1/ I let an AI agent trade crypto for 6 weeks without touching it. Here's exactly what happened (P&L, wins, losses, the 2am alert I almost missed). This **AI crypto trading agents thread** details my ETH experiment 🧵

2/ Setup: A custom-built Assistant Hub agent, configured for ETH spot trading. Initial capital: $5,000. Goal: test autonomous performance under market volatility.

3/ Strategy: Mean reversion on 15-minute ETH/USD chart, with dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels adjusting to ATR. Agent initiated trades based on specific divergence signals.

4/ The experiment ran from April 1st to May 13th, 2024. A full 6 weeks of zero manual intervention. Markets saw both significant pumps and corrections for ETH during this period.

5/ Results: Initial $5,000 grew to $5,850. A net profit of $850. That's a 17% gain in 6 weeks, purely autonomous. No "passive income" fluff, just numbers.

6/ Trade breakdown: 72 total trades. 58 wins (80.5% win rate), 14 losses. Average winning trade: $28. Average losing trade: -$55. Small wins, contained losses.

7/ The agent sent an alert at 2:17 AM on May 1st
