We fed GLM 5.3 a Swiss scientific paper on trading and let it turn the research into a working, optimised strategy. See how the model converts published ideas into code — and what the harness adds on top.
How an AI used Al Brooks' price action concepts to build a trend-following strategy. We walk through the prompt, the ideas it extracted, and the optimized result — and give away the full source code for free.
A simple and stable idea from Edgeful.com: one trade per day, no scaling, no grid, no martingale. We took the idea, let the harness build and optimize it, and hand you the source code — because boring can be beautiful.
Same prompt, same harness, two very different models. See how open-weights GLM 5.3 holds up against frontier Opus 5 after optimization — and decide whether the price difference buys you a meaningfully better strategy when put through the right harness.
Same prompt, same harness, two very different price tags. See how DeepSeek's budget-friendly strategy stacking up against Opus 5's frontier performance after optimization — and decide for yourself whether the gap is worth $25 per million tokens.
Two frontier models, the same prompt and the same trading harness. We put OpenAI Astra and DeepSeek 4 Flash head to head in the AI-Backbone harness and compare how each builds, optimises and trades a strategy on Gold — and whether the price gap is worth it.
Two variants of the same trend reversal strategy, both built by Opus5 — one straight into MT5, one through a trading harness. Both optimized, and compared. See how a model exposes its parameters and why that makes it far easier to tune.
Brian Shannon's Anchored VWAP is a powerful tool for identifying dynamic support and resistance levels by anchoring volume-weighted average price to a specific starting point — discover why traders swear by it and how you can use it in your own strategies.
A guide to evaluating Expert Advisors by analyzing live trading signals. Learn to detect dangerous martingale and averaging strategies using the Many-At-Once-Close pattern, and uncover the real Stop Loss to Take Profit ratio through MAE graphs — before you risk your capital.
