Please don't add an AI that tells me what to trade

Generating a strategy from a description is fine, it's a typing shortcut, and I still have to read what came out and decide whether it's sensible. What I'd object to is the next step, where something recommends what to trade or scores my ideas for me. Not because it couldn't be useful, but because it would relocate the judgment from me to something I can't inspect, and the whole reason I use a tool like this is to make my own reasoning explicit. Saying it now, while it's a preference rather than a complaint.

Agreed, and I'd add: the day a tool tells people what to trade is the day its incentives stop matching theirs.

I'd probably want it and I think you're right that I shouldn't have it.

The inspectability point is the one that matters. A recommendation I can't test is a recommendation I can't use responsibly.

Noted, and it's a fair line to draw. The generation feature is meant as exactly what you described — a faster way to write something you then read and edit. We don't have plans for a "here's what to trade" layer, and if anything scoring-adjacent ever did get discussed, the inspectability point Dee raised is the bar it would have to clear first. Keep the preferences coming, easier to hear them now than after we've built something.
