Rs 32,000 turned into Rs 64,000 in 10 days? Trader reveals how ChatGPT and Grok gave him "100% winning stock tips"

A Reddit user claims he turned Rs 32,000 into Rs 64,000 in just ten days using stock advice from two AI tools, ChatGPT and Grok. His viral post has sparked both excitement and serious warnings. Here's a closer look at what he did, how he did it, and why experts say you should be careful before following in his footsteps.

How He Used ChatGPT and Grok to Double His Money
He started with a simple plan:

• Rs 32,000 invested using a trading app (Robinhood)
• Two AI bots: ChatGPT and Elon Musk’s Grok
• 10 days to test them

By Day 4, he split the money, Rs 16,000 for each AI bot. He uploaded spreadsheets with stock fundamentals, technical charts, macro data, and even screenshots of options chains. Then, he gave a clear prompt: “Cut the fluff. Give me trades to boost my beach and beer budget.”

The results?

• ChatGPT gave 13 trades, all winners
• Grok suggested 5 trades, also all winners

He wrote, “These AI bros both have a flawless, 100% win rate.”

Reddit Reacts: Cheers, Laughs, and Warnings
The comments came flooding in.

• Some users were impressed: “Motivated to finally try this out myself!”
• Others joked: “ChatGPT helped me win fantasy football. Now it’s picking stocks?”
• But many were sceptical: “Everyone looks smart in a bull market.”
• “Don’t get fooled, it’s just gambling with better language.”

Are AI Tools Really That Good at Trading?
Not really. At least, not in the way people hope.
Here’s why experts are warning users to stay realistic:

• No live market data – AI bots like ChatGPT and Grok can’t see real-time prices.
• No emotional intelligence – They can spot trends, but can’t read fear or greed in the market.
• Bull market bias – When everything is going up, even random trades can work.
• Too small a sample – 17 trades over 10 days don’t prove anything.

What Experts Say About This AI Trading Experiment
Here’s what financial experts suggest:

• Backtesting is essential – Good trading strategies need to be tested over hundreds or even thousands of trades.
• Risk control is non-negotiable – Without stop-losses and proper position sizing, one bad trade can wipe everything.
• AI tools are helpful—but not magic – They can analyse and summarise, but they’re not crystal balls.

Should You Use AI Like ChatGPT for Stock Trading?
You can, but only as a support tool, not as your main trading brain.
AI can help:

• Save time by summarising financial reports
• Organise and compare data
• Suggest trends if you feed it quality inputs
• Act as a second pair of eyes

But don’t ignore your own research, risk planning, and financial goals. AI should assist, not replace, your thinking.

This Reddit story is fun and shows the growing interest in AI-powered investing. But doubling your money in 10 days isn’t normal, and certainly not guaranteed.

AI bots like ChatGPT and Grok are smart. But smart isn’t the same as safe. Use them to support your decisions, not drive them.
