Gave Opus a goal: trade crypto, make $50/day. Pure pragmatism. Wrong job for an LLM. The naive design puts the model at the end of the pipeline — a nondeterministic component sitting exactly at the point of maximum consequence, the real-money decision. The fix: model at the front (explore strategy structures), deterministic rails downstream — optimize → backtest → out-of-sample → regime checks → paper → live. No LLM ever authorizes fund movement. Between the model and the money sits a gate, not a gradient. https://www.rankonelabs.com/blog/llms_dont_trade
