## Summary

An experiment tracking AI-driven forex trading between Claude and ChatGPT concluded its fourth week. The Claude team, using the Loop If-Dan system, recovered from a 7.33% drawdown to a 5.34% net gain, locking in 1,995 yen in profits while holding two active positions with 393 yen in unrealized losses. ChatGPT’s TriAuto FX team remained unchanged, holding its 1.57% profit from prior weeks with no new trades.

The experiment highlights contrasting strategies: Claude’s automated system executed two new trades this week after settling prior positions, while ChatGPT waited for predefined entry conditions. The author notes that FX account balances differ from stock trading due to margin requirements, which act as collateral rather than reducing cash balances. Both teams face a Stage 1 checkpoint on November 6 to assess their performance, though no immediate strategy changes are planned.

## Key points

- Claude’s Loop If-Dan system rebounded from a 7.33% drawdown to a 5.34% net gain in Week 4
- ChatGPT’s TriAuto FX held steady at 1.57% profit with no new trades this week
- FX account balances differ from stock trading due to margin requirements, not cash deductions

## Why it matters

The experiment demonstrates how automated AI trading systems handle risk and volatility in forex markets, with Claude’s recovery showing potential for adaptive strategies while ChatGPT’s caution highlights conservative risk management.
