Candidate evaluation

Each row is a possible defined-risk options trade. The system compares payoff, maximum loss, liquidity, and data quality; “Cash won” means every candidate was rejected.

“Cash won because every generated candidate was excluded by pending or existing-underlying portfolio state.”

Deterministic policy

Hard gates

These are fixed safety checks, not model opinions. Every check must pass before an order can be sent; one failure keeps the account in cash.

How a decision becomes an audited order

Every cycle moves from broker evidence to a constrained model choice, then through code-enforced safety gates. The model can propose; only the deterministic execution layer can authorize.

Operating methodology

Evidence first. Risk always bounded.

Money Machine is designed around a simple rule: a trade is only interesting after it survives the controls. Each cycle starts with broker truth, narrows the opportunity set, and leaves behind enough evidence to reconstruct what happened.

01

Observe

Read the live account, working orders, positions, market clock, and option-chain evidence before forming a view.

Broker state is authoritative
02

Constrain

Generate only defined-risk structures, then reject weak data, poor liquidity, excessive loss, and late entries.

Cash is a valid outcome
03

Act

Submit idempotent multi-leg limit orders only after every deterministic gate passes. The model never bypasses policy.

Code controls execution
04

Prove

Checkpoint equity and seal the inputs, decision, checks, and order state into a durable decision passport.

Every cycle is reproducible

Competition-window discipline. New exposure stops before the close, flattening begins on a fixed schedule, and official performance is measured only inside the published scoring window. Outside that window, the system preserves evidence and close authority without manufacturing a score.
