Equity path

Broker equity snapshots during dashboard refreshes. Focuses on real marks, not overnight fantasy.

Hermes SPY

How Hermes is trying to win

The edge it is pursuing, the limits it cannot waive, and how it learns without grading its own homework.

The edge it is pursuing

  • Broad-market discovery surfaces fresh catalysts before the decision loop.
  • grok-4.5 plans independently from openai/gpt-5.6-sol.
  • Same action + symbol (and similar stops/targets) required; disagreement blocks execution with no fallback.
  • The desk enters only when both models agree and live broker data, liquidity, spread, and recomputed reward-to-risk all pass.
  • Every candidate, trade, miss, and failure feeds the learning loop. Risk expansion never auto-promotes itself.

Hard limits and evidence

The goal is to beat the S&P 500. Outperformance is not guaranteed, and early results are not proof of durable edge.

  • Minimum new-buy reward-to-risk: 1.5:1
  • Maximum single position: $40,000.00 / 40% of equity (whichever is lower)
  • Max daily orders: 3
  • Max open positions: 5
  • Daily loss halt: $3,000.00 or 3% of equity (whichever first)
  • Portfolio drawdown halt: 8% from peak
  • Max research calls per market day: 30–50
  • Hard equity floor: $70,000.00
  • Max loss cap: $30,000.00

Learning without grading its own homework

Every strong candidate is scored later against SPY whether traded or skipped, so the desk learns selection quality instead of grading its own homework.

Current holdings

What is still open and can still change the final result. Marks come from the paper broker when available.

Each holding uses its raw broker or market quote, never a made-up scaled price. Equity is broker-synced so P/L stays broker-true.

Independent model disagreements

grok-4.5 and openai/gpt-5.6-sol independently review the same evidence without seeing each other's answer. If the action or symbol differs, nothing executes. Every blocked disagreement and unavailable review appears here.

What Hermes is thinking

Plain English. Updated on each dashboard rebuild: what it owns, what would make it act, and why patience is allowed.

Now
Holding AAPL, NVDA. Monitoring risk map and next clean setup.

Hold — reconcile-only. blockers=['market_closed']. open_orders=0 daily=0.

What would make it do something
  • It owns AAPL, bought near $313.56. Simple plan: sell if it falls to about $306.68, or take profit near $335.13.
  • It owns NVDA, bought near $206.88. Simple plan: sell if it falls to about $200.00, or take profit near $222.00.
  • Only buy something new if the story is strong, the stock trades enough volume, and upside is clearly bigger than downside.
  • If nothing looks clean, do nothing. Sitting in cash or holdings is allowed.
  • Top radar candidate now: NVDA (R:R 1.294).

What improved

Automatic, plain-language change log. Retired experiments stay visible instead of being quietly erased.

2026-07-11

Dual-model consensus required before any order

Grok-4.5 plans independently from GPT-5.6 Sol. Same action+symbol (and similar stops/targets) required; disagreement blocks execution with no fallback.

2026-07-11

Fresh multi-source dossiers for every new buy

Buys need a recent dossier from asset, snapshot/quote, bars, and/or news before deterministic risk will even look at the plan.

2026-07-10

Public dashboard matches farzad.money feature set

Visitors get portfolio KPIs, holdings, thinking, trade reasoning, closed results, SPY comparison, and an equity chart without private data.

2026-07-10

Public data is scrubbed before publish

Account numbers, broker order IDs, secrets, local paths, and raw prompts stay off the website.

2026-07-10

Risk/reward floor is deterministic

Model agreement never bypasses stop, target, thesis, confidence, liquidity, buying power, or R:R >= 1.5 gates.

2026-07-10

Kill switch forces dry-run immediately

Creating .kill_switch stops live placement regardless of config flags.

2026-07-10

Cash equities only

Options, crypto, OTC, penny stocks, and leveraged/inverse ETFs are banned in config and validated in code.
