T BOT is a self-calibrating, multi-surface trading system where Claude AI holds full decision authority — running live on real money, 24/7.
The Problem
Algorithmic advantage has always lived on institutional balance sheets. Manual trading loses to speed. Static bots lose to regime change. Neither learns. T BOT is different.
Institutions execute in microseconds. Retail traders react in minutes. The edge gap is structural, not skill-based.
Most retail bots run fixed parameters. Markets shift. Win rates erode. Operators panic-adjust on feeling, not data.
Traditional managed funds charge management fees regardless of performance. Subscribers pay whether they win or lose.
The Solution
T BOT runs four fully isolated trading surfaces under a single Claude AI intelligence layer — each with its own capital, env file, state machine, and kill switch. A change to one cannot touch another.
60-min loop scanning sports props, weather, and economic events. Poisson CDF on ESPN data + Claude Sonnet signal generation. 16-layer filter chain with HMAC-signed trade signals.
30-min loop during FX hours. RSI/BB/SR technical features, ATR-based bracket sizing. BUY-only filter after backtest on 252 resolved trades shows structural SELL bias in LLMs.
Fed funds, CPI, election outcomes. 60-min loop with Haiku research layer. Category concentration cap guards against Fed-funds over-exposure.
30-min loop, momentum + ATR scanner across AAPL, NVDA, MSFT and 27 others. Claude Sonnet directional refinement. Bracket orders via IBKR Client Portal API.
How It Works
Every surface runs the same five-stage pipeline. No manual intervention. Each stage has an escape hatch. Claude holds decision authority within calibration-discipline guardrails.
Market scanner identifies opportunities via volume, price anomaly, momentum composite score
RSS feeds, ESPN data, SEC filings — Claude synthesizes signal narrative per market
Edge + confidence + Kelly sizing. 6 upstream guards. Disagreement log for post-trade audit
HMAC-signed order placement. File-lock dedup. Fail-closed safety flags. Real broker fill.
Resolution, P&L, Brier calibration. Auto-rebalance fires nightly. Bankroll compounds.

The Holy Grail
We shipped v6.6.0 — the "Holy Grail" — on 2026.05.30. 14 of 23 strategy dimensions now update autonomously from data every night. No human touches a parameter. Claude does it.

Business Model
One model. One sentence. Subscriber pays T BOT a commission on profits they actually withdraw. That's it.
T BOT earns nothing until the subscriber is above their previous withdrawal peak. Losses carry forward — no double-dipping.
Commission crystallizes at withdrawal, not mark-to-market. Paper gains don't trigger fees. Only real money out the door counts.
Early subscribers pay nothing for the first 90 days.
Full terms in subscriber-docs/TBOT_TERM_SHEET_v2.md.
No subscription plans, management fees, or seat counts. Pure profit-share — T BOT's incentives are perfectly aligned with yours.
Security
Two external security audits completed. Every critical and high finding is closed. Defense-in-depth across four independent layers.
Authenticated Origin Pulls — only Cloudflare can reach the origin server. Direct IP requests fail TLS handshake. UFW whitelists CF CIDRs only.
11 secrets in isolated vault. Rotation via stdin pipe — values flow vault → CLI → SSH → env file. Never appear in shell, chat, or logs.
trade_signals.json is HMAC-SHA256 signed at generation, verified at execution. File permission 600. Injection attack vector closed.
parse_dry_run() only returns False for explicit false/no/0/off. Ambiguous values default to DRY_RUN with [SAFETY-H5] log line.
GitHub Actions pushes to droplet via SSH. Pre-restart check aborts if any .env file is missing — guards against wipe on reset --hard.
Cron every 15 min. FX pauses at NAV < $500 USD. ST pauses at balance < $500 USD, resumes at $700. Hysteresis prevents flap loops.
Audit Record: 2 external security audits completed as of v6.6.1. Round 1 addressed network-level findings (H1 + H2 + M1). Round 2 addressed host + supply chain (H3 + H5 + L5 + M5 + M6 + M7). All Critical and High findings are closed. C3/H4/L7 (root monoculture) are the only deferred items — a deliberate half-day scheduled change, not a structural risk.
Traction
Both live surfaces have been running autonomously since May 2026. Every metric below comes from production trade logs, not backtests.
Roadmap
Two surfaces live. Two staging. The path to scale is funded data, multi-subscriber infrastructure, and expanding the capital base — not new code.
Four surfaces, full isolation, auto-deploy pipeline, PM2 cluster, Cloudflare security stack, Bitwarden vault, morning brief, HMAC signal signing, circuit breakers.
14/23 strategy dimensions auto-managed. 8 shape engines. 39-test safety gate. Daily calibration burst. Notification fan-out. Two external security audits closed.
FX through 2026-07-26 · ST through 2026-07-27. Stop condition: PF > 1.0 over the 60-day window or surface gets deprecated. Weekly audits. Sunday paired review.
Fund IBKR equities surface ($200K+). Scale OANDA FX bankroll. Launch 90-day beta subscriber cohort under HWM commission model. Multi-user dashboard + subscriber state isolation.
Remaining 9 auto-managed dimensions. Root monoculture hardening. Per-subscriber capital isolation. API for third-party signal consumers. LT surface lift when n≥20 data threshold is met.
Founder
"I shipped 35+ commits in a single day to close the Holy Grail milestone. The infrastructure, the AI stack, the security model, the business model — every line of code is mine. I'm not building a demo. This is live money, live data, and a live system that self-calibrates every night."
The Ask
Capital will go directly toward funding the two paper surfaces into live production and building out multi-subscriber infrastructure. The system is already running. We're raising to feed it.
Fund IBKR equities surface. Scale OANDA FX bankroll. Enable compound growth on all four surfaces.
Premium data feeds (paid market data). Upgraded DigitalOcean droplet for lower-latency execution. Redundant failover.
Multi-user dashboard. Per-subscriber capital isolation. Automated HWM commission crystallization engine.
