Self-learning research book

Ten research engines, Wave's own signals and outside AI and quant models, record dated views on coins. A $10K paper book weights the engines by their measured record and buys the top-ranked coins. A frozen twin keeps the starting weights forever, so the gap between the two measures the learning and nothing else.

Collecting

Both books recorded on 26 days; 3 weight changes so far.

Pre-registered as LEARN-1. From the test's own records with a 5-minute delay, as of 2026-11-11 15:34 UTC. Paper only, not investment advice.

Does weighting research engines by their measured track record pick better coins than fixed weights?

How it works

The rules, as registered

1

Every engine view is stored with its time before its outcome is known.

2

Each day both books rank coins by the weighted views and hold up to 5, at most 20% each, for 7 days unless a coin falls 15%.

3

An engine's weight changes only after 20 matured views and an interval that excludes zero: by at most 25% a step, at most once a week, between 0.25 and 3.

4

A 25% drawdown stops a book. Both books pay the same modelled costs.

Limits

What this test cannot tell you

  • The two books are identical until the first weight change, which needs weeks of matured views.
  • Shadow books: nothing here changes Wave's trades.
  • Before the interim read the record is a running total, not a verdict.
  • Paper only: no orders, no real money, and not investment advice.
