Claude IS A GENIUS STOCK TRADER
Most people have no clue how to use it.
Here are 18 prompts to unlock stock trading automation...
The Paradigm Shift
Most traders treat Claude like a search engine. They ask, "What stock should I buy?" and get a generic disclaimer. The pros treat Claude like a Senior Quantitative Analyst. You don't ask for "tips"; you provide raw data, SEC filings, and technical indicators, then ask it to build a weighted scoring model. It’s about moving from "opinion-based trading" to "logic-based automation."
