Talk: Using AI to Build Trading Tools
On Saturday the 13th of June 2026, I gave a talk to the London Investments and Traders Group. The topic was “Using AI to build trading tools”.
It turned out fruitful. I originally created this talk to be only about 30 minutes long, and left 30 minutes for Q&A. It went on for 2+ hours, with many questions, discussions and debates. For me that was very positive feedback, because so many people were interested and very engaged. Which is why they managed to hang around for that long lol.
There was one topic that slipped my mind, because my slide deck went back and forth quite a few times. That one was Why Does AI Hallucination Keep Happening? It’s fine though. I followed up with the group, and I have also finished my more comprehensive blog on the topic, which you can read by clicking the link above.
I built this presentation with entry level AI users in mind. People who are less technical in IT, but who are still subject matter experts or domain experts in their own right. It is also useful for anyone starting out in their professional life and still learning. Basically, it covers the ground for people who have probably only used AI as far as the web chat prompts. Really, this is about the pathway to AI adoption, the proper way.
A few people also asked why I am not selling the trading platform I have built. My answer was simple. I am not here to give you a fish, I am here to show you how to fish, and how to make your own tools to do so. And that tool is knowing how to use AI properly, not the sloppy way.
I’m making my presentation slider available here, along with my keynotes. It’s a very lite introduction, just short bullet points of my keynotes, not the details. That part was my vocal talk. I try to avoid scripted talks, and instead feel the crowd and their needs, filling in the gaps as necessary with my expertise and knowledge in Tech & AI and more. If you missed the talk, most of my knowledge can be found on this blogsite. And obviously I haven’t put all of it into words yet, so if you find gaps, more blogs will come as I find the time to sit and write.
PS. The blogs I write on this site are pretty much drafted in detail by me first, and I only use AI for very lite touch ups. So these are not AI written blogs. Well, mostly. I have one or two on here from when I tested how AI writes versus how I write, and they still sit there. I’ll let you guess which ones! Historically it just wasn’t worth my time to rewrite them. I find that when AI tries to write, it flows like a whitepaper for a university dissertation or research which is quite difficult to read and make sense of. Also, it doesn’t quite capture the feel of sharing a human experience.
