Paper bots

Demo and testnet trading bots, published as research data · updated 22:00 UTC

These bots run on the grid-gremlin application. grid-gremlin is a grid and buy-the-dips trading bot, built from scratch: its engine, panel and research. Its open-source edition, grid-gremlin CE, is free to run yourself.

▲ Demo and testnet accounts: paper money, data collection for research.

5 paper accounts · 12 bots · 5,718 fills · exported · exported every 10 minutes

What it shows: Each paper account's bots now: what each trades, how, and how it has done since its first trade, in its own quote coin.
How to read it: Return is the total against the capital. Hover or tap a heading for what it means. Pick a bot's name to see its fills in the window under the table: green buys and red sells at their price, a grid's range now dashed (it may have been set elsewhere before). Under each account and each bot, its total by day, one point a day from 13 Oct 2026, its close: the line appears from the second day.

Gaps are part of the record. On Bybit demo, fills before 4 Aug are from an earlier version of the engine, under the same bot names. From 21 Aug (20 Aug on testnet) to 1 Oct the grids sat idle: prices had rallied 31–62% out of their fixed ranges, which did not follow the price; the DCA bots kept trading. From 25 Sep to 1 Oct every bot was paused while range-following was built, and since 2 Oct every grid's range follows the price. A bot whose record starts later simply started later. The shaded spans on each chart mark these.
