- Cryptoscammers everywhere rubbing their hands together. There's so many ways this could go wrong. Everything from prompt injection, to being tricked in running a specific scammers setup, to which they can pump and dump specific stocks, and all sorts of other manmade horrors.

- This is wild. I nearly got banned from Robinhood for just running DCA using an unofficial python api. Crazy how times change.
- I'm trying to see how this could be net positive.
- I don’t understand this constant fascination with having language models trade stocks. Language models are very useful tools but not aligned at all with generating alpha.

- I’m using Hermes Agent and this MCP to orchestrate 5 models (DS4 Flash, GPT 5.5, Opus 4.8, Grok Build, Gemini 3.5 Flash). Basically these 5 models are making mock trades every day and keeping track of their potential losses and profit. Hermes keeps them going and making trades throughout the day.
After a month, I’m going to check their mock trading sheet and see which one was the most “profitable” and then give that agent $500/day to make trades.

- Will we start seeing stock market dips and spikes correlated to model releases?
- Sounds like a feasible world economic collapse scenario.

- I wonder how much Robinhood will profit from this change.
Obviously how much the average user will profit / compile debt from this change is a lot more variable.

- I was a fan of Robinhood's mission of democratizing finance and prioritizing UX for casual traders. They seem to jump on every hype train though, crypto, prediction markets, now agentic trading, whether it is ethical or not or good for their customers or not, and it seems like the distance between "democratizing finance" and "finding new suckers" is closing. Disappointing but not surprising.

- I don’t understand why anybody would use LLM:s for trading (other than some narrow speed trading news)

- There needs to be a ton of regulation of this eventually. this will not be a problem from a safety perspective today, but a smarter-than-human agent trained on long-horizon tasks should not be given access to influence the market unless this is done very carefully.

- You already could trade stocks algorithmically for decades. I don't see the value in letting the AI agent trade completely autonomously though.
This feels like when everything became webified for no reason, or everyone added features like 3D TVs that were clearly not necessary.

- No thanks. I prefer artisanal financial ruin.
- This will completely mess up technical analysis to the point where stocks just follow a random walk.

- If there was anything missing from the average American’s economic wellbeing, it was the ability to create bespoke financial products to scalably make bets against informed professional traders while they sleep.

- I have no reason whatsoever to think anything could go wrong with this idea.
- Robinhood didn't implement an API for users for a decade, even hindering and banning users who used an unofficial API, and now they do this. All they had to do is have a clean API.

- What could possibly go wrong?
I suspect that the folks that get it right, will do nicely.
But not everyone will get it right...

- Is this an improvement over the full port 0dte trades you see on WSB?
- Great! Now, the remaining thing we need is the ability to declare an AI agent a legal person, and then we're off for some very interesting times.
- Someone, somewhere spinning up ads telling me about Mr Average Person who made millions with this nonsense...

- Imagine the possibilities with prompt injection.
> Oops, your in deep debt now.
- Another way for retail to get themselves and their AI agent wrecked.
Will be waiting for the notice to say that 70% of users lose money to now 90% of users lose money.

- Robinhood is named ironically. It's where retail joe six pack goes to lose their money to the rich.
