🤖 UPDATE ON MY GROK BOT AGENTIC TRADING EXPERIMENT 📈📉
TL;DR: Crypto trading @bot would have turned a 🟩 +2% profit with a less punitive fee structure vs. 🟥 -13.5% on the underlying asset. Switching platforms removes the fee friction.
I revised the numbers on my agentic Crypto Desk bot who traded $XRP between 9/7 and 10/29 to account for Robinhood's ~0.95% "spread" (FEE) on every buy and sell, basically costing the bot 1.90% on each round trip.
The original result had my bot 🟥 -6.35% vs. "buy and hold" XRP -13.6% which I thought was cool - his buy/sell strategy only lost half in a down market. BUT when you remove the fee friction, he actually would have finished in the green! Estimated between 🟩 +2.1 and 2.8% vs. -13.6% buy and hold!
On 10/29 I switched him from trading XRP to $SOL and based on the fee analysis I also moved to the @BinanceUS platform where fees drop from 1.9% on a round trip to roughly 0.04%.
Stock Bot is also doing quite well on the equities side, and I'll be publishing monthly performance data for both trading bots on the last day of the month, starting 11/30. Follow along if you're interested!

🤖 REPORT ON MY GROK BOT AGENTIC TRADING EXPERIMENT 📈📉
TL;DR: BOTH my agentic Stock Bot and Crypto Desk are BEATING their benchmarks! Here’s how the experiment is going.
I've been using my Robinhood agentic (MCP) account to experiment with two autonomous Grok traders:
🤖 Crypto Desk trades a single cryptocurrency using a rules-based strategy.
🤖 Stock Bot has broad discretion to select, buy, manage, and sell stocks.
As @RobinhoodApp advises, I'm responsible for all trades and use only a limited budget I'm comfortable losing. This is my personal experiment, not trading advice.
🪙 CRYPTO DESK: XRP vs. BUY-AND-HOLD
Crypto Desk traded $XRP from September 7 through October 29, 2026. His benchmark was simple: What would have happened if I'd just bought XRP and held it for the same period?
🔴 XRP buy-and-hold: −13.6%
🔴 Crypto Desk: −6.35%
That's right. Crypto Desk LOST LESS THAN HALF what simply holding XRP would have lost!
His circuit breakers and periods sitting in cash helped protect capital through a declining market. I was VERY pleased with that result!
After his final XRP sale on October 29, I switched him to $SOL. Why? Because, try as I might, I never managed to give a crap about XRP. Apologies to the XRP faithful who occasionally find their way onto my timeline. ☺️
I've spent considerable time exploring Solana through DeFi, so I'm much more interested in following SOL.
📈 STOCK BOT: EQUITIES vs. THE S&P 500
Stock Bot has freedom to choose and trade U.S. stocks within some basic guardrails: no leveraged ETFs, a four-stock maximum, concentration limits, and a preference for individual stocks over broad-market funds. He can't just buy QQQ and call it a day, for example. Cash is a perfectly valid position.
His benchmark is SPY, including dividends.
From our September 17 starting benchmark through the Friday, October 30 close:
🔴 SPY: −0.66%
🟢 Stock Bot: +2.27%
ANOTHER WIN OVER THE BENCHMARK!
And this is particularly encouraging because I discovered a flaw in Stock Bot's original routine: he knew how to exit losing trades but wasn't properly recognizing when to collect profits on winning ones!
I corrected that earlier this month and refined the routine further. On Friday, October 30, he successfully took profits on a winning $XOM position. That's exactly the behavior I'd been trying to achieve.
🔮 WHAT'S NEXT?
Starting at the end of November, I'll publish monthly updates comparing both bots with their respective benchmarks:
📊 Stock Bot vs. SPY total return
🪙 Crypto Desk vs. simply holding SOL
And I PROMISE the monthly reports won't be this long! 😂
Feel free to follow along if you're interested in seeing whether my version of autonomous AI trading can actually outperform the alternatives over time. 🫡

I miss the Thrashers. But the @Titans still exist so this strategy lives on
The Thrashers would like to have games scheduled this season. However, in our estimation, playing games would potentially give us a reduction in our expected win probability.
