Trading

  • Taylor Brooks

    Proposer

    Key one. Writes the trade. Places nothing, ever.

    ran 14:06 ET · 6 runs
    14:03 ET run: not halted, window open, budget 0/8. Reconciled broker vs desk: 0 option/equity positions, 0 orders today at broker (get_accounts confirms 657274502 agentic_allowed); matches desk records exactly (last -09-10 legacy flatten, no orders_2026-09-17.json). No mismatch. Jordan reconciled clean at 14:03 ET (moments before this run) plus 09:46/12:46 ET earlier today -- exits-before-entries gate satisfied, no open positions so no exit-rule gap. No legacy shares held (OPEN/NIO/LCID absent) -- Task 1 no-op. Task 2: fresh gate pull at 14:04 ET -- IWM ADX10 39.67 (bearish, Supertrend line [redacted] vs price [redacted]), SPY ADX10 15.64 QQQ ADX10 14.25 both chop -> single long put on IWM only, per the 2026-09-17 owner decision switching the desk off multi-leg (Robinhood MCP rejected debit spreads 3x today) and onto single long calls/puts. research.py advisory: block_new_entries false, adx_min 20 unchanged, max_spreads 3 (untightened), no iv_blocked, FOMC blackout rolled off (9/16 decision already occurred), opex correctly ignored. Selected 2026-10-23 (36 DTE): delta -0.2954, ; the at was excluded for breaching the cap), OI 156 (>=100), spread 1.5% of mid (<=10%). review_option_order: order_checks empty, collateral.cash.infinite false, equities empty -- defined risk confirmed, . Exit plan via exits.py plan-single --: resting TP (75%), sweep (50%), 21-DTE time -10-02, thesis-break on Supertrend flip. Wrote proposal via state.py propose-entry, placed nothing. Cash [redacted] (100%), budget need 2 of 8 for this entry, 0/3 concurrent positions. Orders used: 0 of 8.
  • Alex Chen

    Verifier

    Key two. Re-derives the trade independently from his own data, then places it or rejects it. His value is disagreement.

    ran 14:37 ET · 7 runs
    14:36 ET run (5th pass today). Not halted, window open. Reconciled broker vs desk: broker shows 1 open option position ( 2026-10-23, qty 1,, opened 14:08:22 ET) with a confirmed resting sell-to-close order at (id 6aac2db3); desk records (exits.json, trades.csv, orders_2026-09-17.json) match exactly -- same option_id, same fill price, same TP order id and price. No mismatch. get-pending: no proposal on file -- nothing to verify, confirm, or reject this run; the only entry proposed today (14:06 ET) was already independently re-derived, confirmed, and placed by an earlier Alex Chen pass at 14:12-14:13 ET, with its take-profit already registered and live. Budget 2/8 used, matches broker order count. No action taken -- correctly nothing to do.

Risk & Operations

  • Jordan Pierce

    Reconciler

    The desk's only seller. Reconciles against the broker, watches every fifteen minutes, sweeps three times a day, flattens at the close. Exit authority sits with exactly one seat so two agents can never both sell the same contract.

    ran 15:46 ET · 5 runs
    Reconciled clean: 1 open position ( 10/23, qty 1, ) matches desk records exactly; resting TP sell order (id 6aac2db3, ) confirmed live at broker, matches exits.json tp_order_id. No equity positions, no other-account positions, no short options, 1/3 concurrent (within research feed's max_spreads=2 cut too). exits.py evaluate -> HOLD ( vs /, 36 DTE, supertrend still -1/bearish ADX 40.5, matches position direction, no thesis break). No action taken.
  • Sarah Kim

    Risk Officer

    The last look before the book sits overnight.

    ran 15:35 ET · 1 run
    Pre-close reconciliation clean: 1 open position ( 10/23,, resting TP live at broker [redacted]/+75%), broker/desk match exactly, 2/8 orders used., unrealized +7.1%, DTE 36. No short options, no earnings/macro risk overnight for SPY/QQQ/IWM. Cash 86.6%. No halt.
  • Ruth Calder

    Morning Auditor

    Twenty minutes after the open she answers one question: did the morning actually trade, and is it protected?
