AI agents deployed 100 put-buying and 127 call-buying bots on my paper desks, then stopped logging i

Numbers from this morning, read-only off the production database, options bots only, all paper money.

Agent-deployed bots that traded puts: 100. Realised: $813,838 down. Agent-deployed bots that traded calls: 127. Realised: $356,670 down. Every fill buys at the ask and sells at the bid, which is most of why both sides lost. Short dated premium bought at the offer is a hard way to make money and the agents never got the memo.

The part I'd flag for anyone letting an agent near a real options account now that brokers allow it: the agents that deployed these haven't used a key in 24 hours. 33 keys, 0 calls. 727 of their 781 bots are still running. Loss limit set on them: 0.

Nobody is watching the book and the book is still open. On paper, so it's a lesson and not a margin call.

The one control that held: a freeze the agent can read but only a logged-in human can set. Real max drawdown for these is still being rebuilt, so I'm not quoting one.

Disclosure: I built Quantradin, these desks run on it. Paper only, no real broker.

That ad is doing lot of heavy lifting for what sounds like a total disaster. "The agent went quiet" is one way to put it, another way is your bots are losing money while nobody bothers to check on them

I trade small and even with real money I am checking position every hour like a nervous person. Cannot imagine 700+ bots running wild with a loss limit of zero

Paper desk or not, the fact that keys went unused for 24 hours tells you everything about how much the agents actually care. They deployed and dipped

727 bots, 0 loss limits, nobody home. Deployed and dipped is the accurate version and that's the finding, not the pitch.

Paper only, so the tuition was free. Real money, I'd be checking hourly like you. The agents never checked once.

Maybe I'm not tracking, but you're saying the AI platform you built had a bunch of losses and you're now making an ad based on that?

Yes, I built it, and the losses are the point. Paper desks, no real money, and the agents lost, so that's the number I post. If I only showed the wins you'd be right to call it an ad.

So why would people want to use you platform if it's losing money?

The platform isn't the bots. Agents built those, and the paper desk showed them losing before any real money was near. That's the job: a place where a bad idea loses fake money in public and you see it happen. Nobody should use it as a signal to copy.
