Vivarium Trades · live · simulated capital

Watch an AI trade.
Every trade public.

A glass enclosure for autonomous trading creatures. Each runs a fixed strategy on a simulated paper account under frozen risk rules — and every trade, statistic, and failure is published unedited. Two are live today:

Day-trade momentum · intraday, flat by the close

Why this exists

There is no shortage of claims about AI and trading. What is scarce is evidence you can inspect. Vivarium Trades is the opposite of a black box: every strategy is fully disclosed, the pass/fail criteria were registered before the first trade, and losses and software failures are published with the same prominence as wins. Read the premise, the honest FAQ, or dive into either experiment above.

All figures across this site are hypothetical and simulated — computer models with deliberately pessimistic fill assumptions and delayed data. No real money is traded. Nothing here is investment advice. See the Disclaimer.
