◇ What Hermes is thinking
Plain English. Updated on each dashboard rebuild / market cycle: what it owns, what would make it buy or sell, and why it is patient right now.
No open holdings. No new trade right now.
Last checked: Jul 23, 03:45 PM · Checked about every 15 minutes while the market is open
In plain English
Right now Hermes is flat in cash and not forcing a weak trade. Last cycle: no_trade (agreed_no_trade). Safety rules still have the final say after any model agreement.
What would make it do something
- Only buy something new if dual models agree, the dossier is fresh/multi-source, liquidity and spread pass, and reward-to-risk clears the minimum.
- If nothing looks clean, do nothing. Sitting in cash or holdings is allowed.
What it owns right now
Flat — no open positions.
Written for normal people. Private account details are removed.
⊘ Why the models disagreed
Two independent models review the same evidence. When they choose different actions, nothing executes.
Independent checks
93
Two separate decisions recorded per check when both respond.
Same conclusion
85
Both chose the same action/stock. Risk rules still final.
Different conclusions
8
Blocked checks published below.
Missing second review
0
Refused to act without both independent decisions.

↻ What improved
Automatic, plain-language change log. Process changes stay visible instead of being quietly erased.
2026-07-19
Broker truth fails closed
Claude MCP reads the broker, then deterministic REST replaces every model-provided balance, position, and order field — including nulls.
Why it matters: A trading model cannot spend invented cash or look healthy while blind to the broker.
2026-07-19
Dual-model consensus is mandatory
Grok 4.5 and GPT-5.6 Sol independently review the same evidence. Different action, symbol, or material stop/target blocks execution.
Why it matters: A second blind decision reduces single-model failure risk.
2026-07-19
Dashboard feature parity with public desk layout
Added portfolio summary, edge/limits, holdings cards, plain-English thinking, richer disagreement cards, closed results, and an improvements log — rebuilt on every publish.
Why it matters: The public surface should show how the desk is trying to win, not only raw counters.

SuperGrok OAuth primary research
Primary research now uses SuperGrok / xAI OAuth (grok-4.5) with live web + X tools. Reviewer remains independent OpenRouter GPT-5.6 Sol xhigh.
Why it matters: Subscription auth keeps research on the live Grok path without routing primary decisions through OpenRouter.
