being told trading isn't worth learning in 2026 due to AI
poker bots were better than humans by 2019. i still win $200+/hr in public games live & winning online
AI recently made learning poker faster (gtowiz)
i do see his point about trading though - given AI can be ur opponent. unlike poker where bots r (theoretically) banned
anyone who's been around doing discretionary trading successfully for a while have a take on this?
am i cooked
i am very unsure of how my 2ish years of full-time poker are going to transfer to trading
just took an internship with a family office that has a trading arm, they're paying me $230/hr for a month
kind of a weird move from me given i've made ~$170k this year playing not many hours of poker, nor have i ever traded before - im a financial fish that just puts money in index funds
the opportunity came up super randomly, the founder watches my yt poker vlogs
im sure some ppl here know him
he reached out to me via dm & basically said "ur earnings in poker are capped. u should get into trading"
was super sus about it but he's pretty big in the space on X so i took a call w him
he convinced me
guess they wanted someone who’s coming in on a clean slate & see how long it takes to train someone from legit 0 -> competent
today was my first real day, in way over my head, will see how this goes and keep reporting back here with learnings / P&L
gl us?
