The main account
It holds Bitcoin, and waits.
After 800 hand-built tests found nothing that beat simply owning Bitcoin, the account does exactly that, with one rule: hold while BTC closes above its 200-day average, move to cash when it closes below. It is patient by design.

The rule, right now
Above the line
BTC last closed at $84,050, 15.5% above its 200-day average of $72,740. So the account stays in.
Experiments, side by side
Same trades, different rules.
Every page started at $100. The controls copy the council’s trades and change only one setting; the AI pages trade their own signals. So the gap between two lines is that one difference, nothing else.

Watch-only strategies
Ideas on trial, in the open.
Each one tests a different way to make money, with fixed rules decided before it started. None is proven. Each shows its live result next to what its backtest promised.
Crash bounce
Buys a coin after a sharp 24-hour drop with a volume spike, sells 4 hours later.
$101.07
5 live trades, 4 won
How it works
The first idea from the AI research engine that passed every check. Since then the engine re-judges live rules against a bar that rises with every idea tried, and this version now falls just short (t 3.4 against 4.2). It keeps trading here because only new data can settle it. $25 per coin, 4-hour hold, fees included.
BTC 2x trend
Holds twice its balance in BTC while BTC is above its 200-day average, cash otherwise.
$95.56
Holding 2x · -9.3% from its peak
How it works
Shows what leverage does, drops included. Backtest: 2024-26 +17.9%/yr against +17.5% for plain holding, worst drop -57%; 2020-23 +53.5%/yr, worst drop -92%.
Selling BTC options
Sells a one-week BTC straddle each Friday, hedged, when options look expensive.
+$62.79
Week of 2026-10-16: skipped
How it works
Options usually price bigger moves than happen. On 284 real weeks this made +0.26% a week in 2024-26 (worst week -5.2%), but with t 1.33 it could still be luck. Per 0.1 BTC per leg, Deribit prices, fees included.
Coinbase premium
Follows a sudden US buying or selling spike on Coinbase for 24 hours.
$95.33
Open: long
How it works
Before 2024 this made +50.4 bps a trade (t 3.56); since 2024 +14.9 (t 1.27), same direction but too weak to call proven.
Evolving council
Breeds a new way to weigh the council's 28 agents every day, judged only on the next day.
-4.22 bps
per call · council -10.04 · always buying -5.98
How it works
Promotable only if it beats both the council and simply always buying, over at least 7 unseen days, with a t-score above 2. It never trades.
The AI research engine
Thousands of ideas a day. Almost all of them die.
An AI invents trading rules, a breeder evolves them, and THE CORE’s proof gate judges each on years of data it has never seen, across five worlds: crypto majors, the top 60 coins, every coin ever listed, order-book and news data, and stock and gold contracts.

The AI council
Can it call direction? A public trial says so far: no.
A council of AI agents debates every candidate trade. On 14 Sep it went on a four-week public trial with the bar fixed in advance: right at least 52% of the time, with a t-score of 2. It now trades its own paper ledger, so its results never touch the main account.
Fair trial · 14 Sep to 12 Oct
49.5%
right on 12,046 calls · t-score 0.81
Needs 52% and t 2. Verdict: FAIL. If it fails, the council stays as the live AI demo and stops being expected to predict direction.

The dashed line is 50%, a coin flip. Green days beat it, red days fell short.
