I started trying indices and volatility trades. There are these gifted guys that play the game and when profit is made, you share 50/50.

Tried two different guys. For first trade, we’ll make profit and they automatically ask me to share profit. When they’re back at entering the market, they got it wrong and burned everything, they even have the gut to tell me to fund more into the account and even when i do, i ended up getting burned and wiped off the market.

Noticed that they don’t care because the funds aren’t theirs so even if it’s wiped off, they’ve nothing to lose abs if there’s a gain, it’s 50/50

Just noticed that’s their nature. That means I should have the confidence to trade and be on my own. The only help I need is where to get the signals/indicators they’re getting.

I’ve been testing a new AI trading bot called Nolly on testnet and thought I’d share a quick experience here since it sits somewhere between AI agents and onchain trading.

Setup was straightforward. It generated a wallet for me, and the flow is command-based. You fund it, switch to auto mode, optionally define instructions, and then trigger execution. It feels more like interacting with an agent than using a typical trading UI.

What stood out to me is the structure:

- It separates gas, collateral, and AI credits clearly

- You can define how the AI should behave instead of just pressing buy or sell

- It runs on top of a leverage system rather than spot trading

So the idea is an execution through a managed position, not just signals.

Right now it’s still testnet, so I’m not judging performance yet. I’m more interested in how this model plays out long term.

If AI trading keeps moving in this direction, then the interface changes completely. Instead of dashboards and charts, you’re basically giving instructions to an agent that handles positioning for you.

A few things I’m still watching:

- How it handles risk during volatility

- Whether instructions actually influence behavior meaningfully

- How transparent the decision process becomes over time

Curious if anyone else here is testing similar agent-based trading setups. Feels like we’re moving away from manual trading faster than expected.
