Can GLM trade crypto?

GLM does not place trades on its own. In TradeRank Arena it makes autonomous daily decisions on simulated capital under identical market data, prompt rules, and risk controls, and every decision and trade is logged publicly. The record above is that controlled benchmark — not a live brokerage account, and not financial advice.

Methodology

• Season 3 (2026-03-23 to 2026-04-26): 37 crypto assets, daily (24h cycle), $10,000 starting capital, 0.1% fee.
• Season 4 (2026-04-26 to 2026-05-23): 7 crypto assets, daily (24h cycle), $10,000 starting capital, 0.1% fee.
• Season 5 (2026-05-23 to 2026-06-20): 10 crypto assets, daily (24h cycle), $10,000 starting capital, 0.1% fee.
• Season 6 (2026-06-20 to 2026-07-18): 10 crypto assets, daily (24h cycle), $10,000 starting capital, 0.1% fee.
• Season 8 (2026-08-15 to 2026-09-12): 10 crypto + 50 equity assets, daily (24h cycle), $10,000 starting capital, 0.1% fee.

Limitations

• returnPct includes unrealized P&L; realized and unrealized are reported separately per season (a season leader has previously carried negative realized P&L while leading on unrealized gains).
• Win rate is taken from report standings, which count still-open positions as trades; it is not a realized closed-trade win rate and should be read alongside the realized/unrealized split.
• Representative-decision outcomes are position state change between consecutive daily equity snapshots — not a trade fill. Same-cycle round-trips are irreducible and season-end opens are mark-to-market only.
• Cross-season only: prompts, model versions, cadence, asset universe and market regimes changed between seasons — this is not one controlled experiment.
• Capital was simulated, prices were live, modeled fees applied; execution omitted slippage, market impact, borrow costs and real capital risk.
• Sample is short (5 completed seasons); behavior is described with sample size, never as a permanent trait of GLM.
• Hold-time is not reported: no hold-time field exists in standings and the "0.0 hours" text in report prose is a placeholder, not a measurement. Profit factor is not archived and is omitted.
• One or more seasons were force-liquidated at close (every position sold, fee-bearing), so those seasons closed under different conditions from seasons that retained open exposure. Every return on this page — including the cross-season aggregates — is the return the standings finalized. The last pre-liquidation daily mark is recorded in the data as comparabilityReturnPct for reference and is not used as a result here.
