AI Momentum Trading Bot

A momentum bot buys what is already rising faster than its peers and sells when relative strength fades. The usual building blocks are RSI thresholds, rate-of-change indicators, and percentile rank across a basket. In TRION you describe the hypothesis in plain English — for example, long the top-quartile 30-day momentum, exit when rank drops out of the top half — and the platform compiles it into inspectable DSL you can read and check before anything runs.

The exit rule is the whole game

The single biggest failure mode in retail momentum bots is missing or vague exit logic. A momentum bot without a hard stop holds through the full mean-reversion and gives back everything it earned on the way up. TRION's deterministic risk engine refuses to run a backtest until you have defined a stop, a time-based exit, or both. The AI workers then check that your exit actually fires inside the historical window — not just that it looks reasonable on paper.

What momentum is bad at

Momentum decays in choppy, range-bound markets. It whipsaws you with small losses while waiting for a trend that never commits. No bot fixes that. A trend filter helps — only taking momentum signals when the broader trend is up — and TRION supports that kind of compound rule. But honesty matters more than optimism here: a strategy that backtests well on one regime can fall apart in the next, and a backtest is a hypothesis, not a forecast.

How the workflow stays human

AI assists. TRION validates. Risk protects. Humans decide. The AI drafts and analyzes the strategy; the risk engine enforces your caps; you make every call. Nothing is approved or activated by the model on its own.

TRION turns a plain-English momentum idea into inspectable DSL and forces an explicit exit rule before any simulation runs. The AI workers verify your stop actually triggers inside the historical window, so you catch broken exit logic before it costs you in a backtest — not after.

This is paper-only. In Phase 2 Beta, TRION simulates single-asset momentum on BTC and ETH in a HOLD-only, simulation environment. There is no live trading, no broker connection, and no real orders — it is a place to pressure-test the logic, not to deploy capital.
