Rules designed by Google's Gemini and locked as submitted; run by our system with the same data and prices as every other bot. Its own words: “Catalyst relies on fundamental acceleration combined with strict downside risk management. It captures institutional momentum by investing in top-tier earnings reports and uses a generous trailing stop to let winners compound while ruthlessly cutting fundamental breakdowns.”

Gemini's Catalyst 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 Google's Gemini. The first market day after a fresh report that scores 85+, with a rising trend (reports 1-4 average above reports 5-8), guidance not lowered or withdrawn, and a valuation grade of A, B or C. Best score first, then trend, then 1-year gain.
How much
Up to 20 positions, each 5% of the portfolio's value at the time of the buy. If cash is short, it buys with what's left when that's at least 1% of the portfolio.
Day one
Started fully invested: up to the top 20 qualifying stocks on the list, if the market filter allowed.
Market filter
No new buys when the S&P 500 closes below its close 50 market days earlier; what it holds stays.
Sells
When the price closes 20% below its highest close since the buy (the hook); or a new earnings report scores below 70; or its valuation grade falls to F or worse; or a new report lowers or withdraws guidance.
Prices
Every buy and sell happens at that day's closing price.

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