My AI trading bot is now more than $200 down on my $5,000 prop firm challenge — and I’m still not changing the strategy.
This week, the bot took 7 trades and finished with another losing result:
7 trades
42.9% win rate
-$13.97 weekly P&L
0.57 profit factor
The equity curve keeps moving in the wrong direction, and the challenge failure level is getting closer.
So why am I still letting it trade?
Because the goal of this experiment isn’t to prove that my trading bot works. It’s to find out whether it actually works under live conditions.
If I change the strategy every time I experience a losing streak, I’m no longer testing the original system — I’m reacting to the results.
So for now, the rules stay the same.
No hiding losses.
No changing the strategy because the results look ugly.
No pretending the experiment is going better than it is.
If the bot recovers, you’ll see it.
If it fails the $5K challenge, you’ll see that too.
