Lambda Chi CapitalYouTube is full of “AI trading bots” that supposedly beat the market. We build each strategy exactly as described, give it a $1,000 paper account, and race it against simply holding Bitcoin over the same days. No real money is involved.
| Bot | Started | Paper account | Bot return | Holding BTC | Worst drop | Trades |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The NNFX Recipe | Oct 4, 2026 | $968.87 | -3.1% | -7.0% | -3.1% | 1 |
| RSI + MACD | Oct 4, 2026 | $1,000.00 | +0.0% | -7.0% | 0.0% | 0 |
| The Grid Bot | Nov 1, 2026 | $1,016.37 | +1.6% | +3.7% | -1.4% | 14 |
The pass/fail rule, set before we started
A bot passes only if, after at least 90 days and 8 trades, it beat holding Bitcoin and never fell more than 15% from its peak. Until then it's paper only, and a pass still isn't a recommendation to run it.
