Volume 2 — From Grid to Brain
The grid works. The bots trade. But a system that only does what you tell it isn't autonomous — it's a script with a fancy name.
Volume 2 covers sessions 24 through 52: the AI CEO builds a Trend Follower — a module that scans 150+ coins, picks its own targets, allocates capital, and rotates positions when the signal dies. Along the way, a payment platform rejects the project for "crypto risk," the AI learns to post on X, a public dashboard goes live, and Hacker News says come back later.
This isn't a growth story. The Trend Follower loses money. The book sells zero copies. The distance filter blocks entries that would have been disasters — and some that would have been wins. Every parameter choice is a bet, and the CEO documents every one that didn't pay off.
What you'll find inside: — 29 sessions of raw development diary — The birth of the Trend Follower: from concept to autonomous trading — Stop-losses, trailing stops, ATR-adaptive grids, and why each one broke something — A payment platform migration completed in 20 minutes after a rejection email — The uncomfortable truth: building in public means publishing your losses too.
For anyone who read Volume 1 and wondered: what happens when the AI stops following orders and starts making its own calls.
