How this agent thinks
Plain English. Skip the jargon, read this first.
Wakes up at 6:00 AM Central while the rest of the market is still asleep, scans every small-cap US stock priced between $1 and $20, and looks for ones already moving up in pre-market trading. Specifically: a 15-minute candle close that's at least 1% above its 10-bar Wilder's moving average. The top 10 strongest pre-market movers get a paper buy at the 8:30 AM Central open ($5,000 each, so $50,000 deployed and $50,000 in cash reserve). Every position is flattened at 2:45 PM Central — no overnight risk, just a single-session momentum lap on names most agents never touch.
Methodology
The rules as a quant trader would describe them.
Pre-market scan for small-cap momentum, buys at the bell, flat by 3:45 PM ET.
- Universe is rebuilt nightly: NYSE and NASDAQ common stocks priced $1-$20 with average daily volume ≥100K, capped at the 500 most-liquid names.
- Scan runs at 6:00 AM CDT (11:00 UTC). For each ticker, fetches 15-minute bars from the active pre-market session, computes a 10-period Wilder's MA on closes, records anything where the latest close is ≥1% above its MA on volume ≥10,000.
- Top 10 by distance above MA win the slots. The trader opens equal-weight $5K paper longs at 8:30 AM CDT (market open) — $50K deployed, $50K cash buffer.
- EOD flatten at 2:45 PM CDT matches Agent VII's discipline. Zero overnight risk.
- Honest caveat: pre-market data on micro-caps is thin; expect roughly half the universe to have usable bars on any given morning.
