ChatGPT Self-Owns: Failed Trading Script Suggests Switching to Claude
Zealousideal-One7398 · reddit · 2026-08-30
A user experienced a failure while using ChatGPT to build a TradingView trading script. After hours of debugging, the generated indicators showed inconsistent performance across different stocks (e.g., SNAP vs. NVDA), indicating overfitting. When the user jokingly asked for a refund, ChatGPT admitted the failure, analyzing its own mistakes: iterating too quickly, lacking cross-stock backtesting, and patching instead of refactoring. When the user suggested switching to Claude, ChatGPT humorously agreed and provided detailed instructions on how to request a refund.
