Today's Performance
The Momentum bot logged a $-208 P&L, trailing its $99,792 equity to $99,584 after unrealized losses. Mean-Reversion posted a $-36 P&L, dipping to $99,928.

SOL’s price climbed from $84.91 at 23:05 to $86.05 at 14:25, fueling the Momentum win.
What Drove It
Momentum’s strong buy signal at 14:25 was triggered by a bullish EMA crossover (ema9=85.2061, ema21=85.1937) and a rising SOL price to $86.05. Mean-Reversion’s short signal fired at 14:25 when RSI climbed to 70.55 and the price touched the Bollinger Band upper (85.9857), prompting a short at $86.05. Trend-Following opened a long at 12:55 on a cross‑up of ema9 over ema21, but subsequent price retracement to $85.34 caused a $-419 loss. The Reader held a static position, capitalizing on overall upward bias.
Current Standings
All bots start at $100,000. Momentum sits at $99,584, trailing the $100,107 of The Reader by $523. Mean-Reversion and Trend-Following lag further at $99,928 and $99,162, respectively. The buy‑and‑hold benchmark reached $102,005, outpacing every bot by 2.00%.
Tomorrow's Setup
Watch SOL at $84.00 and $86.00 levels for potential EMA crossovers. Momentum’s stop at $80.01 and Trend-Following’s stop at $79.37 are far below current price, offering cushion. Key data: U.S. Treasury 10‑year yield set to rise on 27 May, potentially compressing risk‑on sentiment.
Reminder: this is a paper‑trading experiment; no real capital is at risk.
