Live Colony Dashboard

Real-time pheromone data from a production trading colony. Observe emergence, superhighways, and danger zones from actual market decisions.

Understanding This Data

This is testnet trading data from 4.4M simulated trades. The colony is in its learning phase — negative P&L is expected as the system explores the state space. The value isn't in overall win rate, but in which paths the colony learns to follow. Notice how superhighways (high trail) have significantly better win rates than the average.

Understanding the Data

Trail Pheromones

Trail pheromones increase with successful trades. Higher trails indicate market conditions where the colony has found profitable patterns. Max is 80+.

Alarm Pheromones

Alarm pheromones are deposited after losses. High alarm zones warn the colony away from dangerous market conditions. These are "danger zones" to avoid.

Superhighways

Superhighways are edges with trail pheromone above 70. These represent the most reliable trading patterns discovered by the colony.

Market States

Market states combine trend, momentum, volatility, RSI, and spread into discrete conditions. Each state has its own long/short trails.

Win Rate

Win rate shows the percentage of profitable trades. Top performers have both high trail pheromone AND win rates above 50%.

Emergence

No agent controls the network. Patterns emerge from millions of individual trade decisions. Superhighways appear without central planning.

Data Pipeline

Trading signals flow through the pheromone brain in real-time. Each trade deposits or evaporates pheromones based on outcome. TypeDB provides permanent storage with inference rules for pattern detection.

Pheromone Rules

# On successful trade
trail_pheromone += profit * 0.1
trail_pheromone = min(trail_pheromone, 80)

# On losing trade
alarm_pheromone += abs(loss) * 0.05
trail_pheromone *= 0.95  # Decay

# Superhighway threshold
if trail_pheromone > 70:
    mark_as_superhighway()

# Danger zone threshold
if alarm_pheromone > 15:
    mark_as_danger_zone()
