What they did

A trader uses Grok Bot connected to their brokerage (IBKR) to roll sold puts: they talk it over, then the bot proposes the trades in the account for them to confirm.

How it went

Single trader post; real money at risk. Never let the bot submit orders without confirmation; check every staged order

Worth knowing

  • Single trader post; real money at risk. Never let the bot submit orders without confirmation; check every staged order.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Review my open short puts in [broker]. For each near expiry or in the money, propose a roll (strike, expiry, credit/debit) with the reasoning and risk. Stage the orders but do not submit — I'll confirm each one myself.
