Build Failing Day Trading Agent Internship

We’re looking for talented individuals who can build the worst trading bot ever. That’s right—the worst.

Our goal is to demonstrate the patterns and pitfalls that commonly cause beginner traders to blow up their accounts. Rather than trying to find a strategy that beats the market, we want to see how well you can optimize Claude or another AI agent to intentionally reproduce the mistakes, behaviors, and decision-making patterns of inexperienced traders. Our hope is to use the data to teach others, while also seeing your skills.

We want to see your ability to build a bot that consistently makes bad trading decisions. Then, you can move forward to building profitable bots.

But there’s a second challenge: build a component that models increasing stress over time. As a trade moves against the bot, its stress should build until it eventually gives up and exits a losing position—just as an inexperienced trader might panic, abandon their strategy, or close a trade at the worst possible moment.

You’ll have access to live futures markets, and the task is to build, test, and optimize this bot within a day-trading environment.

The goal isn’t to create a profitable trading system. It’s to create a convincing simulation of how and why beginner traders make poor decisions—and to demonstrate how effectively you can use AI to model those behaviors.
