I ran an LLM trading agent 24/7 for a month. 107 trades later, I'm down 1%, and it didn't even fully follow my own strategy.

Curious how people here are actually using AI in their trading workflow right now. Is it mostly for research and data gathering, or are people letting it make real decisions?

Some background: I've been trading for about 2 years now, still very much a beginner, mostly spot, and recently started looking into automation. I tried a third party platform where you write out your strategy and pick an LLM model, and it claims to run a 24/7 agent for you on Hyperliquid, with the LLM analyzing market conditions to decide entries and exits.

Since setting the agent up on 7/24, it's completed 107 trades total. Mixed wins and losses, currently sitting at about 1% down, mostly eaten by fees rather than bad calls.

The bigger issue for me is that the LLM seems to hallucinate or act on its own judgment sometimes. It's not executing my strategy exactly as written, which has made me pretty uneasy about trusting the platform. I genuinely can't tell if the underperformance is because my strategy itself isn't good, or if using an LLM to actually execute trades is just fundamentally unreliable right now.

So I'm trying to figure out if AI is actually useful for trading (stocks or crypto), or if I just haven't found the right way to apply it yet. How is everyone here actually using it in practice?

My AI trading agents disagree with each other constantly — turns out that might be the most useful part

Been building AegisProject (multi-agent trading system — technical, sentiment, and volatility agents each vote on a trade), and the most interesting part turned out to be where the agents disagree, not the final decision.

When they all agree, the trade is usually straightforward. The interesting cases are when they split — technical sees a clean breakout and says BUY, volatility looks at the same move and says it's too fast, sit out. Those disagreements seem to flag something real that a single-model system would just smooth over.

I checked whether trades with more agent disagreement actually turned out messier. Early signs say yes, but not nearly enough data to trust that yet.

Curious if anyone here has seen disagreement between models/agents actually mean something, or if it's usually just noise dressed up as insight.

I built a no-code strategy builder with backtesting—looking for feedback from traders

After months of development, I’ve added a visual no-code strategy builder to CoreCandle. It’s already working in beta.
Instead of writing Pine Script or MQL, you build strategies by connecting conditions visually, then backtest them on historical market data.
Current beta features include:
Visual no-code strategy builder
Historical backtesting
Backtest data sourced directly from MetaTrader 5 (MT5) or imported from CSV files
Multiple technical indicators
Configurable entry and exit conditions
Performance statistics after each backtest
I’m looking for feedback from traders and strategy developers before the public release.
Some questions:
Is MT5 and CSV import enough for your backtesting workflow, or would you want additional data sources?
What feature would make you switch from Pine Script or MQL?
What’s missing from current no-code strategy builders?
What would you test first if you had access?
Constructive feedback is appreciated. My goal is to make strategy development accessible to traders who don’t want to write code.

What Goes Into Building a Reliable Crypto Trading Bot?

Building a reliable crypto trading bot involves much more than buy and sell logic. Developers need to handle exchange APIs, real-time market data, order execution, risk controls, authentication, logging, and API failures. A modular architecture also makes testing and strategy updates easier. For developers building one, which part has been the hardest to get right: API integration, execution speed, or risk management?

Built a self-funded multi-wallet Pump.fun ops desk — looking for operator feedback

Full disclosure: this is my project.

I’ve been building PumpFunBot around a pretty specific split:

  1. Free mint scan for people checking a CA.
  2. Paid operator desk for people running their own token operations.

The desk is self-funded: you create/fund your own boss + worker wallets and run the available micro-trade / wave / random-walk strategies from the dashboard. The current plans are 1 SOL / 2.5 SOL / 5 SOL for different access windows.

Important distinction: I’m not selling a ranking guarantee or pretending paid activity magically creates organic demand. It’s an on-chain operations tool and the site says that plainly.

The part I’m most interested in feedback on is whether the product separation is clear enough. Scanner users should be able to use the free side without being forced into the operator tool.

https://pumpfunbot.app/

If you run Solana launches, what would make the operator desk materially more useful?

I’ve been building a Market Intelligence engine for traders and would love some honest feedback

I’ve spent the past several months building a proprietary Market Intelligence (MI) engine for my trading platform.
Rather than generating opinions like a chatbot, the engine combines multiple market factors into a probability-based assessment. It continuously evaluates historical outcomes and adjusts the weighting of different signals based on how accurately they aligned with actual market behavior.
It currently analyzes factors such as:
Trend
Momentum
Volume
Support & resistance
Chart patterns
Multi-timeframe alignment
Economic events
The goal isn’t to replace a trader’s judgment, but to provide a concise view of market conditions, confidence, and risk before making a decision.
I’m still validating and improving the engine, so I’d really appreciate feedback from experienced traders.
What would you want a tool like this to show?
What would make you trust it?
What would make it genuinely useful instead of just another indicator?
I’m happy to answer questions about the design and validation process.

I built a 24/7 Coinbase account monitor after my trading bot went silent and cost me money

One of my Coinbase Advanced Trade bots stopped running and I didn't notice for hours. API key had expired silently — no errors thrown, nothing in the logs, just quiet while the market moved without me.

That was the whole motivation. I built PositionPing to solve exactly that problem.

\*\*What it does:\*\*

  • Watches Coinbase Advanced Trade accounts around the clock
  • Fires email or SMS alerts when a position's P&L crosses a threshold you set, an account stops sending fresh data (stale/hung bot), a daily loss limit is breached, or a balance changes unexpectedly
  • View-only API keys only — it physically cannot trade or move funds, enforced at the Coinbase API scope level

\*\*Stack:\*\* nothing exotic. The hard part was getting the monitoring logic tight enough that it catches real failures without firing false positives at 3am.

\*\*Where it's at:\*\*

  • Live at [positionping.com](http://positionping.com) \- Free tier: email alerts, 1 account
  • Pro: $9/mo, SMS + up to 5 accounts
  • \~2 min setup, mobile app available

Took a few weekends to get to something I'd actually trust on my own accounts. Happy to talk about the build — the API polling logic, alert delivery, anything.

I Built a Crypto Strategy SHITCOINER - currently in production on very large capital.

BACKGROUND

I’m a Python programmer by profession. Eight years ago, I quit my job and started building crypto arbitrage bots. In the beginning, even the most primitive script running across exchanges could be profitable. Then the market became increasingly professional, and I had to look for more and more complicated and sophisticated algorithms.

About a year ago, I shut down all my arbitrage bots because they simply stopped working, and I was no longer able to come up with anything new. I did make good money from them, though, and essentially without taking much risk (delta-neutral arbitrage).

I started looking for a different approach, this time with actual market risk on perps. I combined several ideas that had occurred to me over the years.

I should point out upfront that I don’t use, or even believe in, technical analysis - especially when it comes to crypto.

EDGE

The main thesis behind the strategy is that ~100% of tokens are shitcoins with no fundamental value beyond speculation, driven almost entirely by retail greed.

Over the long term, every shitcoin will lose most of its ATH - it’s simply a matter of time. The downward gravitational force on price is further amplified by continuous inflation (emissions, unlocks) and market dilution from constantly listing new shitcoins.

ALGORITHM

In very simple terms, we take the top 50–200 tokens by market cap, with a primitive filter requiring them to be at least 1.5 years old. The goal is to minimize the risk of a speculative 10x–50x pump in a newly launched asset.

The position is built using limit SELL orders, but the grid is dynamic and designed to target mean reversion.

Each token has a predefined maximum dollar position size up to which the strategy is allowed to average in. During each loop cycle (typically every 1–2 hours), the algorithm places a SELL order for each token representing a fraction of its target position size.

Typically, we place the order at a price 3–6% above the current market price. If the order doesn’t fill, it is cancelled during the next cycle and replaced based on the current market price and current total equity.

In other words, we are trying to capture local spikes and betting on a retracement.

The basket of shitcoin shorts is hedged with a BTC long at roughly a 1:1 ratio. The BTC long is primarily there to maximize margin efficiency and mitigate the effects of altseasons.

Profit is realized gradually whenever reducing the token position plus the corresponding portion of BTC results in a profit. Typically, we start reducing the position once the combined P&L reaches around +2%.

If a token position exceeds its target value, it is cut using a market order at a loss.

The parameters are slightly adjusted in real time based on a hype_score (Google Trends, volume, price momentum). The algorithm switches into defensive mode as the market starts heating up.

The strategy currently runs across 20 instances, each slightly differently tuned for diversification.

RESULTS / RISKS

The strategy will blow up during an extremely strong altseason - something like 2021: COVID + stimulus + a young market, where literally every shitcoin was doing 10x every month.

Individual token explosions will reduce profitability, but they are not necessarily a threat given how broad the basket is.

I built a very detailed exchange-engine model to simulate execution down to 1-minute candles.

Based on numerous simulations, I’m targeting a CAGR of >150–200% with a maximum drawdown of 50–60%. I put $2.1M into production (21 instances per 100k).

Obviously, the potential risk/profit profile can be reduced, but personally I believe crypto altseasons will become weaker over time, so YOLO.

The main backtests start from 2024. Going further back doesn’t make much sense because there simply aren’t enough old tokens to construct the basket properly.

Funding fees eat up around 10–20% of the profit.

The high drawdown is unfortunately an expected consequence of the strategy during altseasons (12/2024, 07/2025).

Under the fundamental assumption that we don’t include very young shitcoins, it is difficult to find a set of parameters under which the strategy generates a loss.

I also ran stress tests by drastically reducing the token-age filter to just a few months. The strategy still produces high returns, but with an even deeper maximum drawdown.

So far, the live production results are consistent with the model, although the program has only been running for a few months.

WILL IT BLOW ME UP OR NOT?

Three AI agents run my trading strategy. The one that finds a trade can'...

I traded my own strategy and lost money. Not because the plan was wrong — because I
couldn't follow it. I knew where the stop belonged and I moved it anyway.


So I built the thing I needed: an LLM agent that runs my strategy on my own exchange
account, on my own keys, and writes down its reasoning every time it wakes up —
including every time it decides to do nothing.


That last part is the whole point. Every other bot I bought was a black box: you get a
fill and no idea why. This one thinks in plain language and you can read all of it.


How it's built:


• A trader agent wakes on a schedule and on price triggers, reads the market, and
  proposes a signal — side, entry, stop, target, a confidence score, and its reasoning.
• A separate controller agent sizes and executes it behind code-level risk gates, and
  can refuse. The agent that finds a trade is never the agent allowed to take it.
• A curator agent reads the log back afterwards and rewrites the playbook from what
  actually happened.

Here is an actual wakrup from this week where it decided to wait:
22:00 WATCHING BREAKDOWN RETEST
conviction 4/10
scheduled wakeup 
"The 1h reclaimed 63450, but a failed-breakdown long needs a 4h reclaim above 64050. Next wakeup on a 4h close above 64000."

You can watch one of my agents work right now, including the decisions where it
refuses: https://soulquant.ai/live

Are no-code algo trading platforms actually reliable for live crypto trading?

I’ve been looking into no-code platforms that let traders build a strategy, backtest it, and connect it to an exchange for automated execution.

The workflow sounds convenient, especially for someone who understands trading logic but doesn’t want to maintain a full trading system. My main concern is how well these platforms handle the transition from backtesting to live execution.

For those who have used one:

  • How different were your live results from the backtest?
  • Were fees, slippage, and rejected orders handled realistically?
  • Did the visual builder become limiting as the strategy grew?
  • What risk controls would you consider essential before connecting an exchange account?

I’m interested in practical experiences, including the problems people encountered—not just platform recommendations.

Automated futures Trading pipeline (Blofin+ Google Sheets logging)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building an automated trading pipeline in n8n that scans market indicators, executes real-time futures trades directly via exchange APIs (currently running on Blofin), handles auto-take-profit/stop-loss placement, and logs every execution directly to Google Sheets.

Current Pipeline Architecture:

  • Trigger / Market Data: Scans ticker metrics, EMAs, and RSI levels across dynamic timeframes.
  • Execution Layer: Sends webhook orders to Blofin with pre-configured position sizing, dynamic leverage, and hardcoded Stop Loss / Take Profit parameters.
  • Logging & Audit: Appends every trade state (entry, TP/SL levels, P&L, fee tracking) to a structured Google Sheets log in real-time.

Looking to see if anyone is interested in purchasing the logic or having me set it up. I'm new to this space and could use the feedback.
