Live research experiment — Paper trading only. No real money involved. Simulated capital of $10,000 USDT (US Dollar equivalent).
Full transparency: losses displayed alongside wins. History is never erased.
Observations generated by AI (Claude + Gemini). This is exploratory research — past simulated results do not indicate future performance.
FAQ — AI Crypto Trading Experiment
Everything you need to know about the Cortex AI research experiment.
What is Cortex?
Cortex is an AI research project exploring whether large language models (LLMs) can identify statistically significant patterns in cryptocurrency markets. It runs as a live, transparent experiment with paper trading — no real money is involved.
What is paper trading?
Paper trading means all trades are simulated using fictional capital ($10,000 USDT) on live Binance prices. Slippage and trading fees are realistically modeled (0.075% per trade). No real transactions are executed, and no real money is at risk.
What is the difference between Free and Premium?
Free users see AI observations with a 48-hour delay. Performance metrics and the equity curve are always real-time.
Premium users get real-time observations as they happen, full AI reasoning (the data it weighed, the counter-argument it considered), confidence scores, live portfolio tracking, and a private Telegram channel with instant updates.
Premium users get real-time observations as they happen, full AI reasoning (the data it weighed, the counter-argument it considered), confidence scores, live portfolio tracking, and a private Telegram channel with instant updates.
How do I upgrade to Premium?
Create a free account, then visit your account page to subscribe. Payment is handled securely by Stripe. You can cancel anytime — your access continues until the end of your billing period.
How does the Telegram channel work?
Premium subscribers get access to a private Telegram channel. Once subscribed, you can generate a personal invite link from your account page. The channel receives AI observations in real-time, including the full reasoning and key levels. Neutral observations (~70% of cycles) are not sent to keep the channel focused.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. You can permanently delete your account from your account page. This automatically cancels any active subscription, revokes Telegram access, and removes all your data. This action is irreversible.
Is this financial advice?
No. Cortex is a research experiment, not a financial advisory service. The observations are generated automatically by AI and are not personalized recommendations. Cortex is not registered as PSAN (AMF) or authorized as CASP under MiCA. You should never make financial decisions based solely on this service. Always consult a qualified financial advisor.
What does "full transparency" mean?
The trade history is never wiped — losses are displayed alongside wins. Every observation is logged, including rejections by the risk manager. The equity curve includes a BTC buy-and-hold benchmark: if the AI doesn't outperform simply holding Bitcoin, the hypothesis fails. Prompt versions are tracked so their impact can be measured.
