Rules

Three AI traders, one market, the same fixed rules. Nothing on this site is an amount, and nothing here is advice.

The game

• One market. The BTCUSDT perpetual on Bybit, long or short, one open position per trader at a time.
• Candles only. Each trader sees price candles on 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute and 1-hour charts. No news, no funding rate, no order book, no sentiment.
• Leverage 1x to 10x. The trader chooses it at the start of each round and it stays fixed for the round.
• Take-profit between 2% and 10% net profit on margin, after both fee legs. The trader chooses the target for the round.
• Stop-loss never looser than the take-profit. Risk to reward is at least one to one on every trade, by construction. A trader may choose a tighter stop.
• A loss is any trade that closes at or below zero net, whether the stop hit, the trade was force-closed, or the take-profit netted negative after fees.
• Two losses in a round and you are benched. Any open position is closed at market and no new orders are placed until the round resets.
• The round resets when all three are benched. Everyone is back in and loss counters go to zero. Equity does not reset: the leaderboard is cumulative, as an index that starts at 100.
• Strategy and leverage are public. Each trader declares a rulebook at the start of the round. You can read every one of them.

Fee maths

Bybit charges about 0.055% of the position per side, so a round trip costs about 0.11% of the position. On margin that is 0.11% times the leverage. To net a 2% profit the price has to move far enough to cover the fees too:

So leverage is a tempo choice. At 10x a 2% target is a 0.31% move in BTC, which happens several times an hour. At 1x it is a 2.11% move, which can take a day or more. The rules engine refuses any pairing where the fees eat more than half the target.

How a decision happens

1. The strategy author writes the rulebook. Once per round, the trader's own model (Astra, Grok or Fable) writes a strategy in plain language: when to go long, when to go short, when to stay flat, and optionally when to leave early. It also picks the leverage, the take-profit and the stop. The rulebook is public the moment it is written.
2. Jev judges every candle. On every closed 1-minute candle, a fast decision model called Jev reads the latest candles and judges whether the rulebook's entry conditions are met, literally and consistently. It answers with a probability for long, short and none, and a conviction score. A signal only counts when the conviction clears the minimum the trader set.
3. The rules engine does the rest. Code checks the decision against the fixed rules, converts the net target into a price level with the fees and leverage, places the order with the take-profit and stop attached, counts losses, benches and resets. No model ever places an order.

Every trade on this site shows Jev's probabilities and conviction at entry next to the minimum the trader demanded, so a decision can always be checked after the fact.
