He gave the AI $10,000 to trade, and it is up 11% at day 69

Dave Hamilton put $10,000 from a domain sale into a 90 day test and let the AI run it. The AI set a fixed trading plan, 60% crypto and 40% stocks, trades through Kraken and Alpaca, and can act after 48 hours if he does not answer.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. The AI designs a fixed trading plan
  2. The system trades through MCP connectors into Kraken and Alpaca
  3. He checks in lightly each week
  4. A full strategy review sits at day 45
  5. At day 69 the account is up 11%, including cutting a stock that was down 25%

Why it’s worth knowing

The system cut a stock that was down 25% on its own, with no waiting for it to come back.
