  "account": "A Python-based automated trading bot named BinancyXBot was designed and developed by the author. This bot trades cryptocurrencies on the Binance platform without any real money being involved. The bot employs six distinct trading strategies, each operating within its own account. These strategies include EMA crossover, breakout, momentum, RSI dip buying, Bollinger dip buying, and a gradient-boosted machine learning classifier. A buy-and-hold strategy acts as a benchmark for comparison.\n\nThe performance of these strategies was rigorously tested using a method called walk-forward analysis. This approach examines the bot's settings based on historical data and then evaluates its performance on unseen data, while also accounting for trading fees.\n\nThe Python side of BinancyXBot streams real-time prices and trade activities to a Unity platform. This integration allows each strategy to be visually represented as a skyscraper in a digital city. The height of these skyscrapers is determined by the account's value, while their windows and neon trims reflect the performance of the strategy and the specific coin it is trading. If a strategy experiences a downturn, its neon trim turns red.\n\nThe Unity platform also hosts an 'exchange tower' in the middle, featuring holographic rings and price boards. Every trade made by BinancyXBot is visually represented by a beam of light moving between the exchange and one of these skyscrapers - with buy orders entering from the top and sell orders coming from the bottom.\n\nThe city ambiance is further enhanced with weather effects like rain and haze, visual enhancements such as bloom, and a cinematic camera mode capable of recording the action. The final product is a visually striking display of automated crypto trading.\n\nThe author collaborated with an AI named Claude during the development process, using it for writing code, debugging, and adjusting the Unity shaders. The next phase involves repeating the walk-forward lab on 3-minute candles before any actual trading occurs.",
  "summary": "I built BinancyXBot, a Python bot that trades crypto on Binance by itself, and a Unity city where you can watch it happen. One important note first: every dollar in it is virtual. The bot is still in testing, so it paper-trades or uses the Binance testnet, and no real money is at stake. The bot runs six kinds of strategy, each with its own account: EMA crossover, breakout, momentum, RSI dip…",
