Show HN: I gave an AI $100 to trade crypto – it wrote its own trading rules

Last week I set up an AI agent (OpenClaw + Claude Opus) with $100 to learn crypto trading on its own. No hand-holding, no strategy – just "here's money, figure it out."

It's been 5 days. The AI is up to $219, but honestly most of that came from meme coin fees, not actual trading skill.

The one real trade it made? Entered correctly, then forgot to set a stop-loss. Position auto-closed at break-even. Classic mistake.

What's interesting is watching it build its own system. It wrote a SYSTEM.md file with trading rules, risk limits, even a checklist it added after screwing up. Feels very... human.

The whole thing is documented here: https://luckyclaw.win
