ChatGPT's response when I asked for a plan as outlined below
(help with strategies in real time using openAI API and feed
resulting orders through IBKR API. Thought a few of you might
be interested. The code is not difficult, I just can't visualize
how the end product / tool would function yet (e.g. I was
super surprised the first time I dropped a section of code into VS,
hit the run button and had a chart simply pop up on my screen
almost immediately. I don't know what I was expecting, but not
that).

Haha. Hard to argue! But many professionals use it. I imagine
because they skip right past the platform with their own custom
platform that executes through the API...which seems to have good
reviews.
Well, hooray for the professionals. Which most of us here are
not. Thanks to the lord, we live in an era in which
developers/companies have created platforms that serve us - to
execute our strategies/orders and not boggle our minds with trying
to configure the platform. Tastytrade comes to mind and Think or
Swim. Good times to live/trade in.

I love TastyTrade. However, TastyWorks rejected me when I
mistakenly disclosed my professional status. On the flip side, I
always get the feeling that a platform is probably hiding something
when they reject professionals. Maybe they don't want people
using the platform that might have knowledge about what is and
isn't allowable, and why?
*I get it - the various exchange agreements are different and
the real time data isn't free with professionals, etc, etc. But
still, it feels shady that they just reject
professionals.
regarding TastyTrade - they are amazing for shorting esp small
cap crap stocks that no other broker has shares for. I know a guy
who uses a scanner for the stocks gapping up the most, and he
shorts the ones that basically have no fundamentals. He'll do 1 or
2 a day, and whenever he gives me the one's he's short, I have
never been able to short from IB, which has generally been good

Yep, they're ok, until you start trying to fight fire with
fire...AI against AI. Then the retail platforms fall way
short of the mark...and they are losing ground quickly.
TradeStation has always been the "yeah, but what about TS"
....but they've been prone to freezing and crashing since
ever since, so it's pretty hard to build a business around and just
cross your fingers. When vol rises, TS crashes. You can almost set
a watch by it.

Visual Studio Code (Microsoft Product). There are other choices
but I had to pick one so I started here (would love to here if
someone prefers another program, and why). It's free.
After that, you just go to the python website and install
python and you can basically start dropping code provided by
ChatGPT into a .py file in VS code and play around with the
variables (if you're trying to learn, like me)
It's been 20 years, but I do have a background in basic
scripting, network admin and I was a DOS wizard way way back when.
If you can't find your way around a command prompt, you might be
better off trying to find a teacher (I've been trying to find one
myself, but it's not that easy for adults)

"feed resulting orders through IBKR API"
When the CIA wants to force terrorists to talk they make them use the Interactive Brokers platform. "No, please! Not that! I'll talk!"
