My 6 year-old RTX3080 (10GB) could run this 35B MOE model and it shocked me that the results are actually usable.

What I mean is that it's not just chatting with it but connecting with a coding agent like Pi and letting it do the work.

When I first tested Qwen it was really slow like 10token/s so I didn't bother trying. Now with the optimizations it runs at 40+t/s stable with 128k context. I was considering to purchase a mac studio but I guess this can last me for a while now :)

i want to test futures option, have never done them before but fairly confident with stock options. for ES what would be a good account size to play short put there? just 1 contract each time.

google says the margin is probably around 15k-20k but i'm aware the notional is like ~350k so wanted to ask experts here, thanks!

i started developing & testing my trading bot since last Friday May 15, so far ive been using on only 0DTE TSLA options that are far OTM.

my account size is small started with ~38k so i can only trade 1 TSLA option safely at any given time. each day when 0DTE is available, bot would scan option chain and find around 10-15 delta, then asks approval for trade. i still need to manually approve now.

the bot is driven by an AI agent, codex, which im using the pro plan ($100/mo). if the profit is sustainable then i'm basically getting a top tier AI for free.

the numbers:

4 trades, one each on May 15, 18, 20, 22. all short OTM calls
4 wins (all expired), total profit is about $169

it's still very early stage and sometimes doesn't get data fully so i had to manually intervene. i'm also adding new functionalities each day as a need comes up, e.g. today i just added cancel / update order

day 2 of experimenting & building a trading bot, and this was the 2nd trade by the bot.

today was tricky because stock went down ~10 when i got ready to trade. interactive brokers didn't give me all valid greeks so i had to manually pick a strike.

i generally pick between 5-15 delta options. the 420c was about 11 delta. premium was low but i still approved the trade

running pnl: $109 im calling this 'breakeven' because it pays my AI (codex) monthly subscription cost

stack:
- my simple trading rules
- interactive brokers
- codex

my AI trading bot made me $81 today selling a 0DTE option, and i still couldn't believe it...

this morning the bot sold a TSLA 440C, at the time it was about 11 delta so looked safe, so it executed the order and sold a credit of $81. underlying price was about $429 at the moment.

ive been watching the market entire day, by 4pm the underlying was still hovering around 429, and the 440C expired worthless.

if i get another green day, basically the bot can make enough to cover my monthly AI bot cost.

crazy thing is that i just made the bot last night, paper trading required register and approval, so i'm like f*ck it let's just go real money.

interesting time we are living in, just wanted to share. have a good weekend!
