Signal to execution
in under 6 seconds

Every trade passes through a multi-stage pipeline. LSTM generates the signal. A fine-tuned AI validates it. Risk management gates the entry. The engine executes.

01

Market Data Ingestion

6 months of 1H OHLCV candles across 72 pairs. Downloaded daily, appended, and validated for continuity.

02

Feature Engineering

16 technical features extracted per candle: returns, volatility, RSI, Bollinger position, MACD, volume ratios, ATR, moving averages, candle patterns.

03

LSTM Signal Generation

48-bar sequence lookback, 6-bar forward prediction. 128 hidden units, 2 layers, dropout 0.3. Signals above 65% confidence pass through.

04

AI Validation Gate

caelum-8b — a fine-tuned 8B parameter model running locally on GPU — reviews every signal. Disagreements block entry. No exceptions.

05

Execution & Risk Management

Kraken API execution with pre-set stop losses. Position sizing at 2% of capital. Max 3 concurrent positions. 72h max hold time.

Technical Features (16)

  • Price returns & log returns
  • Rolling volatility (20-bar window)
  • Relative Strength Index (RSI-14)
  • Bollinger Band position (% B)
  • MACD signal line & histogram
  • Volume ratio vs 20-bar average
  • Average True Range (ATR)
  • SMA & EMA cross signals
  • Candle body ratio & shadow analysis

AI Validation Layer

  • Fine-tuned 8B parameter LLM
  • Local GPU inference — 6 second latency
  • Reviews market context beyond pure technicals
  • Veto power over LSTM signals
  • Confidence rating: high / medium / low
  • Blocks overfit or anomalous patterns

Execution Rules

  • Min. confidence threshold: 65%
  • Min. validation accuracy: 60%
  • Min. 24h volume: €50,000
  • Max 3 trades per day
  • Max 3 concurrent positions
  • Sacred capital floor: never breached

72 LSTM models.
Retrained every 24 hours.

Each pair gets its own LSTM neural network. Models train on 6 months of hourly data with 50 epochs and early stopping. Cross-validated accuracy shown below.

Capital preservation
is non-negotiable.

The engine is designed to survive, not just profit. Multiple independent circuit breakers ensure no single trade, no single day, and no single failure can compromise the portfolio.

■
-5%
Hard Stop Loss
Every position enters with a pre-set stop loss. No discretionary overrides. No "let it ride." The stop is the contract between the engine and the market.
◆
2%
Position Sizing
Each trade risks exactly 2% of total capital. No exceptions. This means the engine can absorb 50 consecutive losses before reaching critical drawdown.
▲
72h
Max Hold Time
No position stays open longer than 72 hours. The engine does not become attached to losing positions. Time is a risk factor — it's managed like any other.

Latest generated signals

Signals above the 60% confidence threshold from the most recent engine cycle. Only signals that also pass AI validation proceed to execution.
