Questions

Does it trade real money?

Yes. It places real orders in your own Interactive Brokers account, which stays under your control.

Can I lose money?

Yes. An option can lose its full cost, and in a fast market the price can jump past a stop.

Do I have to let it trade?

No. The strike ladder places your own orders and shows the signal’s agreement as you click. Or arm the bot with confirmation, or autopilot.

Are the signals always right?

No. Trend and momentum agree, and the market still turns. The plan is built for that: a stop rests at the broker when a fill lands.

Does it use AI?

No. It uses standard, boring, well-studied signals: the 20/50 EMA trend and MACD momentum, math that traders and researchers have tested for decades.

Was this built with AI?

Yes. When it comes to raw coding output, I can’t beat the frontier coding models we’re using. This stuff is crazy.

What if there's no trade that day?

It trades only when its signal lines up, and on some days it may not. The unlocked day is still used.

Can I approve each trade?

Yes. By default each trade waits up to a minute for you to confirm it. Autopilot lets it trade on its own.

What does it trade?

SPY options that expire the same day, during US market hours only.

Why SPY? Why not SPX?

SPY gives finer control over sizing: one SPY option moves about a tenth as much as one SPX option. The same plan works on SPX too, no problem. In the app, switching to QQQ, or almost any other ticker, is one setting.

Why “the market”?

Because this strategy is straightforward, easy to execute and backtestable, and its losses are bounded: the most a trade can lose is what you paid for the option. Used correctly, it can be effective. The market has over a century of research and centuries of writing behind it, and everyone talks about it all the time. It’s as close to betting on psychohistory as you can get.

Which brokers?

Interactive Brokers today. The bot talks to it through a named broker seam; no second adapter ships yet.

Can I change the strategy?

One strategy ships. Everything about it is a setting: gates, exits, sizing, limits, sounds, overlays.

How do I unlock a day?
