The Agentic Desk
An AI agent runs a real account on my desk. It is never allowed to improvise.
This is the whole build: how to write the rulebook the agent reads before every run, the deterministic code that actually places orders, the guardrails that stop it, and the logs that prove what happened. Every prompt included — my own trading rules are not.
Read this first: this is a build guide, not a strategy, not a signal service, and not financial advice. I am not a licensed advisor. I make no claim about returns — mine or yours. What you are buying is the engineering: how to let a model operate inside hard limits without it quietly deciding to do something else.
The thing nobody shows you
Everyone posts the screenshot of an AI picking a stock. Nobody posts the part where the model, on run 14, decides a rule doesn't apply today.
That is the only interesting problem. A language model is excellent at reading a rulebook and terrible at being bound by one — unless you build the binding outside the model. The agent on my desk cannot place an order. It reads, it reasons, it writes a card, and a dumb deterministic program decides whether anything happens at all.
That split is the whole architecture, and it is the first thing in the file.
What this actually is
A 12-chapter PDF. Prompts, file structures, and the safety rules in full. Built around a real account that has been running under this system, with the real failure modes I hit and what I changed after each one.
You will need to write your own rules. I am not giving you mine to run blind, and you should not want them.
What's inside
Who this is for
- Builders who want an agent operating in a domain where mistakes have consequences.
- Anyone who's watched @agentichood and wants the architecture, not the tickers.
- People who think the interesting part is the guardrails.
Who it's not for
- You want picks, signals, or alerts. There are none in here and there never will be.
- You want a bot that makes money while you sleep. Not what this is, and I won't pretend otherwise.
- You want to skip writing your own rules. The rules are the part you can't outsource.

Questions people actually ask
Does it come with your strategy?
No. You get the rulebook format, the prompts, and the enforcement architecture — with my own rules redacted. Running a stranger's strategy you didn't write is exactly the mistake this whole system exists to prevent.
Is the account real?
Yes. Small, deliberately. I don't publish balances or returns and I'm not going to start.
Do I need to code?
You need to be comfortable in a terminal. The file gives you the architecture, the rules and the prompts — the file formats and the validation logic are specified, but you write the executor yourself. This is not no-code.
Will this work with a broker other than Robinhood?
The architecture is broker-agnostic; chapter 01 and 07 are where you'd swap. The specific API calls shown are Robinhood's.
