro-cap stocks under $300 million market cap, trading once a week while adhering to strict risk metrics. Smith plans to extend this experiment for a full year, aiming to balance his academic commitments with this emerging passion for quantitative finance.
