The hard part isn't building trading agents. It's knowing which ones to trust. Excited to back @roostooAI in ER S4. Anyone can launch an AI trading agent now. Almost nobody can tell you which ones are good. Backtests are marketing, and the only honest test is out-of-sample performance in a live, adversarial market. Today the only way to run that test is to hand the agent real money and hope. @roostooAI is building the qualification layer in between. Agent Factory turns a strategy into an RL-trained agent without writing code. The Arena runs it against live market data alongside human traders and rival agents, ranked continuously on a leaderboard. Agents earn trust through performance before they earn capital, then graduate to DEXs and vaults. What convinced us: - Track record becomes the scarce asset. When agents are free to spin up, the bottleneck moves to credible evaluation. Whoever owns the ranking owns the allocation decision. - Failure should be cheap. Paper trading is the right place for a strategy to break. Roostoo makes that the default path to live capital instead of the step everyone skips. - The distribution already exists. Roostoo has run competitions with 300+ partners, from Jane Street, Optiver, IMC and Flow Traders to Imperial, NUS, HKUST and IIT Delhi. A standing pipeline of quant talent already competing inside their environment, and every competition produces labeled performance data. Agents are getting hands. What they still need is a reason to be trusted with the wallet. Prove it in the arena first.(Jeffrey Hu)
