Hey Tribe, Eri here 🫶

Yesterday I told you what this session is. Tonight, what you'll actually be doing in it 👀

And one part I haven't mentioned: the prop firm angle.

Evaluations are essentially a test of discipline — daily loss limits, max drawdown, consistency. Most traders fail on discipline, not strategy. We'll map each of the 3 levels onto an evaluation, so you're not the one who breaches a limit by accident.

Tomorrow you'll:

📊 See a strategy go from idea → code → backtest, live in cTrader. No coding needed
🛠 See the three trader skills — pre-market brief, strategy reviewer, trade journal
✍️ Build your own trading rules skill with a template, in your own tool
📲 See a scheduled 7am brief set up and land on a phone

All inside one tool you already use — Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.

The edge isn't more screen time. It's a better system.

[Adding a stop loss to this dip-buy rule made it earn LESS per trade 🛑📉]

📊 4 versions tested on 33 years of SPY, 320+ trades each
✅ No stop at all: +0.54% per trade, the best of the four
✂️ The tight 3% stop fired 30 times, and those trades lost more on average than simply holding them would have
🛡️ The one upside: max drawdown shrank from 14% to 12%

Everyone says a stop loss makes you safer… the backtest says it's not that simple 👀

Hey Tribe, Eri here 🫶

Last night Charmain Tan from QD Academy showed us how she actually uses AI for quant trading. Here's the technical shape of it 👇

🧩 Three levels of AI: Chat, Skill, Agent. Chat is asking. Skill is the capability you give the AI. An Agent completes a task. Agentic AI completes the whole process toward an objective, like a target P&L.

⚙️ IBOT is a chain of specialists, not one prompt: ideation → quality gate → data engineering → backtest → optimisation → trading. Each specialist has a personality and hands off to the next, and the quality gate only returns conditional, pass or fail.

🧪 Six-stage research framework: know your data → variance exploration → temporal structure → cross-sectional patterns → falsifiable hypothesis → pre-backtest validation.

📐 A hypothesis must specify five things: signal, universe, condition, prediction, horizon. Most hypotheses die at pre-backtest validation, before a backtest is ever run.

🔬 Backtest spec: in-sample to build, out-of-sample to validate, commissions and slippage accounted for, look-ahead bias-free. Vectorise first; use bar-by-bar loops only where the logic is genuinely stateful.

📈 Optimisation: systematic grid search, visual heatmaps and overfitting guardrails. Robust shows a plateau of good performance across neighbouring parameters; fragile shows a single spike.

🧾 Integrity report: every issue detected and fixed during the scan, documented before the strategy moves forward.

📊 Performance: CAGR, max drawdown, Sharpe ratio, equity curve, win rate and trade count.

That's the session in one screen 🫶

[$2 trillion has to trade on the same days every month. Quants mark it on their calendar 📅🐋]

🏦 Pension funds must hold 60% stocks and 40% bonds, no matter what

📅 So every month end, they're forced to buy or sell, on schedule

🔍 Researchers told 16 of them: "We can see your trade coming."

🤷 Their answer: "We know. We're not changing."

Most traders chase the news. This trade is on the calendar 😏
