Building Live Trading Agents: From Prototype to Production (w/ The AI Collective)
On July 30, I’m joined by Stephan Rihs, founder of Rihs Ventures, for a new session in The AI Collective Founder Track:
What Agentic Trading Can Actually Do: From Vibe-Coding to Battle-Tested Strategies
Stephan is a startup advisor, AI consultant, and quantitative developer based in New York City. Drawing on experience spanning Coinbase, Wharton, and the Ministry of Finance, he brings a practical perspective on where generative AI is changing investment research and algorithmic trading, where it breaks down, and what it takes to move from prototype to production.
We’ll discuss:
What retail traders can realistically build with today’s AI models.
How AI can support investment research and strategy development.
Where human judgment and market experience remain essential.
How to move from a vibe-coded prototype to a robust trading system.
Which tools and platforms are currently worth exploring.
Moderated conversation followed by tactical Q&A.
