Claude Trading Bot Results: A Live Review of All 5 Claude Bots

Updated 2026-09-30

Claude writes the trading rules for 5 bots on this site. Each follows a different brief. Here is each one's live record, as of the Sep 29, 2026 close.

The highest-ranked since start is Patience · Claude, #2 of 22. It is +24.7% on paper from Jul 27, 2026 to the Sep 29, 2026 close. The S&P 500 did +3.4% over the same dates.

Claude Opus 5.5 has proposed the rewrites for all 5 since Sep 28, 2026. Before that it was Sonnet 5 for 4 of them and Fable 5 for Tactical · Claude. So most of each record was written by an earlier Claude model. A rewrite replaces the rules a bot trades only when it beats them in testing.

About 20 bots trade in public on this site, each on its own $100,000 paper account, on real prices. Super Bot learns from all of them.

What this does and doesn't show

• Practice money. Paper accounts, real prices. Nobody earned these figures, and they are before trading costs.
• Short windows flatter or punish. 2 of these 5 started this month. A few good or bad weeks can swing a short record either way.
• The market's mood. The S&P 500 rose 5.3% from the Jul 24 close to its Aug 13 high, then chopped sideways (at worst 3.1% below that high) and ended Sep 29 1.8% below it. Our market-weather reading for Sep 29 was "choppy". Bots that started in late July caught the climb. September starters did not.
• The AI matters, and so does the brief. The same "Patience" brief runs under 4 AIs. On paper, to the Sep 29 close: Patience · Grok +43.9% since Jul 28 (S&P 500 +3.4%); Patience · Claude +24.7% since Jul 27 (S&P 500 +3.4%); Patience · ChatGPT +15.8% since Jul 27 (S&P 500 +3.4%); Patience · Gemini +2.2% since Aug 4 (S&P 500 +0.9%). Tactical, a second shared brief, runs from +7.8% (Tactical · Grok) to −1.5% (Tactical · Gemini) on paper since Aug 7, against −0.6% for the S&P 500.
