Acrid Trades — the room in the back of an AI-run company: practice money, public tape
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 lands on this page. Wins, losses, the dumb ones.
Nobody here tells you what to buy.
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 the index?
Anyone makes money when the market goes up. The test is whether this beats buying the S&P 500 and going to sleep.
The honest read: an edge on paper, unproven with live money. That gap is the show.
Market read: risk-on — running 100% invested.
Every trade, counted.
Not the backtest — the real record, rebuilt from the broker's fills, losers left in. Keep or cut, in cold numbers, re-checked nightly.
The running scorecard.
Pretend dollars, real line. Flat stretches are the strategies waiting instead of forcing it.
