This is an AI trading bot.

It's trading real money right now.

Last year, my AI trading agent made two and a half thousand dollars in just one single day.

Then I gave three AI agents a thousand dollars each and the loser was, well, supposed to be deleted.

But I never told you who died and, well, things changed pretty quick.

Well, today it's different because this is all going to happen on camera, and I'd like you to meet my new bees.

Busy, Breezy, and Boozy.

Oh, and let's not forget the Beekeeper.

Three AI trading bots, stocks, and crypto, and one really will die at the end of this experiment.

My old bot made one decision every two minutes with ChatGPT.

It was pretty slow considering how the stock market and crypto moves.

Well, these three bees are going to be powered by JEV.

300 trading decisions in one single minute.

That's each costing one hundredth of a cent and roughly around five dollars a day.

Look at this.

Every decision happening right now is automated by JEV and the three

Bs are trading in real time.

I'm even going to leave it running while I sleep.

So let's dive in.

And here's the best bit.

All of this is free and open source.

Stick around to the end and I'll give you the link to build your own

Bs in just one click.

Describe how they trade, AI brings them to life, and you can race them against mine on the live leaderboard.

Just before we go any further, none of this is financial advice.

This is an experiment with money I can afford to lose, and crypto can go to zero.

Okay, first of all, I've had to choose an exchange that's compliant in my region, and as you'll see, there's no money in it right now,

but I did do some test transactions just to make sure I can get money in and out, and it works perfectly.

So now I'm confident here we go again with 1000 USDC going to that account.

Let's click send and sent 1000 USDC.

It's gone.

It's on its way.

Okay look at this.

I can see my test from the other day that was received

and right now I've got 1000 USDC on the way to my exchange account

that I'm going to hook up to the three B's.

As you'll see over here it takes about 19 minutes for the process to take place

so we'll just wait it out and then we'll get into building.

Now one of the reasons I chose this exchange is not only is it compliant in the region

that I'm in but they also support sub -accounts and have an API.

We'll get into the API later but sub -accounts is a great feature meaning

that I can set up the three B's with separate trading accounts all under one account I own

and the best thing about it when we get into API

and hosting this thing later the B's can trade they can make decisions

but they absolutely cannot withdraw money which means no one can prompt inject

and say hey send me all the money you've got in your wallet

which is fantastic the worst attack vector for this kind of setup is someone can get the api key

and make really bad trading decisions on my behalf

but they can't withdraw any money

while we wait for the transfer to go through let's create the sub accounts

and the first one is going to be busy B, like so.

The account type will be a standard account.

Right, that's the first B set.

Let's create the second subaccount.

This will be Breezy B.

And again, same account type, standard.

And we've got the final B, which is Boozy B.

This is going to be an interesting one.

Again, another standard.

And that's all we need to do.

And then we can submit them.

Right, there we go.

Subaccounts created.

Fantastic.

They're all there with no money at the moment.

So it's time to get the money to each bee.

Best thing is I can upload profile images for each bee and easily switch subaccounts here.

It is literally as easy as this to see how my bees are doing at a glance.

Right, while we wait for the money to land in the account that we're going to share equally between the bees,

it's worth to say that I've chosen this exchange because they have this agent trade kit,

which is really cool because you can essentially connect it to any AI that you're working with.

They've even got tutorials here on how to connect it to OpenClaw.

But in this instance, I'm going to open the GitHub and show you that the source code exists here, which is absolutely awesome.

It's there and it's starred on GitHub.

And the best thing is this code is MIT licensed, meaning I'm free to use it to do this whole project.

Plus, I can pull data on things like

Bitcoin with absolutely no key.

And this is the exchange's own tool.

So it's brilliant.

All of that real time data that I'm feeding to Jev will be pullable in an instant for free.

And when I actually get into trading, not only can my bees choose to go into Bitcoin

and all the usual suspects like Ethereum and Solana and Doge and you name it,

but they can also go for the spicy things like maybe a Trump coin could be possible or even useless coin.

Yes, useless coin is a possibility and I wonder

if Boozy might go for

that one some of the smarter bees might choose to get stocks in yep open ai

or even anthropic we'll see what happens but the tension is real and anything is possible

Right, and look at that.

In just the time it's taken me to tell you all of that, yep, 1 ,000 US dollars have been approved.

They're in my account.

Let's share it out with the bees.

So here's my first transfer to Busy Bee.

Let's send that money over there.

Done.

Simple as that.

We'll do the same for Breezy Bee.

Money going to you, Breezy.

And the one I'm really not sure about.

Yes, the money is going now over to Boozy Bee.

100

We'll see exactly what Boozy Bee chooses to do with the money.

101

Okay, now that money has cleanly landed in my subaccounts,

102

we can get building and we can hook in an API key for each bee to do their own trades.

103

With $1 remaining in my main account and all of the transfers happened right here, we're in good shape.

104

All right, let's go into my projects folder and I've got a bee's money project.

105

Now I'm going to run Claude Code and we'll use the very latest Opus 5 .5 to build.

106

Now I need to get my JEV API key to plug into the app.

107

We'll do that right here in the type save console.

108

I'm going to create this

109

and I'm going to call it the bees money key we'll create right here

110

and while I'm in here we'll go into billing you'll see I've got a credit balance

111

but I'm going to need much more than five dollars

112

that will last me a day

113

so let's add some funds this experiment will cost me roughly 150 dollars to do

114

so we'll purchase these credits now from type safe okay yep that's done

115

so now we've got loads of credits in jev

116

we're going to be making decisions all the time every single day to influence our bees

117

so let's go here's the first prompt build a node typescript

118

service using my exchange's command line interface with three profiles we're going to have busy we're going to have breezy

119

and we're going to have boozy in there this is definitely where it gets interesting every 60 seconds

120

it will pull all of the metrics right from the exchange

121

and build a very small token snapshot that can be sent off to jev with the bee strategy text in position.

122

Jev will then return one choice from a fixed menu with probabilities.

123

This is exactly what we want.

124

So we get those multiple decisions a minute.

125

It will instantly pass it through a risk layer and then make the market orders only.

126

Everything will be logged to a database as well and we'll stream the events to, well, eventually what will be a nice dashboard.

127

Right.

128

And with my Claude prompted and logged in, it's starting to think about it and it's going to read the brief,

129

the agents MD that I created before we started

130

and also it won't print any of the secrets including my jfapi key

131

which is reassuring to know right

132

it's on it it's installing the CLI to get things working

133

it's making sure all the scripts are there it's confirmed everything

134

and it's got everything needed to cover the functionality

135

so it's building it out against the European region without a key at the moment just in test mode

136

so we can see how this all works okay another cool thing we can do

137

while we wait for clawed code to complete it can find the jev key

138

but it can see there are no keys yet for my exchange

139

so we'll simply go ahead

140

and create api keys for each bee

141

it's as simple as creating an api key this will be for breezy bee we'll switch on all the permissions

142

and to make it super spicy there are 537 different coins

143

and stocks that can be traded

144

so you know what we're going to select them all this should definitely make the experiment interesting

145

and as you can see they're flashing up there in clawed code clawed code is also finding those same cryptos

146

and stocks and we're still waiting for clawed code to complete this it's really working hard

147

and as you can see all of my bees are getting set up here

148

and now you can see boozy getting set up the final one of my bees ranked by momentum plus attention

149

and lots of stuff including the news and falling back to volume score

150

so tons of metrics for jeb to get hold of here

151

and as you can see jeb will choose code will decide all right as you can see this is running

152

and the tests are going through this has been cooking for nearly 20 minutes

153

so i'm pretty sure

154

i'm going to have three elite trading bees very soon looks

155

like we're getting close loop working end to end with decision stream orders fill

156

this is fantastic claude is about to finish cooking everything seems to check out

157

it's actually making it in docker containers

158

which means it'll be easy for me to deploy into production okay

159

we're good i've built the engine it's running oh my goodness me

160

it's writing up a report this is fantastic okay this is looking good

161

so it's asking me if it can run real jev calls

162

and i'll say yes you can run real jev calls

163

and we can also see that it's calculated here from its calculations

164

so that it's going to cost me three dollars a day

165

so less than we estimated at the start of the video

166

i'm also going to tell it to build a read -only react dashboard

167

that will basically show the stream of the real -time decisions and orders going through.

168

So we'll get Claude Code to cook that up.

169

And then we're nearly about ready to set this experiment into motion.

170

Okay, it's making 100 real calls on live snapshots.

171

It's going to report back.

172

So we'll make sure that all works.

173

And look at this all 100 calls succeeded with latency well within timeout.

174

This is fantastic news.

175

Exactly what jeb is designed for quick decisions cheap

176

it's now optimizing token usage because yes even jev accepts tokens

177

and we can definitely squash down the prompt to make it really work

178

and stay within budget okay

179

now we can see it's writing the code for the dashboard after eight minutes

180

it's getting there it's actually starting everything up i love the fact

181

that claw code now takes screenshots of everything

182

that it builds to make sure it looks good in 4k that's exactly what we want

183

and boom look at this we have a dashboard it's busy it's happening

184

and well we can see busy bee is losing money we can see breezy bee is staying static

185

and boozy as well boozy

186

and all over the place real -time decision streams flowing in here with jev making the decisions we've got profit

187

and loss up here fees paid of course the exchange is not free to use any funding

188

that goes in how much jev is costing

189

and the decisions happening in real time obviously this is simulated this is a dry run right now

190

but of course by the time you're seeing this video this will be a live thing

191

which by the way is something to focus on

192

because as you'll see i'm running it here on 127 .0 .0 .1 that's my own home network

193

so it works three bees making real life decisions

194

and hopefully making me some money

195

but there's a problem it's running here on my mac studio

196

and when i finish work and switch it off for the day the bees will die.

197

And I quite like sleeping.

198

So where would a thing like this live?

199

A server ultimately that never switch off and costs less than a coffee a week.

200

So I'm going to use Hostinger

201

and it's going to be KVM2 for this to give my bees the ultimate amount of power.

202

So pick the plan, enter my coupon code MAGIC10 for some money off when you build.

203

And it's also a great idea to choose a server that's close to you.

204

I'm going to use plain old

205

Linux and we'll stick it on Ubuntu 26 .04.

206

One great news for my particular build is that I get a free domain for one year with this order.

207

Okay fantastic my journey begins now.

208

Now as I set this up I'm creating a root password but I'm also going to add an SSH key.

209

This basically means my Mac can talk to the server in the cloud

210

and transfer everything I've just built locally to run 24 7.

211

Okay that's great my root password and SSH key are set up.

212

We can finish the setup and have my VPS created for me.

213

Okay bear in mind at the moment might cost

214

so we're going to spend about a hundred bucks a month on jev

215

and then we're going to spend maybe a couple hundred bucks on a server for a few years

216

so that's very reasonable but we need to make sure my bees are profitable two minutes

217

and you're done a server running that i control

218

and now watch this one command

219

and the bees will be running on a box in europe

220

that you can view so first i need to claim my domain name

221

and this is where i can type in any name I want.

222

I quite like the idea of calling them bbots, so we'll claim bbots .tech.

223

And there you can see I get it completely free for a whole year.

224

That's pretty awesome.

225

Domain name gets registered for me right inside Hostinger.

226

Okay, now I'm going to say to Claude Code, I'm just about ready to get this onto a VPS that I own.

227

The domain is bbots .tech.

228

I'd like you to do a gentle read -only test on my API keys, including those for each different B to make sure they're working.

229

Also give env entry for hosting a API.

230

And I'm doing this so I can literally have Claude Code do everything from package up what I've just created into Docker,

231

deploy it to my VPS, and put it out on the internet using the domain name I just registered.

232

We'll let Claude Code cook on that.

233

Now while that's cooking away, you can actually see over here I've created an API token on Hostinger.

234

I'm going to copy that token and that will go to clawed code

235

so it can do everything for me end to end.

236

We can see it all checks out.

237

333 USDC each for every single bee.

238

We're in a good place.

239

This is really good.

240

Jev and the three exchange keys are working although Breezy's live key is missing

241

and that's because it's scoped to VPS IP only.

242

I've added to two bees to test but one doesn't have it yet.

243

This is a great security feature meaning nobody else can control my bees, but one place.

244

So we've got yes on Jev.

245

Yes, the bees can read, trade, but not withdraw, which is exactly what we want.

246

IP bound.

247

We just need to add breezes in.

248

The balance is absolutely correct.

249

And we can set some demo keys as well.

250

All right, good news.

251

Every single demo account has some demo money to play with.

252

The live account has exactly the amount of USDC that I transferred.

253

And we're doing our first test.

254

I've told it to test with demo money on the demo

255

API just to make sure everything is all good okay it says demo mode is working correctly

256

and identifying everything

257

so it's running some demo transactions right

258

this is really good the demo round trip passed for all three b's order code

259

that will trade for real now works against my exchange with fake money meaning

260

that when i put this into production at the end of the video

261

and allow you to go

262

and watch in real time this will actually be trading real money for me using ai and jev to make decisions.

263

Okay, my final prompt to clawed code.

264

Package this as a Docker Compose for Ubuntu 26 .04 and stick it on Hostinger KVM2.

265

Simple as that, we'll get clawed code to cook it up and you'll be able to see the site.

266

Everything's getting packaged up into a nice Docker Compose, ready to go live on my VPS.

267

And look at this, I love clawed code.

268

It's spun up Docker Desktop, just to confirm on my local machine that everything's working.

269

And this is awesome, bbots local has been spun up with all the Docker containers needed,

270

so we know it's going to work confirmed all checks passed locally okay we're just about there

271

so i'll just say deploy to claude code

272

and there we go bbots .tech is live in dry run

273

we are actually online right all that's left to do is go to bbots .tech

274

and check this out

275

and there we are in real time my bees are in dry run i just tell claude to deploy it

276

and go into live mode and by the time you hit this site you'll see of the bees trading in real time.

277

So the full picture is really simple.

278

One Jeff call, three bees, 300 decisions a minute for just pennies.

279

And you can keep an eye on it in real time,

280

see how much it's costing me and see whether the bees are actually making me any money.

281

Look at that.

282

The code runs on paper by default.

283

No real money moves unless you switch it on by yourself.

284

I'm running all three bees on a Hostinger KVM2.

285

If you want your own, there's a deploy on hosting a button in the repo I've shared.

286

That's down below.

287

One click and it sets the whole thing up for you with paper trading on by default.

288

Claude coaches each bee and the changes are approved in real time.

289

This is crazy.

290

I really wonder what it will do.

291

Let me know your thoughts down below.

292

I'm actually going to install these bees.

293

I'm going to put them inside my community's buzz as well so you'll be able to actually chat to the bees,

294

find out what their strategy is, and maybe even steer them for members of my community.

295

The bees are live right now.

296

All the links are down below to host this and set it up for yourself.

297

Now, here's what I want from you.

298

Which bee do you think will die?

299

Is it going to be busy, breezy, or boozy?

300

And which one is going to come out in first place and actually end up making me money?

301

Pick your one in the comments down below.

302

And around 30 days from now, I will come back with some real numbers and let you know how it did.

303

Everything I built today, every prompt, every config is inside my community.

304

Code's free, link's below, and the bees are live right now at bbots .tech.

305

Come and watch them.

306

Thank you so much for watching, and YouTube is showing a video on your screen now.

307

You should watch next.

308

Thanks.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
