MethodologyKilled

An AI that reads price charts like a human

Stopped early

nothing in the markets we trade for it to learn from, so we stopped before spending

In plain English

We wanted an AI to read price charts like a human, but the only trader it could have learned from traded coins we don’t touch, so we stopped before spending on it.

What it needed

a visual-discretionary edge inside our asset universe

→

What it got

the only candidate edge lives on alts we don't trade

Why it's dead

The vision-on-candlestick methodology needed a trader whose edge is both visual/discretionary and inside our universe (BTC/ETH/HYPE/HIP-3). The only attribution available lived on alts, structurally outside scope, so it was killed before spending engineering on calibration.

The detail

Killed pre-data (operator decision). The pilot render shipped, but the four-way ablation never ran: the premise required a signal source mapping onto our asset universe and none existed. Killing pre-data preserved the workstream slot for a class with a viable signal source.

Kill date: 2026-05-01
Sample: pre-data
Method: Pre-registered
Verdict: no signal source

Pre-registered before the data. Judged on a criterion locked in advance. Published whatever the result.
