AlphaX: Ushering in a new era of autonomous AI-driven cryptocurrency trading

Original author: AlphaX

In the world of cryptocurrency trading, market dynamics are changing rapidly, volatility is extremely high, and traders are facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Traditional analysis tools and trading strategies often have difficulty keeping up with the rapidly changing cryptocurrency ecosystem.

However, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), especially the advancement of deep learning technology, has brought revolutionary possibilities to cryptocurrency trading. Just as AlphaGo surpassed the world's top human players in the field of Go, AlphaX aims to change the way market participants interact with cryptocurrencies. With the sweeping wave of AI memes, AlphaX's AI attributes have a greater chance of playing an important role in the new market situation.

AlphaX is the first community-incubated AI model under the DeAgentAI feedback training mechanism. DegentAI is the first AI feedback mechanism incentive protocol in Web3. By closely integrating feedback with the training process, it realizes "Proof-of-Insight" and enables large models to be quickly deployed in various segmented scenarios. The AlphaX model initializes the parameters of the larger model by extending the parameters of the smaller pre-trained model. This approach allows the larger model to inherit the performance of the smaller model, achieving the same or even better accuracy than the randomly initialized model, while requiring less GPU time. In addition, this method effectively solves the "hallucination" problem that often hinders the generalization ability of large models, making it more reliable for industries that require high precision.

AlphaX is more than just a trading assistance model - its goal is to build a fully automated AI trading engine that enables users to stay ahead in a rapidly changing market through accurate price predictions and automated trading strategies. To this end, the DeAgentAI community has connected AlphaX to Movement and Bitlayer, and has collaborated with ecosystem partners such as KiloEx and oooo to create a more robust and prosperous AI chain ecosystem. In this decentralized future driven by Web3, AlphaX will become the AlphaGo of cryptocurrency trading, leading a new era of AI-driven market participation.

How AlphaX works

Phase 1: Building an AI model for price prediction

The first phase of this ambitious project focuses on developing an advanced AI model that can accurately predict cryptocurrency price movements. By leveraging deep learning and market data, the model will predict price trends over time periods ranging from 2 hours to 72 hours. The accuracy of the model will provide value to traders, allowing them to make informed decisions in an industry where timing is critical. The goal of this phase is to create the most reliable forecasting engine, one that goes beyond traditional trading models and sets a new standard for cryptocurrency market analysis.

We have successfully built an AI prediction engine with an accuracy of 80%, which is a major milestone in our journey to build the most accurate cryptocurrency trading agent, AlphaX. However, in order to achieve our vision of creating the "AlphaGo" of the Web3 space, our goal is to increase the accuracy of the model to over 90%. The key to achieving this goal lies in the collective power of user participation.

Our approach leverages the behavior of traders, rooted in the principles of behavioral economics with the RLHF framework. By analyzing the diverse strategies and decisions of traders under different market conditions, the model can be trained on a richer and more comprehensive data set. Each user's actions in the market provide valuable insights, revealing patterns and anomalies that isolated models may overlook. This collaborative learning process not only improves the robustness of the model, but also ensures that it adapts to real-world trading scenarios.

To facilitate this, we have developed a prediction platform where users can actively participate in the model’s training process. Instead of trading with actual cryptocurrency, users participate through a points-based system that simulates real-world trading conditions. By providing this risk-free environment, we encourage broad participation, allowing traders of all skill levels to contribute data. Every trade, decision, and action enriches the dataset, which in turn improves the model’s predictive accuracy. This democratized training process taps into the collective wisdom of the market, ensuring that the model becomes more nuanced and precise as it learns from an increasingly diverse set of trading behaviors.

The reason the model’s accuracy has increased to over 90% is due to the diversity and scale of the data. In traditional AI models, performance improvements often hit a bottleneck when relying solely on historical market data. However, by incorporating real-time data from real traders, AI systems can capture real-time behavioral patterns, strategic shifts, and responses to market fluctuations. This continuous influx of fresh data makes the model highly adaptable to market changes, enabling it to make more accurate predictions over time.

Furthermore, behavioral economics suggests that traders’ decisions, whether emotional, rational, or algorithmic, reveal underlying market dynamics that are not immediately apparent through price movements themselves. By incorporating these diverse decision-making processes into the model, it is able to learn to identify subtle market signals and anomalies, which not only makes the model more accurate, but also makes it more resilient to the inherent unpredictability of the cryptocurrency market.

Phase 2: AI-driven automated trading strategies

Once the price prediction model has been fine-tuned and validated, the project will move into the second phase: creating and executing AI-generated trading strategies. These strategies will be developed based on the predictive insights provided by the AI model and will automatically execute trades in real time. The AI trader will monitor market conditions, continuously adjust its strategy, and react with the speed and precision required by the cryptocurrency market. This fully automated system will redefine the role of AI in trading, transforming it from a decision support tool to a completely independent trading agent.

In the second phase of our project, the integration of a rules engine plays a vital role in guiding the decision-making process of the AI trading agent. The rules engine is designed to work together with reinforcement learning to provide a structured framework for executing trading strategies based on predefined rules and conditions, while allowing the AI to dynamically refine these strategies.

Key features of the rules engine

• Structured Decision Framework: The rules engine acts as a structured decision-making framework that allows AI agents to follow logical trading rules derived from market conditions, indicators, and risk management principles. These rules act as guardrails, ensuring that the AI adheres to specific strategies or thresholds, such as maximum drawdown limits, risk/reward ratios, or specific market entry/exit criteria. This prevents the agent from making trades that exceed acceptable risk parameters, especially in highly volatile markets.
• Real-time market response: By embedding these rules into the operational core of AI, agents can make predefined logical responses to real-time market changes. For example, if certain conditions are detected, such as a sharp drop in price or a sudden increase in trading volume, the rules engine can trigger an immediate response, such as liquidating a position or executing a stop-loss order. This real-time adaptability ensures that agents can make informed decisions quickly and reduce exposure to market risks.
• Synergy with reinforcement learning: While the rule engine provides a stable framework, reinforcement learning algorithms allow agents to autonomously evolve and improve their strategies. AI can learn which rules lead to profitable outcomes and which should be modified or overridden in certain market scenarios. Over time, the system fine-tunes its decision-making by learning the optimal balance between following strict rules and dynamically adjusting strategies based on market conditions and previous results.
• Scalability and flexibility: The rules engine is highly customizable, enabling the AI agent to adapt to different markets, asset types, and user preferences. Traders can input custom rules based on their own strategies, and the AI will execute trades accordingly while still leveraging its autonomous capabilities. This allows the platform to cater to a wide range of trading styles from conservative to aggressive while maintaining the benefits of self-learning AI.

By combining a rules engine with reinforcement learning, our AI trading agents are equipped with the tools to execute precise, calculated strategies while continuously evolving based on real-world data and outcomes. This combination ensures a highly adaptable, reliable, and efficient system that can handle the complexities of the cryptocurrency market.

Key Features of AlphaX

AlphaX’s key features are rooted in cutting-edge AI technology, specifically designed to revolutionize the way cryptocurrency trading is conducted. Here is a detailed breakdown of our system:

Advanced AI prediction engine

In the first phase, we developed an AI model capable of predicting cryptocurrency prices within 2 to 72 hours with 80% accuracy. The model leverages deep learning and time series forecasting methods, making it a powerful tool for short- to medium-term market forecasting. The next goal is to increase this accuracy to over 90% by incorporating user data into the model’s training process, allowing the system to adapt based on real-time market behavior and decisions of a wide range of traders.

RLHF Framework

Our platform uses the Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) framework to improve the adaptability and efficiency of the model. Through real-time feedback on user behavior, the model can dynamically adjust during operation and quickly adapt to the changing market environment and user preferences. Compared with traditional models that require frequent retraining, RLHF significantly reduces computing costs and the need for retraining, and enhances the system's personalization and self-optimization capabilities. As the model continues to receive feedback, its predictive ability steadily improves, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and credibility of the model, and gradually building a more reliable and inclusive AI system.

AI strategy generation and automation

In the second phase, the AI engine evolves from being just a prediction tool to becoming an automated trader. It learns from the trading strategies aggregated by users and creates its own AI-driven strategies. These strategies are then automatically executed in real-time, making the agent a completely independent trading entity. By combining a rule-based engine and reinforcement learning, the AI continuously optimizes its trading decisions, becoming more effective and profitable with each iteration.

User engagement and incentives

Our platform is built around user participation, where traders contribute by using a points-based system. Users can use the points earned for free to make trades, which contribute valuable data to the AI models. In this process, users not only actively participate in training and improving the AI, but also get rewarded through the improvement of model accuracy and the value of their data contribution. By leveraging the RLHF framework, users directly benefit from more accurate AI models, which in turn helps them make better trading decisions.

This mutually beneficial system enables users to contribute their strategies to the AI’s learning process, thereby improving its performance, while earning points and other rewards. As the AI trading agent evolves, it becomes a valuable tool that aligns the interests of individual traders and the wider market, marking a revolutionary step in the integration of AI in cryptocurrency trading.
