I gave Jev $10,000 and let it trade BTC again.
But this time, I gave it everything a trader would look at:
market data, derivatives, macro, on-chain data, news and sentiment.
30 days
Every hour, Jev got a fresh view of the market.
From 1m to 1d price action, plus:
RSI
MACD
EMA
ATR
VWAP
support / resistance
swing structure
It also saw derivatives data:
funding rate
open interest
long / short positioning
taker buy / sell flow
So it wasn’t just looking at candles
Then I added macro data:
Fed funds rate
2Y / 10Y yields
yield curve
DXY
Fed balance sheet
Plus cross-market and on-chain data like:
ETH/BTC
futures basis
stablecoin supply
hashrate
block fees
And finally:
news headlines
Fear & Greed
Wikipedia attention
Basically give Jev as much relevant context as possible before every decision!
Jev never saw the future!
Every input was timestamped before the current candle
A news story only appeared after it was published
And every trade was applied on the next candle
I also tested for leakage by deleting future data and rebuilding the inputs.
The output was byte-identical.
So the decisions were made only from information available at that moment
The result is the interesting part
Jev can be right on direction and still lose performance through bad entries, exits, or stop placement
That’s what this test made much clearer:
prediction is only one part of trading
How you size, enter, exit and manage risk matters just as much
So i think next step isn’t just giving Jev more data!
It’s improving how it acts on that data:
better sizing
better exits
better stop logic
better confidence handling
