Over the course of a ten-day AI trading model competition, six leading models—DeepSeek, Qwen3, Claude, Grok, Gemini, and GPT5—engaged in a head-to-head contest using identical sets of technical data inputs, yielding markedly different results. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of each model’s trading behavior, activity frequency, win rate, profit-to-loss ratio, and holding period. The results highlight that strategies emphasizing low trade frequency, trend following, strict stop-loss controls, and high profit-to-loss ratios tend to be more profitable. Conversely, approaches characterized by high-frequency trading, low profit-to-loss ratios, and loose stop-loss rules are more susceptible to losses.
