Rave Before the Machine – Page 2

In the Battle of the Bots series I will compare the performances of various bots. The monthly results of three series of battles between three bots of different botcreators will be posted for the next year. The goal is to evaluate the bots performance over a longer period of time, both in winning as well as in decreasing crypto currency markets.

In the second battle the following B-bots will compete (all three starting with the letter B).

Beetlejuice by The Noogieman: This bot scans 6 different coins being ETH, TRX, ADA, VET, TFUEL and THETA. It uses many different concepts to try to determine the best entry and exit points for trades and uses both stoploss and takeprofit levels. Estimated annual return is 48%. Risk level according to the bots app is 8/12.
Dr. Block by Rave before the Machine: This bot only invests in Bitcoin and is a risk spreader using small steps when getting into its asset. Analysis is key, to ensure profits are secured and possible losses are reduces. Testing results over the first half of 2020 show a 46,2% return on investment (ROI). A lower risk bot according to the bots app, 6/12.
Botzilla by Hot Bots Team: The behavior of this bot is as assertive and aggressive as the name might suggest according to the botcreator. The bot solely trades in the most liquid and biggest cryptocurrencies. It targets a ROI of 20% per year. The bots app rates it as a mild risk bot with risk level 7/12.

Let’s have a look at the results after the first month of comparing these bots.

Battle of the B-Bots, Beetlejuice, Block and Botzilla

In the chart the blue line represents Beetlejuice, the orange line Dr. Block and the grey line Botzilla. All three bots managed to achieve positive result over the last month. Beetlejuice clearly has the largest risk appetite of the three, gaining most during the altcoin boom starting on Nov. 21 (day 22 in the chart), but falling hardest on ‘correction day’.

Botzilla and Dr. Block have a milder risk appetite, and showed a steady growth over the last month. Botzilla handled the correction of Nov. 26 well, losing only a small part of profits and remained on the sidelines ever since. Dr. Block lost almost its complete profit of the month on Nov. 26, but is the only of the three bots to finish the month at its highest point.

Final score after the first month:

Beetlejuice by The Noogieman : +14,24%
Dr. Block by Rage before the Machine: +5,23%
Botzilla by Hot Bots Team: +4,04%

I will continue to follow the performance of these three bots and report back at the end of december with a new interim score.

Tomorrow the third and last battle in the Battle of the Bots series with three new bots. Let me know if you like the battles, or if you have any tips or requests.

Several botcreators have build trading-bots that trade with a single coin. I have been following the bots that focus on trading ETH (Ethereum coin) and BTC (Bitcoin).

On the bots platform two trading bots trade with Ethereum.

Botcreator Rave before the Machine introduces Dr. Spock. According to the botcreator the bot is looking to outperform the market by avoiding large losses. Analysis is key for Dr. Spock to step out of a trade perfectly in time, just before the tip of crash.

Botcreator Team Agga Technologies created Refreshing Grey Mia, a balanced long-term risk strategy. According to the botcreator the bot is a trend following strategy focused merely on the larger upsides of the crypto market. Based on machine learning this bot’s strategy has been highly optimized to generate a superior risk-return rate.

Sound promosing. Let’s evaluate the bot performances over the last 9 weeks up to today, Nov. 26th 2020.

9 Week performance of single coin Ethereum bots

The grey line in the chart represents the performance of the Ethereum coin over the last 9 weeks. The orange line shows the performance of Dr. Spock, the Ethereum bot of botcreator Rave before the Machine. The blue line follows the performance of Refreshing Grey Mia made by botcreator Team Agga Technologies.

The graph shows that Ethereum has climbed to a profit of more than 70%, before falling back to a 39,5% gain over the 9-week period, after today’s correction. A result that both trading-bots haven’t been able to even approximately reach. Dr. Spock has been able to score a maximum gain of 1,67% and stands at -11,15% today. Refreshing Grey Mia has had a negative result during the complete 9-week period and stands at -9,76% today.

Disappointing results after reading the promising bot descriptions. Let’s see if the Bitcoin bots have been able to build a better track record.

On the bots platform four trading bots trade with Bitcoin.

Botcreator Boosting Alpha has developed Himalaya to generate a stable and moderate performance without the high risk normally associated with crypto investments.

Botcreator Rave before the Machine has two Bitcoin bots, Dr. Block and Dr. Block 2. Dr. Block is looking for a bit more security, a risk spreader which uses small steps when getting into assets. Dr. Block 2 is it’s sibling, has the same characteristics but different variables. It looks over a longer piece of the timeline than it’s brother does.

Finally Team Agga Technologies have created Sweet Orange Mia as a balanced long-term strategy, again a trend following strategy focused merely on the larger upsides of the crypto market. Based on machine learning this bot’s strategy has been highly optimized to generate a superior risk-return rate.

Let’s see how the Bitcoin bots have been performing over the last 8 weeks.

8 Week performance of the single coin Bitcoin trading bots

The lightblue line represents the development of the Bitcoin price over the last 8 weeks. Bitcoin has reached an incredible 83% growth before falling to a 56,3% gain today, Nov. 26th 2020. The best performing Bitcoin trading-bot in the past 8 weeks is Dr. Block 2 represented by the yellow line in the graph, with a gain of 20,6%. Sweet Orange Mia (darkblue line) has gained as much as 29% before losing 12% in a single day today, closing on a 15,5% profit. Dr. Block (grey line) has shown steady growth to finish the 8-week period with a gain of 14%. Himalaya (orange line) reached a nearly 30% profit, but hasn’t been able to hold on to it’s gains falling more than 16% today to a profit of 11,6%.

The results presented above are measured over a relatively short period of 8 and 9 weeks, and it is probably to early to attach conclusions to them. The development of the profits could tell something about the aggressiveness of the various bots, and can help in deciding to choose the best bot according to your risk appetite.

I will continue to follow the performance of the bots over the coming period.
