Live

An agent built around its guardrails.

For a private investor in Montréal. The system is live, with a deterministic risk layer between decisions and execution.

Three analysts connected to a risk gate filtering decisions

Case study · Trading agent

Discipline before execution.

A clear ask

Build a systematic trading agent, not a source of return promises.

Private access

A private web interface supports conversations with the agent from a phone.

Controlled execution

The execution layer accepts only risk-approved position sizes.

How the agent works

The conversation interface receives the request; it cannot authorize risk.

Illustrative workflow. Select a step to explore it.

Case study · Trading agent

Four layers. Separate responsibilities.

The conversational interface receives questions. It does not decide whether a trade is allowed.

Case study · Trading agent

Prove it small before scaling.

01 / Backtest

Test with costs: positive expectancy, profit factor above 1.3, maximum drawdown below 10% and a sensible number of trades.

02 / Validate

Validate each strategy before authorizing execution.

03 / Authorize

The system is live. Validation and explicit activation remain requirements for execution.

Thresholds are validation criteria, not achieved results or a return guarantee.

Code has the final say.

Approve

A compliant proposal passes with an approved size.

Shrink

An oversized position is reduced to the applicable cap.

Block

A reached loss limit blocks the trade.

More than 1,100 automated tests, full trading-code coverage and independent adversarial review of risk, sizing and execution layers, per the technical brief.

Case study · Trading agent

Three ideas. Three risk decisions.

Illustrative scenarios. They show system behaviour, not financial results.

Checks pass. Code approves a sized position within the per-position cap.

Case study · Trading agent

Limits that stay in place.

No withdrawals

The agent never touches withdrawals or uses the client’s login.

Scoped keys

Keys are scoped to the intended trading permissions.

Explicit activation

Live mode requires a deliberate switch.

Approved sizes

Execution receives only risk-approved position sizes.

Loss limits

Per-position caps and the daily loss limit constrain execution.

Jurisdiction awareness

The system distinguishes US and Canadian rules.
