AI Summary
Summary
Post describes a paper trading system using 14 AI agents that autonomously managed two winners (ARM and AMD) with trailing stops, yielding +$3,245 on $100k in 48 days.
Author plans to deploy $1,000 real capital on June 13, claiming full autonomy for 30 days without manual intervention.
Quality assessment: This is speculative noise lacking backtesting or rigorous methodology; a single short-term paper trading run is not sufficient evidence.

Been running a paper trading desk with 14 AI agents since March. Scanner runs every morning, CrewAI handles the logic, trailing stops execute exits automatically.
Two big winners:
ARM — entered $210, trailing stop walked to $254, exited automatically — +$2,048
AMD — entered $420, trailing stop walked to $496, exited automatically — +$1,741
Total across 48 days: +$3,245 on $100,000 paper capital. Portfolio at $103,414.
Underperforming the S&P on raw percentage but the system is fully autonomous. I have not manually touched a trade in 30 days.
June 13 — $1,000 real money goes in. Full stack runs on local hardware for $8/month total.
