Autonomous trading bots, built with an AI coding agent, running on real money in small amounts. Each post dives into the strategy, illustrates performance, and distills what worked and didn't.
Four trades on $500 netted 17 cents and burned a five-hour token budget. Why an agentic grid bot pays for frequency twice.
The first version of this bot needed a 46% rally to bank $73. The rewrite trades the dips instead, and beats buy-and-hold only when the market goes nowhere.
Fourteen weeks on LABU, three cash injections timed to the drops, and a ladder that trailed buy-and-hold for ten of them before finishing ahead.
