Live AI Trading Bot Testing Results: Session Archive

Editorial illustration of an open research log on a wooden desk with magnifying lens and pen — representing our live AI trading bot testing archive

Quick Answer

AITradingBotReview maintains a public archive of every live trading bot test we run with real money. Each session entry shows the bot, exchange, starting capital, current equity, closed P&L, floating P&L, and max drawdown — with timestamped exchange dashboard screenshots as evidence. Our active session is Session #001: CoinTech2u on OKX, $5,000 USDT, started March 7, 2026, running indefinitely. As of May 3, 2026 (57 days), the account stands at +$497.75 USDT net return ($609.21 closed profit minus $111.46 floating loss, plus $250 transferred to funding via Profit Guard). Maximum drawdown during the test was −$83.32 USDT on March 29, 2026 — about 1.67% of starting capital.

How This Archive Works

Every bot rating on this site is backed by a session in this archive. We do not publish a rating without a real test, and we do not run a real test without committing to publish whatever it produces — including losses, drawdowns, and floating positions that look bad. The archive is the audit trail.

Each session has its own entry below with the same fields: bot, exchange, capital, dates, current performance, drawdown, and screenshots. We use a single CoinTech2u sub-account per session so the test data stays isolated from any other activity. Sub-account names and partial UIDs are public so readers can verify our test accounts are real, segregated wallets — not aggregated portfolio claims.

For the rules behind these tests — minimum duration, capital, metrics tracked, evidence standards, rating formula — see our Methodology page. This page is the data; the methodology page is the protocol.

A session that turns negative is more valuable to readers than a session quietly removed from the archive.

How to read these numbers: The 100.00% win rate counts only closed trades. 22 positions remain open with −$111.46 USDT unrealized loss — those positions are not yet in the win rate denominator. The bot's strategy holds losing positions open while taking profit on winning ones, which is why floating losses can persist for weeks while closed-trade win rate stays high. Both numbers must be read together. Max drawdown of −$83.32 USDT (~1.67% of starting capital) is the worst equity dip experienced during the session — useful as a stress measure independent of current state.

OKX Performance Stats (Futures, all-time). 926 closed positions, +$609.20 total profit, 100% win rate, average hold time 1 day 5 hours. The +24.73% average PnL% is calculated per-trade against position margin — it is not the account return. Average PnL per trade is +$0.66 USDT.

Floating Positions Detail

22 open positions across multiple symbols (ZRO, CHZ, SAND, FIL and others). Each position has a floating loss visible in the Floating PnL column. Total floating PnL: −$111.46 USDT. This is the side of the bot's hedge currently against the market — these positions will close in profit when the market reverses, which is the design assumption of the dual-direction approach. Until they do, the loss sits on the books.

Maximum Drawdown — March 29, 2026

Lowest equity point during the session: $4,916.68 USDT on March 29, 2026 — about 22 days into the test. This represents a maximum drawdown of −$83.32 USDT, or 1.67% of starting capital. The dip occurred during the bearish March phase. From this low, equity has recovered through April's sideways-to-bullish conditions and May's continued strength.

Profit Guard — Realized Profit Transfer

OKX funding account showing 250 USDT received from trading account on April 29 2026 — automatic Profit Guard transfer triggered at 5 percent equity growth threshold

On April 29, 2026, this account's Profit Guard threshold triggered. Profit Guard is a CoinTech2u feature that, when configured, automatically transfers a fixed amount from the trading account to the funding wallet each time realized profits exceed a set equity-growth threshold. This account is configured to move $250 USDT to funding on every 5% equity growth. The transfer isolates locked profits from active trading risk — once $250 sits in funding, it cannot be drawn down by future market moves on the trading side. The $250 is included in our session net return calculation but no longer participates in trading.

Monthly Trading Calendars

OKX provides a per-month trading calendar showing daily closed P&L and closed position count. These give a direct visual of how performance varied across the three market regimes during this session.

March 2026 — Bearish phase
OKX trading calendar for March 2026 showing daily closed PnL totaling +280.16 USDT with 100 percent win rate during the bearish phase of bitcoin price action

March (24 days bot ran): +$280.16 USDT total closed P&L. The session started March 7. BTC was in a bearish phase during this window — short positions closed in profit while long positions accumulated as floating exposure (driving the March 29 drawdown).

April 2026 — Sideways to bullish
OKX trading calendar for April 2026 showing daily closed PnL totaling +317.41 USDT with 100 percent win rate during the sideways to bullish phase

April: +$317.41 USDT total closed P&L — the strongest month of the session so far. Sideways price action allowed both sides of the hedge to take profits on pullbacks, and the late-April uptrend helped the long side dominate. This is the regime the bot's strategy is best matched to.

May 2026 — Continued bullish

May 1–3: +$11.62 USDT closed. Session continues running through the bullish phase.

What 57 Days Taught Us

The first three weeks of this session ran through bearish conditions. As BTC declined through March, short positions closed in profit while long positions accumulated as open exposure — driving floating P&L into negative territory and producing our worst equity dip at $4,916.68 on March 29, a $83.32 drawdown from the $5,000 starting capital. April flipped the tape: sideways price action with frequent pullbacks let the long positions take profit on upward swings, and both sides of the hedge contributed to closed gains. By late April, BTC began trending up, the long side dominated profits, and Profit Guard triggered its first $250 transfer on April 29.

The pattern across 57 days is that markets did not stay in one direction for long. Bearish weeks gave way to sideways weeks gave way to bullish weeks. A discretionary trader who positioned for any one of these regimes would have been wrong about the next one — and would have spent the entire window watching the screen to find out which way it had shifted.

The bot is not predicting which regime is next. It runs both sides of the hedge continuously, takes small profits as they appear, and absorbs floating losses on the side currently against the market. That is a mechanical edge, not a forecasting edge — and the result over 57 days is that the account moved from $5,000 to $5,497.35 (plus $250 isolated in funding) without any human discretion required. Whether that mechanical edge holds during a more violent regime — a multi-week one-directional crash, or a flash-crash event — is the question the next phase of testing has to answer.

The bot is not predicting which regime is next. It runs both sides of the hedge continuously, takes small profits as they appear, and absorbs floating losses on the side currently against the market.

Upcoming Sessions

Sessions scheduled but not yet started, or in early phases not yet documented here.

Session #002

CoinTech2u on OKX — $10,000 / 3-portfolio split

● In Progress

Started May 2026 with a different capital structure — $10,000 split across three sub-portfolios to test how the bot's allocation behaves at higher capital and with parallel configurations. Documented progressively on YouTube. Full session entry will be added to this archive once first 30 days of data is available.

Session #003

CoinTech2u on Bitget

● Scheduled

Expected start approximately one month after Session #002 baseline is established. Tests bot performance on a different exchange with different liquidity, fee structure, and API behavior. We will not publish a Bitget-specific bot review until at least 30 days of live data on this session.

Session #004

CoinTech2u on Bybit

● Scheduled

Sequenced after Session #003 baseline. Same protocol applied to Bybit's exchange environment.

How to Verify These Results Yourself

You cannot directly verify the dollar amounts in our specific sub-account — those numbers belong to the editorial team's test wallet. What you can verify is everything around them: the bot exists, it operates as we describe, the exchange dashboard shows the metrics we cite, and the strategy behaves the way we observe.

Run a parallel test on your own account

Sign up for OKX through our affiliate link (referral code KEN20 — gives you 20% trading fee cashback) and run CoinTech2u through your own sub-account. Your results will not match ours exactly because position sizing varies with account size and the bot enters at different prices, but the structural behavior — closed wins, floating losses, rebalancing, fee model, Profit Guard — will be observable on your end. Account links are in our CoinTech2u review and OKX review.

Cross-reference our screenshots against OKX UI

The screenshots above are unmodified OKX dashboard views. The Trading Calendar tab, Performance Stats panel, Floating PnL on Open Positions, and Funding Account history are all standard OKX features that any user can access on their own account. If our screenshots showed a layout, metric, or number format that does not exist on OKX, that would be a red flag — feel free to compare.

Live YouTube exchange dashboard streams

Once we set up the live broadcasting workflow, we plan to stream periodic OKX dashboard sessions on our YouTube channel @TraderAgentClub so you can watch the dashboard update in real time. We will link those sessions here as they happen.

Limitations of This Archive

Things this archive does not prove, and that we want to be explicit about:

  • It does not prove the bot will work for everyone. Our sub-account configuration may differ from yours. Capital size affects position sizing. Different exchange jurisdictions have different fee structures.
  • It does not predict future performance. 57 days of data does not span every possible market regime. A multi-week one-directional crash or a flash-crash event is not yet in this dataset.
  • Floating losses can persist longer than expected. We have $111.46 currently floating against us across 22 positions. If the market continues against those positions, the floating loss can grow before it closes.
  • Other users' results are not in this archive. Anecdotal claims of larger profits or losses on social media are not part of our test. We test our own accounts.

Methodology & Disclosure

Every bot in this archive is rated according to the protocol on our Methodology page. Affiliate disclosure: this site earns commissions when readers sign up for products through our links (OKX, CoinTech2u, Bitget, Bybit, all using referral code KEN20). Members of our editorial team have professional relationships within the crypto trading bot industry, including consulting and advisory roles, which we disclose in full on our methodology page. We mitigate these potential conflicts by publishing methodology, showing floating losses alongside profits, linking to independent third-party criticisms, and maintaining ratings even when they sit below industry hype levels.
