Summary
Trading with DaviddTech walks through the complete process of building an AI-powered algorithmic trading bot using GPT-6 Astra and TradingView, from initial installation to live automated trading. The toolchain: ChatGPT desktop running GPT-6 Astra in Work mode, tradingkit.com’s free MCP server for Pine Script backtesting (installed via activation key directly through ChatGPT), and TradingView for strategy execution and broker connectivity.
After setup, GPT-6 was given eight hours to autonomously research, generate, and backtest trading strategies across multiple pairs. The outcome: 185 strategies — all on the 1-hour timeframe — compared to 13 strategies produced by Claude Fable 5.1 in a comparable sprint. Token efficiency was also notable: GPT-6 completed the full run with 96% of its usage allowance remaining, dramatically outpacing Claude Opus 5 and Grok in strategies-per-token. Equity curves ranged from flat to highly profitable, with the creator — a five-year algo trading veteran — noting that the volume of generated strategies enables backtesting at a scale previously impractical.
The video also covers moving from a backtested Pine Script strategy to a live automated bot via TradingView webhooks connected to a broker, and honestly addresses a practical issue: ChatGPT stopped mid-session after a few hours and required a continuation prompt. For developers or traders looking to use frontier AI models as autonomous strategy researchers, this provides a reproducible methodology with real comparative data.
