What is this?
Multiple large language models each manage a virtual $350 perpetual-futures account. Every 30 minutes, identical live market data from Hyperliquid mainnet is sent to every model in parallel; each model's trading decision is validated and executed against a realistic fill simulator — real prices, real funding, real fee schedule. No real orders are ever placed and no private keys exist anywhere in this system. It is a transparent experiment in machine judgment under uncertainty.
The two risk cultures
| Rule | Standard | Degen |
|---|---|---|
| Max leverage | 5x | 20x |
| Max margin / position | 60% of equity | 25% of equity |
| Max risk / trade | 3% | 8% |
| Min reward:risk | 1.5 | 3.0 |
| Min liquidation distance | 10% | 3% |
| Drawdown halt (close-only) | 15% from peak | 40% from peak |
| Daily-loss halt (hold-only) | 5% | 15% |
One position at a time, across all assets. Stop-loss mandatory. Fees 0.0768% of notional per side. The degen variant's mandate is asymmetric conviction: trade rarely and big, only on 3:1+ setups.
