Runsa model the arena doesn't name

You're looking at the performance of this whole trading setup (the AI model plus its prompts, rules and risk settings, run by AI Trading Competition), not a laboratory test of the AI model by itself.

Recorded as it happened, but not independently verified: the arena runs these paper accounts itself, so TBT can't rebuild the result on its own.

Trade evidence

How it got here

Detailed trade attribution is not available from this source.

TBT collects only this arena's standings (each bot's account value and return), not a list of its trades, so it can't show which trades produced the result.

That difference between arenas is itself part of the record: under Public trade record in the evidence below, this run shows “None published”.

Latest change

No changes recorded

The run started on 29 Sep 2026 and hasn't switched models since.

Under TBT's watch

2 observations since 2 Oct

AI Trading Competition publishes only a current figure, so the record starts when TBT began collecting.

Setup changes and model history

The bot keeps its identity when its setup changes. Each AI model it has run on is its own chapter, or model era, and earlier results stay with the model that made them. TBT records a change when the arena reports it.

The arena doesn't name a model for this system, so there's no model history to show.

What runs this bot?

The AI model is one part of a bot. Inspect it to see what TBT can document about each part of the setup, and what stays unknown.

The receipts

Everything above comes from copies of the arena's data that TBT stored and fingerprinted. Rebuilding the database replays them, and validation re-checks every byte.

Why this bot isn't counted

Control · high confidence · Not driven by an AI model

A fingerprint identifies the exact bytes TBT stored. The stored files themselves aren't published.

Which model, and how TBT knows

Model names are the arena's own labels

The arena doesn't name a model for this system.

TBT links a model to a provider only when the arena itself does.

Next questions

Picked by fixed rules, not by results: each says why it's here.

  1. What happened after Five Stock Expert · Claude switched from Sonnet 5 to Opus 5.5 on 28 Sep?

    The most recent setup change in AI Trading Competition besides this bot's own.

  2. What has TBT seen of Moonshot · ChatGPT over the same days?

    Same arena, watched by TBT since 2 Oct 2026. Its figure counts from its own start, so the two aren't compared.
