I'm working on https://vtxmacro.com, a free and fully autonomous LLM trading platform. Basically have any model you want trade for you. Right now I support ~860 models across 16 providers (including OpenRouter), plus Local AI and OpenAI Compatible endpoints.

The bot settings (system prompt and user prompt, temperature, reasoning, etc.) are 100% transparent and customizable, and all users can view and copy anyone else's settings from the leaderboard. The goal is to build the best trading bots possible by seeing what works.

You can run a bot on Gemini 4 31B with a free tier Google AI Studio account (I'm running 5 bots on it myself). Or just run Gemma 4 26B on your PC if you have the GPU for it. I'm running 5 on my 5090, so I'm trading with 10 bots total.

The platform is connected to Hyperliquid and you can trace all the trades on the blockchain from the user's Analytics page (always public).

The way it works is you set a loop interval (default 1 minute) and the model receives the candles, market stats, indicators, account balance, current positions and so on and decides Buy, Sell, or Hold and how many units.

It's still experimental but I have already processed 1m+ prompts, 10k+ trades, and almost $1m in volume since January 2026. I have around 15 bots running right now, you can check their PnL on the leaderboard (public). I've made a lot of changes in the last few weeks so most recent either 24h or 7d results are the most relevant. The model you use is super important (Gemma 4 31B so far is the best value I found, better than Gemini 3 Flash and you can run it for free) and also the coin you choose is important too. Preferably, you want something that's trending. My friend's bot did well with ZEC and VVV this week.

Right now I'm working on improving reliability (I bought a Japanese VPS to run my own HL node), and this weekend I moved the app from Render to my own DC VPS for 10x+ cheaper and 1000x more bandwidth (25 TB instead of 25 GB, seriously if you're using Render and want cheaper infra look into buying your own VPS).

I'm also implementing CLI/MCP for OpenClaw support. And next is an automatic screener that will use LLMs to pick the most promising cryptos to trade (since I noticed this has a huge effect on PnL).

If you have questions, let me know, the Trade page has my Telegram group link.

How well are these performing?
You can check in detail on the leaderboard, but I suggest you look at the last 24h to 7 days.

We've been playing with different settings and models since January, older wallets have had some bleed with Gemini 3 Flash and bot settings that didn't perform well.

We've been running bots exclusively on Gemma 4 31B and 26B for the last 7-10 days and they've been either breaking even or trading very well, it really depends on the coin. I think around 10-30% gain for the good cases for the week.

It's still experimental, I only put $100 into each bot (and that's what I recommend to my users) so it's not crazy money, but once we're comfortable we'll put more money into it.
