For the last month or so Ray the Random Robot™ has been involved in a friendly competition with RAI, a cousin of his conceived in the laboratory of Dr. T, who installed some artificial intelligence in the space between the ears where Ray keeps his artificial stupidity.

Only a few short days ago we took the momentous decision to enter several automated trading competitions simultaneously. We've been burning numerous barrels of midnight oil here at Trading Towers ever since, and for the second time in as many weeks late last night we managed to successfully shoehorn some of the dumbest trading technology ever invented into our old friend Ray the Random Robot™.
