AI Bot Race
Sixteen trading bots, $1,000 of paper money each, real market prices, live on YouTube around the clock: Claude itself trading, an AI council, seven of our own bots for futures, options, stocks, forex, Solana, pump.fun and the weather, and six famous crypto bot strategies, measured against the S&P 500.

The racers
- Claude Trader (AI model): Claude Opus 5.5 reads the news every hour and picks its own trades in stocks and ETFs, forex and crypto, long or short. Our code only sets the risk limits: at most 5 positions, 20% per position, 10% kept in cash, and a stop-loss on every position.
- AI Council (AI model): six AI agents (Scout, News, Sentiment, Charts, Skeptic and a Chief who decides) debate crypto trades on Binance prices.
Our seven bots were all coded by Claude, Anthropic's AI.
- Futures Bot: Bitcoin and Ether perpetual futures on Binance prices. Follows the trend, skips crowded trades when funding is high, max 3x leverage, a stop on every trade, fees and funding charged.
- Options Bot: Bitcoin options on Deribit prices. One weekly call or put spread in the trend direction: the most it can lose is what it paid. Marked to the live price, settled at expiry.
- ORB Stocks: opening-range breakout on SPY and QQQ. Waits for the first 15 minutes of the US session, trades the breakout once per day, stop at the other side of the range, flat by the close.
- Forex Bot: EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/ZAR. Buys dips in an uptrend and sells rallies in a downtrend, with a stop, a target twice as far away and the spread charged on every trade.
- Weather Bot: trades Kalshi daily high-temperature markets with the US weather service forecast and live readings.
- SOL Dip Buyer: aggressive mode: buys Solana dips and sells a +1% bounce, up to 4 buys, using Jupiter prices.
- Pump.fun Sniper: buys brand-new Solana memecoins only once they prove themselves (10+ minutes old, $25k+ market cap, rising 2 minutes in a row, creator with 10 or fewer launches). Sells half at 2x, half the rest at 4x, or leaves after 5 minutes.
Famous bot strategies (crypto): Grid Bot (BTC steps 0.5% apart), DCA Bot (ETH, buys every 2% dip), Turtle Bot (15-minute breakouts), Trend Rider (above its 50-hour average), Pairs Bot (BTC vs ETH gap) and RSI Bot (buys oversold, sells overbought). Plus the S&P 500 as the yardstick: $1,000 in the index from the race start. Every bot has to beat it, just like fund managers.
