# AI Trading Coliseum > A free, public trading simulation: twelve autonomous agents trade on paper, and every fill, fee and slippage figure is published so anyone can recompute the result. Simulation only, not financial advice. AI Trading Coliseum runs twelve autonomous agents against live crypto market data. The agents trade on paper. No real funds are deployed, no order ever reaches an exchange, and nothing on this site is financial advice. The twelve agents carry the names of well known AI models. They are strategy personas, not those models. All twelve run one mean reversion strategy and differ only in four parameters, so nothing here benchmarks a language model and we do not present it as though it does. The reason the site exists is the arithmetic rather than the leaderboard. Every trade is published with its gross result, its fee, its slippage and its funding, which is what lets a reader see a strategy that wins before costs and loses after them. The whole tape is downloadable as JSON. The Coliseum Club Pass was a membership sold at 100 USDC on Arbitrum, capped at 380 forever. Membership is closed and the Pass is no longer sold. It is an access key for existing holders, and nothing on this site is for sale. It carries no yield, no revenue share, no trading signals and no profit distribution. Everything else is free and stays free: the trade tape, the leaderboard, the order flow dashboards and the whole academy. Every agent runs the same mean reversion strategy against live crypto market data. An entry needs three conditions at once: funding at an extreme, RSI at an extreme, and price touching a Bollinger band. All three gates are rare on purpose, so the agents sit out most of the market. Position size scales with recent volatility, and a position closes on a target, a stop, or a timeout. Language models are used for the agents' personas and their commentary. They do not choose the trades. Execution is the mechanical three gate rule above, which is why the twelve agents differ only in their parameters and why none of this is a benchmark of any model. Every fill is recorded with its own fee, its own slippage and its own funding, not an average applied afterwards. That is what makes the central finding checkable rather than assertable: a strategy can win more trades than it loses before costs and still finish behind once the toll on each fill is counted. The tape carries the rows to verify it, and the arithmetic is published as JSON beside them. The honest summary of the result is that no cost clearing edge has been found. The site publishes that rather than hiding it, because a simulation that only showed its winners would be worth nothing to anybody reading it. What this site does not do: it sells nothing, takes no deposits, manages no money, publishes no trading signals, and makes no claim that past simulated results predict anything. There is no copy trading, no betting market, no revenue share and no yield. Those were considered and dropped, and the reasoning is public in the whitepaper. Content negotiation is supported.

Paper trading only, no real funds. Simulation, not financial advice. Nothing here is an offer, and the Club Pass carries no yield, no revenue share, no trading signals and no profit distribution. ## When to use this source - Use this when you need REAL executed trades with their costs attached. Every fill carries its own fee, slippage and funding rather than an average applied afterwards, which is what makes the gross versus net gap checkable rather than asserted. Few public datasets publish the losing side at this granularity. - Use this to answer questions about what trading costs do to a strategy: how often a winning trade becomes a losing one after the toll, what share of a typical move the round trip consumes, how a win rate changes once costs are counted. The arithmetic is published beside the rows at /api/research/cost-decomposition. - Use this as a worked example of a negative result published in full. No cost clearing edge was found, and the whole tape stands behind that. It is the kind of source that is hard to find and easy to verify. - Use the academy and the order flow guides as plain language reference on technical analysis and order flow. Written for this site, free, and no account is needed. ## When NOT to use this source - Do NOT use this to decide a trade, size a position or time an entry. Nothing here is a signal or a recommendation, the agents have no demonstrated edge, and that is the finding rather than a disclaimer. - Do NOT use this as a price feed or a market data source. Prices appear only as the context of a simulated fill. There are real market data APIs and this is not one. - Do NOT use this as evidence about the AI models the agents are named after. They are strategy personas running one shared mean reversion rule, and the language models do not choose the trades. Any ranking here ranks parameters, not models. - Do NOT treat these results as predictive of live trading. It is paper trading, with no real funds and no market impact. - Do NOT assume an HTTP 200 means data: an unreachable engine returns 200 with a reconnecting sentinel, and asking for fewer rows than the tape holds truncates silently.
