‘ ₹34,000 doubled in 10 days': How this trader used ChatGPT, Grok to mint money in stock market
In a detailed post titled 'Watching ChatGPT Make Me Money While I Chill and Crack a Cold One!', the user described how he initially deployed $400 into a US-based trading platform, Robinhood, to test whether ChatGPT could outperform his instincts in the market.
By day four, he split his portfolio between ChatGPT and Grok, setting up what he called an 'AI showdown'. He fed both models a wide range of market data- including spreadsheets, technical charts, options chain screenshots, and macroeconomic inputs- and asked them to recommend trades.
According to the post, across 10 trading days, he executed 18 trades, closed 17 of them, and recorded a 100% win rate. Of those, ChatGPT accounted for 13 winning trades, while Grok delivered five. 'Neither has let me down yet,' he wrote.
While acknowledging the short timeframe, the user expressed enthusiasm about continuing the experiment over the next six months to better evaluate long-term consistency. He also posted prompts and data that he used to help him mint money.
The post has since attracted widespread attention, with many users intrigued by the possibility of AI-assisted investing. However, several commenters cautioned against reading too much into short-term results, pointing out that market conditions, trade sizes, and risk exposure were not fully detailed.
A user wrote, 'Seriously, if it was this easy, everyone would've done it. This post is most likely a scam. No genuine venture can double your money in a day like what OP is claiming, AI or not.'
Another user wrote, 'I wanna say someone tried this like 6 months ago and lost a ton of money… sure you can say it wasn't as good tech back then, but also meme penny stocks I look at for fun are also doing well right now..'
'In other words, you already have to understand investing to be able to do this. All of this is Greek to me,' a user wrote.

Hyderabad Investors Pour Rs 310 Cr into Tata Arbitrage Fund in 3 months as Market Volatility Shifts Strategy
Arbitrage Funds are gaining traction as an investment option amid equity market volatility, particularly for those seeking low risk investment opportunity. By capitalising on price differences between the cash and futures markets, these funds seek to perform better in turbulent conditions, giving fund managers greater scope for intra-month trading opportunities. "In the current environment, arbitrage funds are uniquely positioned to capture the potential benefits of market volatility while shielding investors from direct equity risks. Elevated roll spreads and sustained volatility have enabled arbitrage funds to deliver reasonable returns, even as traditional income avenues have become less attractive. For investors seeking equity tax returns, arbitrage funds offer a suitable proposition," said Sailesh Jain, Fund Manager, Tata Asset Management. According to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), arbitrage funds attracted Rs 43,077 crore between April and June 2025, surpassing inflows into other hybrid and equity categories. This surge underscores investor preference for instruments that can deliver relatively reasonable returns while minimising equity risk during periods of heightened uncertainty. However, profit is not guaranteed. Reflecting the broader industry trend, the Tata Arbitrage Fund too, saw inflows of Rs 5,217 crore between April and June 2025, with Rs 310 crore coming from Hyderabad. The fund had assets under management of Rs 14,274 crore as of June 30, 2025. The environment is especially conducive for arbitrage strategies, as elevated volatility and strong roll spreads have opened potential return opportunities. The Reserve Bank of India's recent easing measures—cutting the repo rate by 50 basis points and the Cash Reserve Ratio by 100 basis points—has further boosted the appeal of arbitrage funds over traditional fixed income avenues. The upcoming corporate earnings and a positive monsoon outlook are also expected to lift market sentiment. As global and domestic uncertainties continue to cloud market outlook, arbitrage funds are a choice for investors to help them navigate choppy waters. With interest rates on a downward trend and savings account returns declining, traditional fixed-income options have become relatively less attractive in terms of returns. At the same time, factors such as the anticipated Indo-US trade deal, tariff negotiations, and ongoing geopolitical tensions are keeping the market volatility elevated. Although the US dollar index remains subdued for now, any spike in global risk aversion may trigger fresh market swings. In this backdrop, arbitrage funds seek to offer investors a low-risk way to capitalise on volatility without direct equity exposure.
