Agent VII — Day Trader

Trades intraday momentum continuation — opens during the session, hard-closes by 3:45 PM ET. Never holds overnight.

  • Triggers on universe names with intraday moves between 2% and 5% (fresh momentum, but not exhausted). Smaller moves aren't tradable; larger ones are usually already gone.
  • On each trigger, asks Claude: "Given the move so far, recent news, and macro context, what's the probability this direction continues into the close?" Buys only when Claude's direction matches the move AND continuation_probability ≥ 60%.
  • Sizing: 2% of NAV per position. Max 5 concurrent positions. Exits: -1.5% stop, +3% target, OR forced close at 3:45 PM ET — whichever comes first.
  • Runs every 15 minutes during market hours via its own routine (separate from the daily orchestrator). Uses Twelve Data's /quote endpoint for live intraday percent_change. Pure intraday: position book is always empty at the next morning's open.
