Can AI Trade in the Real World? Meet LiveTradeBench

Can AI really make trading decisions in the messy, fast-changing real world? LiveTradeBench puts large language models to the test with live market data.

  • Live streams: Real-time prices and news—no offline backtests or leakage.
  • Portfolio view: Multi-asset allocation with built-in risk management.
  • Multi-market: U.S. stocks and Polymarket prediction markets, each with different dynamics.

Over 50 live days, 21 LLMs were evaluated. Key takeaways:

  • High scores on static benchmarks ≠ better trading outcomes.
  • Models show distinct “portfolio personalities” and risk appetites.
  • Some LLMs adapt to live signals; others struggle under uncertainty.

Why it matters: Real-world decision-making is sequential, noisy, and uncertain. LiveTradeBench highlights the gap between neat test sets and messy markets—and pushes for evaluations that reward consistency and adaptability, not just clever one-off answers.
