Oracle mode vs colleague mode, the 5-rule contract, the real prompts I use for specs, implementation and adversarial review, and the true timings: one day for an upgrade that halved a drawdown.

Read the article →New bar vs every tick, normalized volumes, failing orders, server-side state, idempotent OnTradeTransaction: the reasoned list of where most accounts die — and where AI-generated code fails most often.
Read the article →The five doors of self-deception, my most instructive mistake (fixed-point thresholds on gold that tripled) and the minimum defense protocol: single-vote IS/OOS, robustness, walk-forward, relative units.
Read the article →How a discretionary reading becomes measurable thresholds, the 5-module architecture of a professional EA, and the trade-by-trade analysis that cut drawdown by 47% without touching the entries.

Read the article →Two prices for the same asset, an exploitable delay, three rewrites and a −$127.02 failure documented line by line. The cost-gated v6: it only enters if the edge exceeds 2× live-measured costs.
Read the article →210,240 BTC bars, four independent tests, one verdict: 5-minute price action has no tradable edge at retail costs. Why publishing a failure is worth more than a hundred pretty backtests.
Read the article →What you really buy with a challenge (an option, not capital), the math of drawdown constraints, and the playbook from 50+ managed challenges: you pick the system for the constraints, not the other way round.
