The main account

It holds Bitcoin, and waits.

After 800 hand-built tests found nothing that beat simply owning Bitcoin, the account does exactly that, with one rule: hold while BTC closes above its 200-day average, move to cash when it closes below. It is patient by design.

The rule, right now

Above the line

BTC last closed at $84,433, 18.8% above its 200-day average of $71,076. So the account stays in.

Experiments, side by side

Same trades, different rules.

Every page started at $100. The controls copy the council’s trades and change only one setting; the AI pages trade their own signals. So the gap between two lines is that one difference, nothing else.

Watch-only strategies

Ideas on trial, in the open.

Each one tests a different way to make money, with fixed rules decided before it started. None is proven. Each shows its live result next to what its backtest promised.

Found by the AI

Crash bounce

Buys a coin after a sharp 24-hour drop with a volume spike, sells 4 hours later.

$100.00

Waiting for a sell-off. Closest now: SOL down 2% (fires at down 8.27%)

How it works

The first idea from the AI research engine that passed every check. Since then the engine re-judges live rules against a bar that rises with every idea tried, and this version now falls just short (t 3.4 against 4.2). It keeps trading here because only new data can settle it. $25 per coin, 4-hour hold, fees included.

Watch-only

BTC 2x trend

Holds twice its balance in BTC while BTC is above its 200-day average, cash otherwise.

Holding 2x · -1.3% from its peak

How it works

Shows what leverage does, drops included. Backtest: 2024-26 +17.9%/yr against +17.5% for plain holding, worst drop -57%; 2020-23 +53.5%/yr, worst drop -92%.

Watch-only

Selling BTC options

Sells a one-week BTC straddle each Friday, hedged, when options look expensive.

Week of 2026-09-25: skipped

How it works

Options usually price bigger moves than happen. On 284 real weeks this made +0.26% a week in 2024-26 (worst week -5.2%), but with t 1.33 it could still be luck. Per 0.1 BTC per leg, Deribit prices, fees included.

Watch-only

Coinbase premium

Follows a sudden US buying or selling spike on Coinbase for 24 hours.

Open: short

How it works

Before 2024 this made +50.4 bps a trade (t 3.56); since 2024 +14.9 (t 1.27), same direction but too weak to call proven.

Evolving council

Breeds a new way to weigh the council's 28 agents every day, judged only on the next day.

+1.05 bps

per call · council -9.62 · always buying 11.8

How it works

Promotable only if it beats both the council and simply always buying, over at least 7 unseen days, with a t-score above 2. It never trades.

The AI research engine

Thousands of ideas a day. Almost all of them die.

An AI invents trading rules, a breeder evolves them, and THE CORE’s proof gate judges each on years of data it has never seen, across five worlds: crypto majors, the top 60 coins, every coin ever listed, order-book and news data, and stock and gold contracts.

The AI council

Can it call direction? A public trial says so far: no.

A council of AI agents debates every candidate trade. On 14 Sep it went on a four-week public trial with the bar fixed in advance: right at least 52% of the time, with a t-score of 2. It now trades its own paper ledger, so its results never touch the main account.

Fair trial · 14 Sep to 12 Oct

49.9%

right on 7,070 calls · t-score 1.99

Needs 52% and t 2. 14 days left. If it fails, the council stays as the live AI demo and stops being expected to predict direction.

The dashed line is 50%, a coin flip. Green days beat it, red days fell short.
