A month ago I made a decision: stop guessing, start testing.
I'm a project manager by trade (construction and logistics). My job is plans, numbers and deadlines, not charts. But I kept seeing the same thing online: screenshots of huge wins and never the losses.
So I set myself one rule: test everything properly, and show all of it.
How I started:
• 11 Oct: a bot trading indices and gold, live with about $1,000 on a cent account
• 14 Oct: a crypto trend bot on Binance futures, live with about $157 and tiny risk per trade (under 1%)
• Both run 24/7 on a rented server that checks itself and restarts anything that crashes
My ground rules:
Lock the rules before the test. No tweaking afterwards to make results look better.
Two AIs review every result (Gemini and GPT), and I check their claims against the actual numbers.
No verdict before 6 months. One good week means nothing. Neither does one bad week.
Small money first. If it can't work with $150, it doesn't deserve $15,000.
Why tell you? Because "honest bot results" is the content I wanted to find and couldn't.
Next post: the first strategy I tested, and why it failed.
Not financial advice. Just my own testing, shared openly.
