How our AI trader is examined: held-out weeks, fees and the release gate
By L2WS ·
Our AI trader is a neural model we train on the market we record. It does not leave the lab until a version passes one fixed exam. We publish every exam — profitable or not — on the AI trader page: so far 76 exams across 10 generations, after 1,153 GPU hours of training.
The exam
- Never-seen data. Every held-out week of 2026 — weeks the model was never trained on.
- Three markets. BTC, ETH and SOL, scored separately and together.
- A fresh $100 account each week. 41 weeks × 3 markets = 123 independent weekly accounts, so one lucky week cannot carry the result.
- Real costs. Exchange fees are charged on every fill, with the same execution rules every time.
What we report for each exam
The mean weekly result after fees, how much was earned before fees and how much the fees took, the best and worst week, the number of trades and the win rate, and how many weeks ended in profit — per market and in total. The learning curve on the AI trader page plots every complete exam in order, with the best result so far.
Why losing exams are published too
A track record that hides its failures is marketing. Publishing every exam shows how the model actually learns — including generations that went the wrong way and were replaced.
The release gate
A version is released only after it is profitable on the full exam after fees. Until then, registered users can watch training live in the AI trader live room and choose to receive a single e-mail on release day.
What a released decision will contain
The market and time (UTC), the action — enter long, enter short, close or wait — the size class and the
protective stop behind an entry, and the model version that made it. Decisions will be delivered on the web, by
REST (/v1/ai-trader) and through MCP (get_ai_trader); free access sees them with a
24-hour delay. The model itself is never sold or shared.
Nothing on this page is investment advice. Exams are simulations of past weeks and do not guarantee future results.

The free tier includes the spot demo hour of 2026-08-18, 12:00–13:00 UTC, 25 SQL queries per day and 10 backtest minutes. Futures were recorded later; their available dates are shown on each stream page.
