Jev trading bot makes 1,838 calls in 10 minutes and is still down 5.2%
The jev trader runs MON/USDC on Kuru and must pick buy or sell within about 100ms each block; despite high confidence it lost overall, showing an agent that cannot abstain is just cornered.
AN AI AGENT MADE 1,838 TRADING CALLS IN 10 MINUTES AT 87% CONFIDENCE. IT'S DOWN 5.2% jev trader runs MON/USDC on Kuru. every block it has to pick a side, buy or sell, and it gets about 100ms to decide. read the market → pick a side → attach confidence → execute → next block 1,838 calls in under 10 minutes. confidence sitting around 85-88% on almost every call. when it's too slow, the block moves on without it and the feed just says LATE. and it's still down 5.2%. high confidence on every decision, negative p&l on the total. that's what happens when you force an agent to always act. it's a dry run for now. the interesting part isn't the speed. it's what happens when you take away the option to do nothing. the takeaway is simple: an agent that can't abstain isn't confident. it's cornered.
