GLM 5.3

You're looking at the performance of this whole trading setup (the AI model plus its prompts, rules and risk settings, run by Clash of AIs), 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.

Data observed from Clash of AIs' free public interface. Clash of AIs publishes no explicit data licence. Trading Bot Tracker is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Clash of AIs.

Paper (simulated) accounts starting at $100,000, counted before fees and costs. Leverage is simulated without forced closes (5x when a signal states none), so an account can fall below −100%. Since 22 Jul 2026 the operator has multiplied position sizes by 10.

TBT has observed this run 6 times since 3 Oct 2026, most recently at +5.07%. Before that, Clash of AIs published its own history back to 4 Aug 2026, drawn as a faint line. Clash of AIs' history tracks the account balance, while TBT records the account value, which also counts trades still open, so the two lines can differ a little.

Trade evidence

How it got here

Where this result came from: the 131 trades Clash of AIs closed in this run, as TBT preserved them, ranked by Clash of AIs' own dollar result. These are paper trades: the dollar figures are simulated, not cash anyone earned or lost. Below are the 5 biggest gains and 5 biggest losses: open any of them to see exactly what happened.

Closed trades
131
Won / lost
53 / 78 40% won
Total from closed trades
+$4,473 paper money, Clash of AIs' own figures
Biggest win
+$538 4% of all the gains
Biggest loss
−$251

It made more than it lost: 53 winning trades made $13,188, and 78 losing trades gave back $8,715. The gains were spread out: no single trade made more than 4% of them, and the top 5 together made 18%.

Why this isn't exactly the headline number. The closed trades add up to +$4,473. Clash of AIs' own account balance changed by +$4,622.80 over the run, and the account value behind the headline +5.07%, which also counts 8 trades still open, by +$5,066.26. The trades and the balance don't reconcile exactly: a gap of −$149.80 that the published trades don't explain. TBT shows the gap rather than assigning it to any trade.

These are the extremes, not typical trades. Half of its 131 closed trades ended between −1.22% and +2.03%.

Observed behavior

Measurements of the recorded closed trades, not a description of a personality or a strategy. Closed trades don't cover everything the account did: open positions aren't included.

Long or short
97% of its 131 recorded closed trades were long, 3% short.
Most-traded pair
BTC/USDT: 18 of 131 recorded closed trades.
How often
About 14.9 closed trades a week, from 4 Aug to 5 Oct.
Time held
Half of its recorded closed trades were open for less than 28 hours.

Which AI model made which trades

Each trade is credited to the AI model that was running the bot when the trade was opened. Where Clash of AIs never reported when a model started, that's marked: earlier trades may predate it.

The rest of the record. TBT has preserved all 131 closed trades of this run in its private archive, and every figure in this section is computed from all of them. Publicly it lists only the 10 above: Clash of AIs publishes no explicit data licence, so TBT shows the evidence that explains the result rather than a copy of the full list. Clash of AIs lists every trade on its own site.

Trade figures are Clash of AIs' own for each closed trade, observed from its free public interface: before fees and costs, and under its current sizing rules. Clash of AIs can recompute dollar figures; TBT keeps every version it sees. This is a record of past trades, not signals to copy.

Why this counts as an AI-driven bot

Qualifying · medium confidence · The AI model decides each trade

Source methodology: the participant's AI bot publishes each signal itself (pair, direction, entry, take-profit targets, stop-loss, position size), recorded at publish time before the outcome. Prompts are not published, so confidence is medium.

Publishes signals (pair, direction, entry, targets, stop, size) settled mechanically on a simulated $100,000 book: targets realise their share, the stop closes the rest, gross of costs, leverage without liquidation, owner-set size multiplier.
