How long do you think, until we can create indicators and custom indicators using only voice commands? - page 3

So please enough with the dramatized futuristic speculations always trying to predict the future.

Old Man Johnson here...

Speech recognition (voice command) has been commercially and widely available since 1987 (Timeline of speech and voice recognition - Wikipedia).

For an individual user who can't type efficiently, speech recognition is potential benefit. Hooking it up to AI is arguably no different than hooking it up to Microsoft Word. It's merely an input device.

 
its fun to see how people almost 10 years ago talk about the time we are living now, (i am secretely hoping they buy some bitcoins back in 2017 hahaha)
 

Yeah, my 9-year-old comment deserves an update.

From that point in time, LLMs became available to the general public.


This is how I see the situation today:

- AI can be used in software development if you are building a one-off product or if you understand your code base and can direct AI to work on it.

- Modifying and maintaining AI-built code is extremely hard. 

- The problem is that when you don't understand the code, you have to either spend some time to learn about it, or you just let an AI do "something" and hope that it is correct.


For small projects, it's probably fine. Simple indicators and EA's can be regenerated from scratch each time. 

For anything slightly more ambitious, you can't be sure the code works in every situation.

Maybe you can verify it's correct in a few of the situations you asked the AI to build, but until you read and learn about the code AI built for you, you can't know if it will open a trade in some random situation.

When the money is at stake, that's a pretty significant risk. 


MQL has another problem - there is just not enough sample code available on the internet for an AI to learn. That's why it mixes MQL4, MQL5 and some C++.

This can be fixed with a proper prompting and skills, but for that you have to know a bit about MQL coding.


AI can significantly improve development speed if you know what you are doing.

Vibe coding in trading - I think that it's still a fast way to big losses.


I'm a software developer who uses AI daily for last almost two years and this is my current opinion. 

When things change, I'll write another update, this time I probably wont have to wait 9 years.
