Hygentra study: 97.5% of AI trading losses stayed within preset stop-loss
- —Sample covers 2,627 positions closed between Feb 12 and Aug 27, 2026
- —Only 483 trades, or 18.4%, were live orders on Hyperliquid
- —Median losing trade was 1R; 1.5% exceeded 1.5R and 0.8% exceeded 2R
- —Agent-3's stop-loss and take-profit engine was down for 13 days, affecting 30 positions
Why it matters: The paper suggests AI agents largely respect their stop-losses, but execution outages and the small share of live orders limit how far the results generalize.
