The AI Council takes its seat.

Our newest system puts every trade on trial: one AI builds the case, a second one attacks it, and a deterministic judge rules. Only ideas that survive cross-examination reach the broker.

TSMC Is Printing Money on AI, and the Market Is Still Sleeping on It

04 · The Method

Paper first. Real money last.

I

Alpha discovery

New strategies trade $10,000 paper books with cheap margins. Most fail here. Failures are retired in public, not deleted.

II

The proving ground

Survivors are re-run under real broker margins and realistic constraints - what a genuine $10K account could actually hold.

III

Real money

Only a proven book touches the live IBKR account - one micro contract, hard loss caps, and a kill switch. Currently standing by pending a forward test.
