AI Portfolio Automation with Claude & Signum (Live Trading)
Automate crypto and stock trading using Claude AI with Signum MCP integration. The system scans markets, identifies opportunities, and executes long/short trades automatically. Setup takes 60 seconds; backtested strategies show 7,492% profit (crypto) and 506% (stocks) since 2018.
Why AI Automation Beats Manual Trading
AI Finds Opportunities Before the Pump
Unlike TradingView automation where you manually pick coins and set alerts, Claude AI scans the entire market to identify both long and short opportunities before price moves occur. This works in bull and bear markets.
Leveled-Up Automation: Coin Selection + Position Sizing
Traditional automation answers when to buy/sell. AI automation goes further: it decides which coin to trade and how much money to allocate per trade, all based on market analysis and risk rules.
Backtested Performance Metrics
Gaussian Channel Trend Radar Strategy (Crypto Long/Short)
This AI-driven strategy has been backtested since January 1, 2018, executing over 2,689 trades. It generates profit in both bull and bear markets by going long and short based on trend analysis.
Stock Market Prompt Outperforms S&P 500
A separate AI prompt for stock trading has generated 506% profit since 2018 across 609 trades, significantly outperforming buy-and-hold S&P 500 returns.
Advanced Prompts with Extreme Returns
Higher-tier prompts in the auto-trading master class achieve even greater returns. One prompt targeting high-risk crypto assets has generated 8,417% profit with low drawdown; another reaches 12,226% net profit.
Setup: Connect Claude to Signum to HyperLiquid
Three-Step Integration Architecture
The system connects Claude AI (decision engine) → Signum MCP (market data and bot control) → HyperLiquid (exchange execution). Signum provides Trend Radar data; HyperLiquid executes trades with leverage.
Minimum Capital Requirement
The standard Gaussian Channel prompt requires at least 200 USDC on your HyperLiquid account. With 100 USDC, the AI skipped trades because position sizes fell below the $10 minimum threshold.
Timing: Sync Routine to Trend Radar Updates
Trend Radar data updates daily and takes 15–20 minutes to refresh. Schedule the Claude routine for 00:30 UTC (or equivalent in your timezone) to ensure fresh market data is available before trading decisions execute.
Testing & Execution
Chat-Based Account Monitoring
Before automating, test the Signum-Claude connection by asking Claude to summarize your account in chat. Claude fetches all bot data, calculates USD values, and generates a pie chart showing fund distribution—no trading required.
Routine Execution & Email Summaries
Once the routine runs, Claude executes the trading prompt daily, makes trades, and sends an email summary showing portfolio value, net asset value, and all opening/closing trades. You can review execution logs in the Claude Routines dashboard.
AI Handles Pair Conversion & Skips Invalid Trades
Claude automatically converts assets (e.g., USDC to USDT) if needed for a trade pair. If a coin lacks a tradeable pair on the exchange or position size is below minimum, the AI skips that order without error.
The Trading Prompt: Strategy as Code
Prompt Contains All Trading Rules
The trading prompt is plain-English code defining when to enter long, when to enter short, when to exit, position sizing, and risk limits. Claude reads and executes these rules every day. You can read the prompt yourself to understand the strategy.
Version Updates & Best Practices
Signum updates prompts over time (e.g., version 1 → 2 → 3). Always check for the latest version before copying into your routine to ensure you're using the most optimized rules.
Advanced: Beyond the Standard Setup
Auto Trading Master Class: Premium Prompts & Risk Management
The master class provides access to multiple high-performance prompts (including the 12,226% and 8,417% strategies), plus training on portfolio automation, risk management, and position sizing for different account sizes.
Manual Strategy for Major Coins
The presenter does not automate Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and a few other major coins with this AI system. Instead, he uses a personal trading strategy for these assets, keeping them separate from the AI-automated portfolio.
