We tried predicting the dollar with LLM news analysis — and failed
zit-hb · reddit · 2026-11-10
An engineering note from CodeMiner documents a failed experiment: after unexpectedly receiving some US dollars, the author wondered whether constant LLM analysis of the news could help time converting USD to euros. It couldn't — the LLM-driven news reading failed to predict dollar movements. The author still believes the approach has potential for quickly turning public perception into an easy-to-read value, just not for FX timing. Maybe next time.
