One trader, amplified.
115 is a personalized trading harness — a software layer built around a human trader. The trader brings judgment and edge; the harness brings research, execution, risk, operations and institutional memory, so one person can run a real book the way a desk of many once did.
Point it at a single trader, or scale it across a multi-node desk. The harness is the same either way: one engineered stack that turns a person’s edge into something that runs continuously and consistently, and that keeps a record of why it did what it did.
We believe the strongest systems keep a human in the loop, and we mean something specific by it. Software handles speed, consistency and scale. The trader handles judgment, context, and the calls a backtest cannot make. Automation buys reach, not authority — a thing that can be wrong should never be the last checkpoint before the market.
We trade our own book. That independence is why we can move quickly, stay honest about what is not working, and publish a search that returned nothing. It is also why there is no sales motion anywhere on this site: there is nothing here to buy, and pretending otherwise would cost us the only thing this page is trying to establish.
115 is in pre-alpha — a research preview. We are hardening the harness before it is anything more, and we would rather say that plainly than let a polished website imply otherwise.
Four rules we do not bend.
These are not values on a wall. Each one is enforced somewhere in the system, and each one has cost us something at least once.
Nothing reaches the market without a person who is answerable for it.
A result measured on data the model was fitted to is not a result.
Spread, slippage and fees are attached from the first run, not the last.
The desk asks for today's stop at the start of the session, and says so in amber when there isn't one.
The short list, so nobody wastes a note.
Stated up front because it is more useful than a polite reply three days later.
