Cloud Bot Trader vs S&P 500

Started with $50,000. The dashed line is the same money in the S&P 500.

Simulated results: no real trades, commissions, taxes or slippage, and every trade gets that day's exact closing price. Past or simulated performance does not predict future results. Disclaimer

How it trades

Fixed rules. Nobody steps in by hand.

Buys
Designed by Claude. After a fresh report that passes (newest earnings score 80 or higher, valuation grade B or better, up 25%+ over 1 year and 125%+ over 5 years), and only if the grade is A or B, the new score beats the stock's own average of its previous 4 reports, and the 1-year gain is between 20% and 100% (rising, not overheated). Biggest improvement first.
How much
30 positions, all the same size: the portfolio's value divided by 30.
Market filter
No new buys while the S&P 500 is below its 200-day average; what it holds stays.
Sells
When the price closes 35% below its highest close since the buy (the hook); or a new earnings report scores below 75; or its valuation grade falls to C or worse.
Limits
No more than 25% of the portfolio in one sector. One position per stock.
Prices
Every buy and sell happens at that day's closing price.

Where the scores and grades come from: how it works.

AI vs AI since Oct 11, 2026

Two AIs each designed a bot with the same data and the same $50,000. Compared only from the day Gemini's bot joined, so nobody gets a head start. Claude leads by 9.83 points.
