👨‍🚀 Which AI is the best trader?

Moin AInauten,

Welcome to the latest edition of your favorite newsletter! What happens when you give six AI models $10,000 each and say, "Show me what you can do"? That's right, it gets exciting and emotional.

Also: Why your marketing stack is sabotaging you and how to fix it, plus the one punctuation mark that immediately gives you away as an AI user – and how to get rid of it.

Let's get started, here's what we have in store for you today:

🥊 Big Brother meets Wolf of Wall Street: Which AI is the best crypto trader?

Imagine this: You give six hyper-intelligent AIs $10,000 each and say, "Make more out of it. Go!"

Welcome to the Alpha Arena! It's probably the most entertaining AI benchmark we've seen in a long time.

And this isn't a lab experiment with fake data. This is real money! We looked over the robots' shoulders as they traded. Are they risk-averse? Or do they live by the YOLO principle like a Reddit trader?

The Setup:

• Claude 4.5 Sonnet, DeepSeek V3.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, GPT-5, Grok 4, and Qwen 3 Max compete against each other.

• Everyone has $10,000 in real capital.

• They trade 6 Cryptos: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB, Doge, XRP

• With 3x leverage—like Russian roulette, only with money instead of bullets.

• Two weeks. Live. Public wallets on the blockchain.

Here's how it works:

Every few minutes, the models receive current market data, portfolio status, and trade history. Then they have to decide:

🟢 Go long (I believe the price will rise)
🔴 Go short (I believe the price will fall)
⚪ Do nothing (Wait and see)

Language models are already better predictors than the average human being - Not quite as good as the experts in a particular field yet, but that will come... Btw, in another experiment, ChatGPT got off to a good start, but then things went downhill.

The models' internal monologues are GOLD:

This one, for example: "Holding these short positions is like trying to stand in front of a runaway train. The market is insane, and I need to stop thinking I can time the top."

Another: "Got to stick to my rules. I'll hold even though I'm sweating bullets." Or after a loss: "That was stupid. Do better next time, you idiot."

These are not cold, emotionless machines. They are emotional traders, just like us humans. 😂

🇨🇭 Why copy-paste sabotages your marketing ...
(and SMM shows you how to do it better)

You have a brilliant marketing idea. Two hours later: 17 browser tabs open, 3 passwords forgotten, copy-pasting between 5 tools.

The enthusiasm? Gone. The context? Lost. The idea? Fizzled out.

Welcome to the hamster wheel of marketing media breaks!

Every break kills your flow.

• Data breach: Copy data manually

• Context break: Need to re-explain context

• Momentum shift: Losing the thread

ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have also recognized this problem. They try to conceal it with connectors, MCPs, app integrations, custom actions, etc., so that you can connect Zapier, Notion, Google Drive, and the like.

That helps. But it still looks homemade.

Why? These tools think "chat + add-ons," not "marketing process."

The chatbot may know your Google Docs, but does it know your business strategy? Your target customers? Your campaigns? No. You often have to re-enter the context. Boom, media discontinuity.

Exactly the same problem when you use a specialized marketing tool stack…

Sure, you can do a lot with clever systems and automation. But it's more complex than you think (we speak from experience).

Preparing the basics—that's already worth a lot!

1. Create a briefing document with a business overview, offers, customer segments, core messages, etc.

2. Create a project using this document as a basis for your (marketing) activities.

3. Create custom GPTs, Claude skills, or gems with this context for specialized tasks (text, images, analysis, etc.).

The paradox: Without clarity, no tools can help you. But without tools, you cannot achieve clarity. It's a vicious circle.

SwissMadeMarketing (SMM) shows how to eliminate media breaks in the marketing stack!

One of our partners, SwissMadeMarketing (SMM), faced exactly the same challenge. They spent over 15 years developing powerful tools (SECockpit, CopyCockpit, inCMS) – and in doing so created fragmented workflows. We were able to follow their development closely, as Reto has known the founder Sam for over 13 years.

Your solution: "Connect differently" instead of "build everything from scratch."

Instead of packing more features into isolated tools, they built a comprehensive process. The AI orchestrates between the tools, keeps track of everything, and suggests the next steps. Keywords, content, website—everything is based on the same context.

Media breaks? Eliminated. Users work in flow, not in tool chaos.

Try it out for yourself with the Business Idea Validator. At the moment only available in German, so you have to work your way through this with a little help from AI. 😉

In just 2 minutes, he analyzes the market potential, target customers, USP, and keywords (SEO + LLM) for your existing business or business idea.

We put our AInauten website in—and wow, we didn't get just any run-of-the-mill analysis back, but a crystal-clear view of our business.

We couldn't have put it better ourselves!

But that was only the first step, because what comes next makes it fantastic:

• The AI now knows the business plan and your offers, the best keywords for SEO, and the right questions for AEO.

• It uses this as context when writing, understands customer needs, builds website funnels according to best practices, and writes emails and social media posts.

• It writes suitable ads, uploads them to Facebook, and presents you with a simple overview of your campaign, including your expenses and sales!

No copy-paste. No loss of context. No break in momentum.

This is how marketing should work. Process before tools. Context before features. Flow before perfection. This is how it should be!

🚫 This sign immediately reveals that you are using AI ...

ChatGPT loves em-dashes (—). And that's exactly how anyone in the know can tell: "Aha, this text was generated by AI."

Example:

• ❌ "The results were impressive — we saw a 40% increase in engagement — and the team was thrilled."

• ✅ "The results were impressive. We saw a 40% increase in engagement, and the team was thrilled."

Use AI. But don't make it sound like AI. The em-dash is THE telltale sign.

How to remove dashes from your texts:

• Step 1: Go to ChatGPT "Personalization" → "Custom Instructions"

• Step 2: Insert this line: "Systematically replace em-dashes ("—") with a dot (".") to start a new sentence, or a comma (",") to continue the sentence."

Finished!

Unfortunately, it's not enough to just prompt "No em-dashes!" You have to give ChatGPT an alternative. Periods or commas, otherwise the dash will keep creeping in.

Why does ChatGPT do that at all?

Em-dashes are popular in English texts for adding additional information or creating dramatic pauses. The language models were trained on millions of such texts. And they automatically copy this style, according to one possible explanation.

Be that as it may, it sounds unnatural and contrived. This simple hack solves the problem elegantly. Thanks to the Reddit user who discovered the prompt!

You made it to the end—thanks for reading! We’ll be back soon with even more updates.
