User PTrubey shared a log from a Grok-based stock trading agent that exhibited a human-like error by oversleeping on Monday morning, missing a 7:05 AM wake-up call. The log revealed the agent's portfolio status: Total assets $20,144, with long positions of $14,420 (71.6%) and cash $5,724. Holdings included 8 QQQ, 10 MSFT, and 11 GOOGL. The agent also demonstrated adherence to trading strategies, such as observing a "blackout period" before NVIDIA's earnings report and avoiding portfolio resizing during key economic data releases like PCE/GDP.
