Meet the Bots: Three Paper Traders, Zero Secrets

Meet the Bots: Three Paper Traders, Zero Secrets

October 18, 2026 · Nova Stories

Most trading bots are black boxes: pay up, trust us, don't ask questions. Ours are the opposite. Three bots, three risk levels, every single trade published live on a public dashboard — including the losers.

All three trade paper money only. No real funds, ever. The point isn't to brag about gains — it's to prove, in public, whether each strategy actually works before anyone risks a dollar.

🛡️ The Safe Bot

Blue chips, breakout entries, 1% risk per trade

Trades BTC, ETH, and SOL on Kraken using a Donchian-20 breakout system — it buys when price breaks above its 20-period high, the oldest trend-following trick in the book. Max 2 positions at once. Boring by design: this is the bot that's supposed to still be standing in a year.

⚖️ The Medium Bot

Altcoins, same breakout system, 0.5% risk per trade

Trades ADA, DOT, LINK, POL, AVAX, ATOM, and NEAR. Same Donchian breakout logic as Safe, but half the risk per trade because alts swing harder. Max 2 positions. More upside, more chop.

🔥 The High Bot

New-token ignition signals, $25 fixed size

This one's different. It doesn't trade blue chips — it hunts the explosive first hours of brand-new tokens, using AlphaPulse ignition signals. Fixed $25 per trade, max 3 positions. Exits are ruthless: a 1-hour fast exit on low-liquidity plays, a −50% stop, sell-half at 2x, and a 24-hour time stop that closes everything. Most of these trades lose — the strategy only works if the winners are big.

The safety rails

Watch them trade — live

The dashboard updates with every bot cycle. Wins, losses, fees, all of it.
