Why do you believe an LLM would be good at this task?

Well. That's a good question. My assumption is that LLMs absorbed enough data and can predict at least how normal people will set these lines (open, close etc).

Next step is to explore how god these forecasts are. Although I don't think they will always green, but if for example 51% of them are good I'll call it a win.

When a stock analyst creates a report, they’re doing quite a bit of technical analysis mixed with subjective judgment. An LLM is doing none of that, but guessing what that report might look like, based on no underlying analysis. It’s vibe investing.

I don’t believe this is an appropriate application for an LLM, unless it’s mixed with another program that does some fundamentals analysis based on historical data. That could be interesting.
