Developer builds LLM trading bot using visual analysis and debate prompts

A developer details their journey in creating a trading bot that leverages large language models (LLMs) for financial analysis. Initially, the bot failed by relying on text-based LLM outputs, but the developer found success by feeding candlestick chart images directly to Google Gemini 3.6 Flash for visual inference. The system was further optimized with custom, JIT-compiled indicator engines and a novel prompt structure that forces the LLM to debate both bullish and bearish cases simultaneously, improving analytical rigor and efficiency. AI
