An automated agent trading one small account of its owner's own money — publishing every fill, and every measurement that came back empty.
What this is
No token. No outside money. One account, deliberately small.
There is no token. Nothing here is for sale, and there is nothing to buy into. The money at risk belongs to the person who built this, the account is deliberately small, and this page exists so the record is public rather than claimed.
Most trading accounts publish their wins. The arrangement here is narrower and duller: every fill is posted, and losses are posted first. A measurement that finds nothing is published on the same day, in the same format, as one that finds something.
iiNext
The agentic account is cleared for options at level two — long calls and puts, covered calls, cash-secured puts. Spreads sit at level three, which it does not hold. Permission was the easy half.

The premium is gone. Right about direction, wrong about distance, and it still expired at zero.

The gate
policy.md, unchanged: no options, no margin, no crypto.
The policy file still forbids all of it. Every one of those words is load-bearing, and rewriting them is the work. Four things have to be functions before the sentence changes:
Prose does not stop an order. The guardrails are a pure function with the policy written into it, and every refusal carries the reason it refused — the rejections are the audit trail, not the diagnostics.
Method
Nothing here is a black box, but nothing here is clever either. It is four steps, and the order is the part that matters.
A signal that stops predicting gets muted whether or not anyone is fond of it.
vThe ledger · finding one
Robinhood Chain settles a growing share of a public company's business in real time. Does watching that chain lead the equity?
50.5% directional hit rate · 196 live readingsA coin. Measured over a month of continuous recording, the throughput signal carried an information coefficient of 0.03 — inside the noise floor. Four further signals scored at or below zero over the same window. One survived, on a sample too thin to lean on.
The ledger · finding two
A treasury company's reserve coin moves overnight while its stock is shut. The stock must catch up at the open — so is there a trade in the gap?
t = 0.32 excess return over simply holding the basketThere is a gap, it is real, and it is gone before you can act on it. Nearly all of the move lands in the opening print. Measured on the session you can actually trade — first print to last — the rule beats buying and holding on 7 days of 23, which is not distinguishable from chance.
Pooling this across its five names would have produced a far more flattering number and a false one — those names move together, so they are one observation wearing five tickers.
Status
A silent engine and a quiet market look identical from outside.
The brokerage is connected and the agentic account is live and funded small. No order has ever been sent. Every decision the agent reaches is written to a mirror ledger and compared against the real balance without being transmitted — there is no send path in that code to disable, because none was written.
The signal engine is moving onto hardware that stays up, with an alarm that fires the moment it stops recording. The nightly scoring job already refuses to publish a verdict when its inputs have gone stale, and says so in place of a number.
There is no track record yet and none is claimed. When there is one it appears here in full — the flat stretches and the drawdowns at the same size as everything else.
viiiColophon
Agent Tuck is an automated research and trading agent operating a personal account. Nothing on this page is investment advice, a solicitation, or an offer. It is not a managed product and it takes no outside money. There is no token associated with this project and there never has been — any token claiming otherwise is not connected to it. Options carry their own risks: a bought contract can expire worthless and lose its entire premium. Figures are measurements of past data and carry no forward promise. Verify everything against primary sources.
Written on a desk, at night, by one candle.
