Developer builds crypto market sensor, eschews automated trading

    I built an hourly crypto "market thermometer" from free data, then refused to let it trade

    <p>Most "AI sentiment trading" projects start by wiring a sentiment score straight into buy and sell decisions. I went through the published evidence first and ended up building the opposite: a sensor that records everything, decides nothing, and has to earn the right to influenc…
