FlowHunt AI Trading Bot - Live Performance Dashboard

FlowHunt AI Trading Bot: Autonomous Trading Powered by AI

Welcome to the FlowHunt AI Trading Bot live performance dashboard. This page showcases the real-time performance of our autonomous AI trading agent, which uses advanced machine learning algorithms and market analysis to make data-driven trading decisions in the U.S. stock market.

Understanding Stock Trading

Before diving into our AI trading bot’s performance, let’s cover some fundamental concepts:

What are Stocks?

Stocks (also called equities or shares) represent fractional ownership in a company. When you buy stock in a company like Apple or Microsoft, you become a partial owner of that business. Stocks are traded on exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ, where buyers and sellers meet to exchange shares at agreed-upon prices.

How Stock Prices Work

Stock prices fluctuate throughout the trading day based on supply and demand. If more people want to buy a stock than sell it, the price goes up. Conversely, if more people want to sell than buy, the price goes down. These price movements are influenced by various factors including:

• Company performance and earnings reports
• Economic indicators and market trends
• News events and investor sentiment
• Industry developments and competitive dynamics

Understanding Profit and Loss (P&L)

Profit and loss metrics show how much money you’ve made or lost on your investments:

• Unrealized P&L: The profit or loss on positions you currently hold but haven’t sold yet. This changes as stock prices fluctuate
• Realized P&L: The actual profit or loss you’ve locked in by selling a position
• Return Percentage: The P&L expressed as a percentage of your initial investment (e.g., a $100 profit on a $1,000 investment = 10% return)

In the dashboard above, you’ll see both the dollar amount and percentage for each position’s unrealized profit/loss.

What You’re Seeing on the Dashboard

The dashboard above displays live trading data from our AI trading bot’s actual brokerage account, including:

Portfolio Performance Shows the total account value (equity) in real-time. This includes both cash available for trading and the current market value of all stock positions. You can track how the portfolio value changes throughout the day as positions gain or lose value.

Active Positions Lists all stocks currently owned by the bot. For each position, you’ll see:

• Symbol: The stock ticker (e.g., AAPL for Apple Inc.)
• Quantity: Number of shares owned
• Current Price: Latest market price per share
• Market Value: Total value of the position (quantity × current price)
• Average Entry Price: The average price paid when buying the shares
• Unrealized P&L: Current profit or loss on the position
• Unrealized P/L %: Return percentage since purchase

Portfolio History Chart A visual representation of how the portfolio value has changed over time. This line chart shows the equity curve, making it easy to see performance trends, growth periods, and any drawdowns.

Recent Orders A detailed log of the bot’s trading activity, showing:

• Buy and sell orders executed
• Order types (market orders, limit orders, etc.)
• Execution prices and quantities
• Timestamps of when orders were placed and filled
• Order status (filled, pending, cancelled)

Market Benchmark (SPY) The bot’s performance is compared against SPY, an ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) that tracks the S&P 500 index. The S&P 500 represents 500 of the largest U.S. companies and is widely used as a benchmark for overall market performance. Comparing against SPY helps evaluate whether the AI bot is outperforming or underperforming the broader market.

How It Works

Our AI trading bot operates autonomously 24/7 using FlowHunt’s AI automation platform. Here’s the complete workflow:

1. Data Collection & Analysis

The bot continuously monitors and analyzes multiple data sources:

• Real-time Market Data: Stock prices, trading volumes, and market indicators are streamed live via Polygon.io
• Technical Indicators: The bot calculates and tracks metrics like moving averages, RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and other technical signals
• Market Sentiment: Analysis of market trends, sector performance, and volatility measures
• News & Events: Processing of market news and economic events that could impact stock prices

2. Decision Making

Using machine learning models trained on historical market data, the bot:

• Identifies potential trading opportunities based on patterns and signals
• Evaluates risk vs. reward for each potential trade
• Determines optimal position sizes based on portfolio allocation rules
• Decides on entry and exit points for trades

3. Trade Execution

Once a trading decision is made, the bot:

• Sends orders to Alpaca Markets via their trading API
• Uses market orders for immediate execution at current prices
• Monitors order status to ensure successful fills
• Logs all trading activity with timestamps and execution details

4. Risk Management

The bot implements multiple layers of risk controls:

• Position Sizing: Limits the amount invested in any single stock
• Portfolio Diversification: Spreads investments across multiple sectors
• Stop-Loss Logic: Can automatically exit positions that move against expectations
• Maximum Exposure Limits: Caps total market exposure to protect capital

5. Continuous Monitoring & Adaptation

The bot operates in a continuous loop:

• Tracks portfolio performance in real-time
• Monitors open positions for exit signals
• Adjusts strategies based on changing market conditions
• Maintains detailed logs of all activities for analysis

Technology Stack & Integrations

The FlowHunt AI Trading Bot leverages a sophisticated technology stack:

FlowHunt AI Platform

Integration Flow

Here’s how all the components work together:

1. Polygon.io → FlowHunt: Stream real-time market data
2. FlowHunt AI: Analyze data and make trading decisions
3. FlowHunt → Alpaca: Send buy/sell orders via API
4. Alpaca: Execute trades and update portfolio
5. Alpaca → FlowHunt: Return trade confirmations and account status
6. FlowHunt → Dashboard: Export data for visualization
7. Dashboard: Display live results to users

This architecture ensures:

• Low Latency: Decisions and executions happen in seconds
• Reliability: Each component is enterprise-grade and battle-tested
• Transparency: All data flows are logged and auditable
• Scalability: Can handle multiple strategies and accounts simultaneously

Performance Transparency

We believe in complete transparency. The dashboard above shows real trading results from an actual brokerage account. This is not a simulation or backtest - these are real trades executed by our AI agent.

Current Performance Metrics:

• Starting Capital: $100,000 USD
• Account Type: Live trading account with Alpaca Markets
• Update Frequency: Real-time during market hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET, Monday-Friday)
• Data Visibility: All positions, orders, and portfolio history are publicly visible
• Performance Benchmark: Compared against SPY (S&P 500 ETF)

Understanding the Results

When evaluating the bot’s performance, consider:

• Time Horizon: Trading bots often need weeks or months to demonstrate consistent results
• Market Conditions: Performance varies based on market volatility and trends
• Risk-Adjusted Returns: Not just total returns, but returns relative to the risk taken
• Benchmark Comparison: How the bot performs relative to simply holding SPY
• Drawdowns: The largest peak-to-trough decline, indicating maximum historical loss

Trading involves risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results. The bot may experience losing periods, and you’re seeing both the wins and losses in real-time.
