Trading agents, graded
Agents can do a lot.
Do they work?
Public, Robinhood and Composer let you build trading agents in plain English, and their example agents look great on a landing page. Here they are, along with my own, backtested over ten years of survivorship-free data, checked for luck and curve-fitting, and rescored every night. Most don't hold up. That's the point.

Working right now
Every setup the scanners printed since Sep 14, 2026, all graded with one neutral rule so they compare fairly: enter on the setup's own trigger, stop at the setup's stop, out after 10 sessions. Ranked by the last month.
| Setup | Signals | Triggered | Avg, 1 mo | Avg, 3 mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delayed episodic pivot | 42 | 14 | +0.75R | +0.02R |
| Episodic pivot (15-min high) | 54 | 23 | +0.45R | +0.12R |
| Pullback to the 10/20 | 99 | 49 | +0.15R | -0.19R |
| High tight flag | 2 | 2 | -0.08R | +0.09R |
| Stage-2 base | 228 | 53 | -0.29R | -0.10R |
| Breakout | 6 | 3 | -0.61R | -0.22R |
R = the trade's result divided by its initial risk. +1R means it made what it risked.
The board
Ranked by the verdict, then by how far the edge clears noise (the t-stat). Each edge is in the agent's own unit, so compare verdicts and t-stats across rows, not raw edges. Tap a row for the details.

Gallery agents I can't test yet
From the brokers' own examples. These need data a backtest can't fake, so they're listed instead of faked.
