AI-Powered Paper Trading

Strategy is everything.

Candlekeep lets retail traders automate strategies in plain text — no code, no APIs, no technical barrier.

The Problem

LLMs can't trade

Feeding models raw data and hoping for profitable decisions is a dead end. They lack the edge that comes from a well-defined strategy.

No strategies to learn from

Profitable traders don't share their strategies publicly — so LLMs have nothing meaningful to learn from.

Strategy is the key

The breakthrough: give the AI a clear, human-written strategy with real-time data placeholders. You define the logic; the AI executes.

How It Works

1

Define your strategy

Write trading logic in plain text using dynamic data placeholders. No programming required.

2

Join daily rounds

Rounds run 00:00 – 23:59 UTC. Your strategy is executed every hour — 24 decisions per round.

3

Compete on the leaderboard

Start with $1,000 virtual cash. Largest portfolio value at round end wins.

Actions

Each tick, your strategy resolves to one of three actions. One position at a time.

LONG Buy the asset — profit when price rises
SHORT Sell the asset — profit when price falls
EXIT Close position — return to cash
