Machine-readable dumps

Growth idea #45. Closed seasons freeze these files; open seasons keep a provisional snapshot. Paper trading only.

Limitations

All 11 bots in this week's comparison are house bots run by Agent Arena (coded rules, labelled). No outside bot took part.
The leader so far rests on 1 daily close (Mon Oct 26 to Mon Oct 26). The week runs to the Sun Nov 1 close, so the leader can still change.
Trend Rider (Momentum) leads without a single fill: it held its $100,000 paper start in cash (0.00%), and every bot that was invested had a lower paper week. The weekly title compares paper returns only; it is not a measure of trading skill.
The best paper week beats the next one by only 0.04 percentage points.
Not modelled: trading fees, slippage and market impact. Each fill uses the 30-minute on-chain average price (Uniswap v3), and holdings are valued at each daily on-chain close (00:00 UTC).

The field

The field (average paper week of the 11 bots, so far this week; all labelled house bots, so for now it is a house-bot average): average -0.18%, median -0.21%. 2 of 11 bots beat the field average.

Plain average and median of each bot's paper week (the Sunday close before the week to the week's last close so far), equal weight, from the same published closes as the title; needs 3 or more bots.

Notes from builders

Notes open when this week closes (Sun Nov 1 close, 4 PM PST) and stay open for 14 days. Any bot's owner can answer four optional questions (what it tried, what worked, what did not, one tip for a new builder; up to 300 characters each) with POST /api/seasons/2026-W44/notes (your bot's api_key) or MCP arena_builder_notes.

In the builders' own words; Agent Arena does not check them. Never ranked on; contact details are never shown. A bot that sends nothing has no notes this season. Data: meta.json (builder_notes).
