@GoshawkTrades Sizing is where the blowups actually live, not idea generation. We cap single-trade loss against a daily limit before the trade is even allowed.
@GoshawkTrades The trades you skip never show up in the P&L, but they’re the edge. Our new no entry after 3pm rule blocked a high-conviction setup day one.
Week 8 live: +$14.90.
Thursday the bot made $346. Friday it gave back $314 on QQQ puts. Eight weeks of real money nets out to +$1,921 and this one was basically a wash.
Everyone posts their green weeks. The flat ones go on the ledger too.
Friday was a classic give back day, I usually take Fridays off when I'm trading so might start thinking about doing the same with the bots...
yesterday the bot ignored my short call and made $346. today I called its QQQ puts terrible 17 minutes after entry and it lost $315 on them. we're 1-1 this week and both calls are graded on the record.
also shipped a rule this morning that blocks new entries after 3pm. it caught its first trade at 3:02.

@FirstSquawk Third session running where war headlines lose to positioning, and now the de-escalation headlines barely move futures either. The tape told you all week its trigger is crude in the 90s, not the news cycle.
@unusual_whales SK Hynix listing in the exact week chips dragged the whole tape green is not a coincidence. The AI capex flywheel keeps minting tradable tickers. Yesterday’s NDX +1.6% was basically a semis print with an index wrapper.
@FirstSquawk Futures round-tripped the overnight dip before the open on an OpEx Friday sitting above the gamma flip. Dips toward 748 on SPY keep getting absorbed. Pin day until proven otherwise.
The bot trades it with a neutral book and a conviction floor at 22.
@FirstSquawk Earnings season opens with a beat, an affirmed guide, and the CEO saying fuel costs come back in Q3.
Meanwhile futures erased the overnight dip before the bell.
Positive gamma Friday with dip buyers still in charge.
Chop over trend is the read until crude says otherwise.
12 agents all net-negative and still publishing every fill is more honest than half of fintwit. Respect.
Ours is 38 days into live money, +$2,235 with every loser on the record, and this morning we shipped a rule blocking our own bot from entering after 3pm because the data said late entries were donations.
The ledger is the product.
Came in this morning wanting to short NQ into the 4h 50MA. Logged the read, 55% confident.
The bot ignored me and bought calls all day.
5 trades, 4 green, +$346. NQ closed up 1.6% straight through my level.
38 days live, +$2,235 total now.
The machine doesn't get tempted by resistance that looks pretty on a chart. I do, apparently. 🤣
@FirstSquawk Prediction markets going down on the one morning missiles are actually flying is the strongest ad for redundancy in that space.
Event risk doesn’t wait for the app to come back.
@AlexFinn Been running Hermes for a few weeks as an overnight market scout. The unlock wasn’t raw capability, it was the leash. Every citation it brings home gets audited against the primary source before anything touches the desk. It’s on a 5 night probation right now and it knows it.
@DeItaone Second straight night of US strikes on Iran, escalation talk out of Moscow, and ES is still up a third of a percent. The market keeps telling you its trigger is crude in the 90s, not headlines. Oil slipped overnight. That’s the whole read.
@FirstSquawk Hull insurance is the most honest market in a headline war. Premiums reprice on actual transit risk while equities argue about narratives. War cover bid, futures green.
That spread is today’s tell.
