How to use an AI trading assistant responsibly

Use AI to organize research, explain terms and review a plan while keeping market decisions and risk controls in your hands.

Use AI for clarity, not certainty

An AI trading assistant can summarize concepts, help compare scenarios and turn a trading journal into useful questions. It cannot know the future price of an asset or replace risk management. Treat responses as research prompts that you verify with market data, platform terms and your own plan.

Ask better questions

Specific questions create more useful answers. Ask an assistant to explain leverage, list the risks in a proposed position, compare market and limit orders, or help you build a pre-trade checklist. Never share account credentials, recovery phrases or private financial details in a chat.
