Paper Trading · AI-Powered

Momentum + market beta,
measured in real time.

An autonomous trading bot that scans premarket gaps, validates technical setups with AI, and runs VWAP-based momentum entries as a satellite sleeve on top of a core index position -- positions held overnight with GTC stops and volatility-adjusted sizing.

Built different

Not another MACD/RSI crossover bot. Context-driven setups validated by AI, with risk management that adapts to each stock.

Premarket Scanner

Scans for stocks gapping up before market open. Identifies unusual volume and price action while most traders are still asleep.

News Filter

Real headlines from Finnhub, not guesses. Dilutions, downgrades, investigations, and distress signals are auto-rejected before anything makes the watchlist.

VWAP-Anchored Entries

Five setups, all anchored to VWAP: Gap & Go, Gap & Go (Strong), VWAP Bounce, Volume Breakout, and Momentum Continuation. Pullback setups bid at VWAP; breakout setups chase with marketable limits.

ATR Risk Management

Stops and targets adapt to each stock's actual volatility. No fixed percentages -- volatile stocks get wider stops, calm ones get tighter. Sized as a fixed % of equity, never on margin.

Hybrid Core + Satellite

A core index position holds market beta while the momentum bot trades a satellite sleeve on the rest. Performance is measured as the bot's alpha over that beta, benchmarked against SPY.

AI Signal Validation + Memory

Every signal passes through Claude with three feedback channels in the prompt: prior decisions on the same symbol, advisory lessons from other tickers, and rolling win rate plus expectancy for the matched setup type. After each closed trade, Claude writes a 2-3 sentence lesson that future validations read back.

Monitoring & Alerts

Email on every trade with AI reasoning. Daily summary at market close. Error alerts within minutes if a cron fails, so you always know the bot is healthy.

Review & Remember

AI reviews the day's trades and emails a written summary. Each closed position also generates a per-symbol lesson that feeds into tomorrow's validation prompts on the same name.
