Could you build this?
Partial The marketing landing page and basic GPT prompt wrapper to extract sentiment from news headlines can be vibe-coded, but achieving 70% directional accuracy and reliably generating risk-adjusted trade plans requires quantitative finance modeling and robust backtesting.
What it would actually take: A functional trading intelligence platform requires a distributed streaming ingestion pipeline (Kafka, low-latency news scrapers, financial wire APIs), NLP classification pipelines, and a quantitative risk model for position sizing, stop-loss calculations, and slippage estimation. Financial engineering, market microstructure understanding, and high-reliability data engineering are required to avoid catastrophic real-money trading losses.
