my AI trading bot lost $15 on a bad trade this morning. i sent it one message: "why did you bet at 60c?? bro it's so easily avoidable" within 3 minutes it: - read through 400,000 lines of trade logs - found the exact bug (a safety check was getting bypassed on deep order books) - fixed two separate issues in the code - restarted itself i didn't write a single line of code. i just complained. this is what people don't understand about AI agents. you don't need to be a developer. you need to be a good manager. "that trade was dumb, fix it" is a valid debugging prompt. the bot mass traded for 7 hours after the fix. zero bad fills. we went from "AI lost money" to "AI found its own bug and patched it" in under 5 minutes. i mass built 2 trading bots, a content dashboard, and a morning briefing system. total lines of code i personally wrote: 0. the skill isn't coding. it's knowing what to ask for.

Harvard just published a study saying AI doesn't reduce work. It intensifies it. They studied employees who use AI to write emails faster. Meanwhile my AI: - trades while i slept - generates my morning briefing - runs my content framework The study isn't wrong. it's studying the wrong people. "AI users" get more work. "AI operators" get more freedom. Big difference.

this week, my content system helped me create a tweet that got 104K views. here’s how it works: - every morning, it analyzes my last 30 days of tweets to spot patterns - by 7:30am, it sends me a brief with draft suggestions - i approve, reject, or tweak each one. every rejection teaches it what i don’t want - it scores each draft on viral potential before i post - generates visuals for tweets that need them the whole setup runs on a $600 mac mini and costs me about $200/month in subscriptions. full breakdown video dropping this week. you’ll see exactly how it all works. this is what being an operator actually looks like.

how i built a trading bot with zero code: 345 wins. 26 losses. 93% win rate. no python knowledge. no stackoverflow. just me talking to an AI agent and iterating. here's the playbook: 1. start with the dumbest version possible. my first prompt was literally "build me a bot that bets on polymarket 15-minute markets" lost $11 on the first trade. but it worked. 2. iterate with real data. every time the bot lost money, i'd paste the trade log into claude and say "why did this lose? fix it." each loss = one prompt = one fix. 3. let the AI audit itself. set up a cron job that runs after every loss. reads the log, analyzes what went wrong, suggests fixes. the AI debugging itself. 4. brain + muscles trick. expensive model for complex decisions. cheap model for monitoring. free rule-based logic for actual trades. went from $300/month to $30/month in AI costs. 5. log everything. every trade, every decision, every loss with full forensics. when i say 345 wins that's from my actual log file. the bot runs 24/7 on a $600 mac mini. trades BTC, ETH, SOL every 15 minutes. the whole point: you don't need to know how to code. you need to know how to operate. describe what you want. test it with real money (small). paste the failures back in. iterate. the bot isn't smart. the process is.

50 wins. 1 loss. $19 profit. that loss almost wiped out everything. this is the thing nobody tells you about high win-rate strategies: it doesn't matter if you win 98% of the time if your losses are 10x bigger than your wins. my bot makes ~$0.30 per win. that one SOL loss cost $29. the real edge isn't win rate. it's risk management. fixing this today.

My AI agent lost $80 while I slept last night. The last 12 hours were brutal for Max. He made a whole $100 betting on prediction markets yesterday, only to wipe away his wins in 5 trades. This is the reality of building a betting bot. x.com/sharbel/status…

Hot take from running a marketing agency for 5 years: The #1 mistake crypto founders make isn't bad marketing. It's outsourcing their voice. We've literally had clients come to us and say "can you just post as me?" No. That's the whole problem. No copywriter will ever capture the way your brain connects ideas. No agency will ever replicate the rant you go on at 1am when something pisses you off about your industry. Not because they suck. Because your voice is the one thing that give you an edge in your industry. How do I know? Because that's the same playbook we've used to scale to a 7-figure agency over 5 years. We don't post for founders. We teach them how to create more of the content that will get them customers. That's the whole playbook.

🚨 PSA for anyone running a Polymarket bot: Polymarket’s upstream providers are broken right now. Your bot doesn’t know its trades went through. It will likely just spam click buy. Pause everything. And check in on your bot. x.com/sharbel/status…
