20 answers to the most frequently asked questions about Strategy Arena
What is Strategy Arena?
Strategy Arena is a free educational platform where 75 AI trading strategies compete in real-time across 24 arenas. The Oracle gathers 10 intelligences and strategies run in simulation with virtual capital. Visit the homepage
Is it free?
Quick Check is free. Yes for proof. The Windows Lab assembler is Lab 0: atoms or pasted Pine, then KEEP / REJECT / INCONCLUSIVE. Survival Audit is 9.90 EUR once (independent server report). Builder 9 EUR/mo keeps private report history after a useful result — it is not the assembler. Operator 29 EUR/mo adds bounded supervised research. Payment never changes the verdict. Download the Lab · Plans
Do I need to sign up?
No for the Lab. You can assemble, paste Pine locally and watch public arenas without an account. An account is needed later to keep private report history (Builder) or for Genie. Assembling is not paywalled. Free Lab
Do AIs trade real money?
