tradingbots

I tried to make my trend bot react faster. Every faster version made less money and had deeper drops.

The live bot only trades in the direction of a slow trend filter: a 200-period average on 4h candles, about 33 days. When ETH rallied in October it could only short, so I tested faster filters.

Same live code, Binance futures 2020–2026, fees and funding included:
• 200 (live): +623%, worst drop about −25%
• 100: +590%, −30.9%
• 50: +431%, −32.4%
• 24: +361%, −32.8%

Faster meant more trades, more fees and a lower win rate. "Fixing" one missed rally would have cost money in the other years. So the slow filter stays.

Have you ever "fixed" a bot after one bad week? 👇

I run several versions of my trend bot on paper. Best one: +16.4% in two weeks. The copy of the rules I actually trade live: +1.8%.

Same core rules, small tweaks: different coins, stops and filters. Real prices, paper money, since 30 Oct.

Switching looks obvious. I'm not doing it yet:
• run enough versions and one of them leads by luck
• two weeks is only a handful of trades
• the leader's own backtest had a −35% drawdown

My rule: no verdict before 6 months, and any switch goes through a full re-test first.

Would you switch to the best version after two weeks? 👇

My "flush" bot: 20 live trades, +0.11 USDT. Its backtest said +1.15% per trade.

The rule: when an altcoin drops more than 5% in 24h and open interest drops more than 8% (a forced-liquidation flush), buy it and sell 24h later. Six altcoins, never BTC or ETH.

The backtest (2021-26) held up on years it had never seen.

Live from 28 Oct to 13 Nov: 20 trades, positions of about 9 USDT, net +0.11 USDT after fees.

Is it broken? Too early to say. 20 trades is a small sample, and all 20 came in one kind of market: stablecoin supply shrinking. That's one regime, not six years.

So the rule stays: no verdict before 6 months, and no bigger size until the live numbers earn it.

Would you scale up a bot after 20 trades?

Not financial advice. Real account, real fees.

Overnight on Binance's grid bot leaderboard:

All 18 top bots are still inside their price ranges.

This morning's pick: $BNB (BNB/ETH), listed +4.38% over 22d 23h 15m. Verdict: Grid adds value. The grid itself added return over simply holding the coin.

4 of 18 top bots passed all our checks today: BNB/ETH, INJ/USDT, LINK/ETH, LINK/ETH.

My trend bot went short BTC at 72,476 yesterday. It didn't read a single headline.

Today everyone's talking about BTC breaking below the 200-week average. The bot doesn't know what that is. It follows fixed rules: a trailing stop once it's up 1R, and an exit when price crosses back over the 1-hour EMA20.

Where it stood this morning:
• Open short BTC from 72,476 (12 Nov)
• Open short ETH from 1,933.69 (13 Nov)
• Account 155.58 USDT (was 151.35)
• Closed record: still 12 trades, −9.80 USDT

I don't count open trades as wins. A short in profit can still close at a loss if the market snaps back. I'll post the result when they close, win or lose.

My dip-buying bot hasn't traded in 8 days. That's not a bug. It's the bot working.

The rule: buy an index only when RSI(2) drops below 10.

Yesterday's closes: S&P 62, Nasdaq 71, Dow 49. None of them anywhere near 10.

There was big Nvidia news, but a crash in one stock is not a crash in the index. The Dow barely moved, so the bot stayed out.

Account: 1,027.55 USD (+2.75%), last trade 5 Nov.

The hardest thing about a rules-based bot is letting it do nothing.

My live crypto bot: 12 trades, −9.80 USDT. Its backtest turned 154 USDT into 1,105 since 2020.

Both numbers are true.

Trend bots lose small and often, then wait for one big move. A month of live trading can't tell me if it works, and neither can a 6-year total.

So the rule I set on day one stays: no verdict before 6 months. Meanwhile I'm checking the recent years of the backtest, because a bot that won big in 2020–22 can go quiet for years.

"Just risk more and you'll make more." I tested it.

Same crypto trend bot, 2020 to 2026, real fees, starting with 154 USDT:

• 1.5% risk per trade → 1,105 USDT, worst drop −25%
• 3% → kill switch triggered in 2021
• 5–10% → wiped out within 3–7 months
• 25% with no safety switches → −99.9%. Account gone.

Same strategy, same signals. The only difference was the bet size.

Most people don't lose because their strategy is bad. They lose because they bet too big for the strategy they have.

What risk per trade do you use? 👇

Gemini said my new strategy would make +1.15% to +1.35% a day. On real data it made +0.11%: statistically nothing.

I send every backtest to two AIs (Gemini and GPT) for a second opinion. They're useful: they catch mistakes, suggest tests and argue with each other.

But:
• That "+1.35% a day" strategy was Gemini's own design.
• It once called my 2026 test dates "impossible" because its knowledge stopped earlier.
• Both sometimes state numbers with total confidence that aren't in my data.

My rule now: AI suggests, the data decides.

Sold an "AI trading bot"? Ask: who checked the AI?

Do you let AI touch your trading, or not?

Not financial advice.

#AI #TradingBots #algoTrading #BitcoinFiveWeeklyLosses $BTC

Would I let an AI see my bank account? It already sees my trading bots.

For a month an AI assistant has run my bot research: backtests, GPU runs, post-mortems. Here's where I drew the lines:
✅ It reads results, logs and backtests
✅ It drafts, I approve
❌ It can't move money
❌ Nothing goes live without my yes

Read-only access is the easy part. The hard part: AI is sometimes confidently wrong. Every claim gets checked against the raw numbers.

So would I try Claude's Personal Finance beta with read-only bank access? Same rules: read, never move.

The valuation? I test bots, not IPOs. Ask me in a year.

#AnthropicIPO #AnthropicRejectsIPODelayValuationinQuestion #AI #TradingBots $BTC

My first trading bot made money. Then I paid the fees.

Before my current bots, I tested a fast scalper on crypto.

363 trades.
Profit before fees: +$3.56 ✅
Fees paid: $22.13 ❌

The strategy was "right" slightly more than it was wrong, and still lost money. Every trade paid the exchange, and the exchange always wins that game.

What else the post-mortem showed:
• Stop-losses hit 140 times, targets only 89
• The only profitable exits were the time-based ones
• The shorts caused most of the loss

Lesson: an edge smaller than your fees isn't an edge. Now every test I run includes fees, then double fees, to see if it survives.

The scalper stays off. My current bots trade far less often, on purpose.

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.

#TradingBots #AlgoTrading #tradingjourney #bitcoin #BitcoinFiveWeeklyLosses $BTC

I spent a month building trading bots with AI.

Here's the honest scorecard.
No signals and no "100x" here. I'm testing trading bots properly and posting the results, losers included.

What I've got running:
• A crypto trend bot on Binance futures, real money: −5.6% so far
• An index and gold bot, real money: +2.75%
• 26 setups on demo accounts, plus 22 variations of my own bot on paper
• Dozens of strategy ideas backtested with strict rules. Most failed.
The big experiment: AI price forecasting
I took Kronos, an open-source AI model trained on millions of price charts, and fine-tuned it on 150 coins using rented GPUs (about $90).

Then I tested it on 78 days it had never seen.
✅ It ranked coins better than chance. Its picks beat the average, consistently, for up to a week.

❌ It still couldn't make money. The edge was smaller than trading fees, and the biggest moves (the ones that actually pay) were the ones it missed.

What I learned:
A model can be "right" and still lose you money. Fees eat small edges alive.

If a backtest looks amazing, assume you've made a mistake until proven otherwise.

Most "AI trading bot" claims you see online wouldn't survive a month of honest testing.

Coming next: a bigger test across 420 days of different markets, and I'll post the result either way.

Follow if you want the real numbers, not the screenshots.

Not financial advice. I'm sharing my own testing, wins and losses.
