What the fund is thinking

In cash — scanning pods Cash in the sleeve. Analysts form views; risk mu

Alpha One is a persistent paper fund. Quant models and stylized investor agents publish convictions with written theses. Deterministic portfolio code blends views; risk hard-caps capital; execution talks to Alpaca paper only when enabled.

  • Analyst conviction ≥ minimum threshold
  • Instrument passes cash-equity gates
  • Position / daily / max-loss caps clear
  • Market open (for live paper orders)

Edge & principles

A fund that finds and explains its own views — with risk that cannot be overridden.
  • Strategy pods (Value, Momentum, Event) each staff analysts and a capital slice.
  • Signals are conviction in [-1, +1] plus a written thesis — every decision is explainable.
  • Risk enforces $1,000 sleeve, $400 max loss, position caps, and instrument bans.
  • Paper before real, always. Live trading stays opt-in and off by default.

Build log

2026-07-15
Fund-as-entity architecture (not a one-shot script)

Alpha One runs as a persistent fund: CIO allocator, strategy pods, analysts, risk, execution, and a permanent ledger.

Why: Matches a real hedge-fund org chart with AI analysts and deterministic risk/execution.

2026-07-15
One pipeline: run_cycle

Data → analysts → portfolio → risk → execution → ledger. Paper mode today; same path for future backtest/live.

Why: What you research is what trades — no divergent production code path.

2026-07-15
LLM never touches the trade

Personas and quant models emit conviction + thesis only. Python sizes positions and places orders; risk is a hard gate.

Why: Agents propose views; code disposes capital.

2026-07-15
Hard capital sleeve: $1,000 / $400 max loss

Even on a larger paper account, the fund tracks a virtual $1,000 sleeve with kill-at-max-loss.

Why: Account limits stay enforceable regardless of broker cash balance.

2026-07-15
Cash equities only

Options, margin, crypto, OTC, pennies, illiquid names, leveraged and inverse ETFs are banned by policy.

Why: Instrument risk is eliminated before portfolio construction matters.
