How To Make A Living Trading With AI
In episode 547 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, you will be listening to an interview with professor and AI expert Dr. Matloob Khushi, sharing why he stopped believing in universal trading algorithms after spending years trying to build one. He walks through what he actually teaches his PhD students—and why most people claiming to trade with AI are really just feeding screenshots into a black box that's already seen tomorrow's prices. No hype, just the uncomfortable reality of what it takes to build something that actually holds up.
The video is also available for you to watch on YouTube.
