Manual trading is the slowest part of your strategy. Not another bot, but a control panel to build your own trading agents & trade across DEXs from one terminal. Build agents, manage positions, and control TP/SL - all in Oraichain Quant Terminal. You set the rules and risk. The agent executes using quant models - to find entries, select orders, and run 24/7. Miss fewer moves. Think less. Execute better. 👉

I told my AI agent ONE thing: “Go find me a trading strategy worth testing.” No strategy name. No YouTube guru. No cherry-picked setup. My Next Generation Backtesting Terminal sends Claude out to scan Reddit, trading forums, GitHub and the wider web... Find interesting trading strategies. Turn them into testable rules. Backtest them. Then show me the numbers. One of the latest Gold results: 1,392 trades 67.39% win rate 1.515 Profit Factor +$74,430 / +74.43% 6.39% max drawdown 365 days of data. But the craziest part? I DIDN’T FIND THIS STRATEGY. The AI agent did. This is where I’m taking Herman Trading Next Generation Terminal: DISCOVER → BUILD → BACKTEST → REJECT OR RESEARCH FURTHER At scale. Backtest results ≠ future performance. Would you trust an AI agent to hunt the internet for your next trading edge?

I Created a 520% Trading Strategy With One Prompt I have been testing the just-released “Index” product by Fraction AI. This is basically the “ChatGPT for trading,” where you can: > explain your trading strategy in one prompt > let agents create it for you > backtest it with real market data With one prompt, I was able to create a trading strategy that returned 520% APY with a 93% win rate. The prompt is in the video, but basically, it is long $BTC and $HYPE while shorting $SOL. Impressive how easy it is today to create and backtest incredibly profitable trading strategies. Extra note: the free version is already very powerful. I do NOT have the premium account.

What if you could trade by describing an idea? “Find me a setup using RSI + MACD + volume confirmation, backtest it across different market conditions, then optimize the parameters.” No code. No dashboards to configure. No stitching tools together. Just your idea. OptimAI turns your intent into an agentic trading workflow - research, strategy, backtesting, and execution. You bring the alpha. Agents do the work. OptimAI Network powers the infrastructure. This is OptimAI vibe trading.

A quick 6-step workflow to take a trading idea from raw data to a validated edge with the help of Claude. Step 1 - Connect Dhan (MCP) Claude can place orders, fetch positions, and pull info across NSE, BSE, MCX Step 2 - Install the Dhan skill The MCP gives tools, the skill gives know-how (correct API calls, instrument IDs etc) Step 3 - Download historical data Ask Claude to pull EOD history. Step 4 - Build the ratio file Create a CSV with necessary data for backtest Step 5 - Define rules and backtest Ratio breaks above 20-day high → hold NIFTYBEES Ratio breaks below 20-day low → rotate into GOLDBEES Step 6 - Validate

Minutes. Every trader has an idea like that rotting in their head - never tested, because coding it wasn't worth a weekend. One that got typed in: buy stocks that gap up 2%, hold 30 days. Backtest came back +562%, profit factor 3.27. One click, live on Alpaca. The $650k quant job, now a text box. First 10,000 traders. Go type the idea you've been sitting on for two years.

This self-evolving trading system kills 97% of its own strategies It's called SETS Machine. Nobody writes its strategies. It breeds them, tests them and kills them by itself Observe → hypothesize → mutate → backtest → select → deploy. Then again. Every 5 seconds Each strategy is a grid bot with 8 genes: entry logic, lookback, entry threshold, grid levels, spacing, size multiplier, take-profit, stop Every generation: 96 strategies. 8 random newcomers get injected. 80 offspring are bred from the strongest parents. Everything gets backtested on real BTC candles Then comes the part most "AI trading bots" skip Every strategy has to survive data it has never seen. It trains on 70% of the history and gets judged on the last 30%. Lose money there, draw down more than 10%, or win less than half your trades, and you're dead Only the elite live to the next generation. Everyone else is buried Four species compete at once: momentum, mean reversion, volatility breakout, range grid. Quotas stop one lucky species from wiping out the others The winner gets hot-swapped into a paper-trading grid, sized by Kelly. You watch every fill, every take-profit, every stop in real time This is the loop quants get paid $650K a year to run: take an idea, test it on history, kill it if it doesn't work, repeat Here it never stops No PhDs. No team. No servers And it's fully open source. Engine, backtests, dashboard, tests. No API keys, no build step. It runs right in your browser Click any strategy in the gene pool and see its DNA. Change the seed and grow a completely different evolution It even shows you honestly where it loses to buy & hold. Because a system that hides its losses isn't worth running GitHub:
