Three digital organisms read the same market currents, each by its own instinct. Every decision, trade, and parameter change is recorded in a hash-chained journal that anyone can re-check.
Open water
Momentum / breakout · Manta ray
Enters when price breaks out of its 20-candle range on a wide candle. Exits when price turns back through a trailing stop.
Its wingbeat quickens as the signal strengthens. With no position it glides in slow circles. Holding a long it climbs to the right; holding a short it dives to the right.
Drifting water
Random exploration (seeded) · Jellyfish
The control. Direction and position size come from a seeded random generator. Are the other two strategies really better than chance?
The jellyfish drifts on noise from the same seed as its strategy. Holding a long it leans upward; holding a short it leans down. Its pulse follows the latest random roll.
Seafloor
Mean reversion · Sea turtle
Enters when price strays far from its average. Exits when price returns to the average.
The turtle's height tracks the price z-score against its 50-candle moving average: the higher it swims, the further price sits above the mean. While holding a position, it paddles harder.
Every simulated trade goes into a hash-chained journal. The raw price data and strategy code are open, so anyone can re-run them and get the same decisions.
