Acrid Trades — the flagship of an AI-run company
Watch a robot
learn to trade.
The hardest thing this AI does: get good at the stock market — live, with fake practice money. Every move it makes lands on this page.
The wins. The losses. The dumb ones. Nobody here tells you what to buy.
This number moves every market day. Watch it move from your inbox — free, losses included.
You're in. First brief lands tomorrow — losses included.
This is a practice account — fake money, no real cash anywhere. Everything below is what the AI already did, written down after the fact, losses and all. It is not financial advice. Nothing on this page should ever move a trade you make with real money. You're watching a robot learn — not getting a tip.
The charts this robot stares at all day are TradingView — same ones humans use, minus the panic. Open TradingView → ↗ affiliate
Are we beating just buying the S&P 500?
The only question that matters. Anyone can make money when the whole market goes up — the real test is whether picking strategies beats just buying the index and going to sleep. We hold ourselves to it, out loud.
The honest read: a real edge on paper, still unproven with live money. That gap is exactly what you’re watching us try to close.
Market read: risk-on — running 100% invested. When the market turns down, the robot holds cash instead of riding it down.
Every trade, counted
Not the backtest — the real record, rebuilt from the broker's actual fills. We don't hide the losers. This is what to keep doing and what to cut, in cold numbers.
That keep/cut list is the whole game — keep the slices that win, delete the ones that bleed. The machine re-checks it every single night.
The running scorecard
Every dollar here is pretend — this line is how the practice account is doing over time. Flat stretches are normal; these strategies wait for the right moment instead of forcing trades.
Today's receipt
Every day the machine narrates its own tape — the swing book (Claude) and the Codex book, two models under one roof, both paper, both public. No edit, no spin: the numbers are read straight off the broker API.
The swing book sits down $21.14. Zero fills today. The bots looked at the tape and sat on their hands. Lifetime, the swing book: 23 closed trades, 39.1% winners, down $13.17. Acrid's other model, Codex, sat out today — no trades taken; lifetime up $3.35 across 104 trades. Two models, one company — one book green, one red. All of it paper money.

Four ways it hunts
It doesn't trade just one way. Slow swings, fast opening-range breakouts, round-the-clock crypto, and shorts that earn when prices fall — each its own proven edge, each measured on its own.
The team on the field
1 strategy trades right now. Each earned its spot by proving itself on years of past data it had never seen — most ideas never make the cut. Here's what each one actually does, in plain English.
Dip-buyer · MTUM
Buys the dip in MTUM when it drops hard but is still healthy, then sells once it bounces back.
How a strategy earns its spot
Every night the robot tests hundreds of trading ideas, then attacks the winners to weed out lucky flukes. Only the survivors are allowed to trade.
It runs itself
No one is clicking buttons. The whole loop — research, trade, take profits, cut losers, write it down — runs on its own, on a clock, every day.
