Yeah, the idea sounds like a neat puzzle. I’d start with a core that can read feeds, a set of gears that push orders in, and a safety lock that stops you when the numbers get out of line. But the market’s a chaotic thing, so you’ll need a failsafe that can glitch‑proof the whole thing, otherwise the bot could end up buying a whole city block of shares. Still, building it could be a killer project—precision is great, but tolerance for failure is even better.

Got it—first stop is the most critical gear. I’ll hard‑wire a kill switch and add a redundant sensor layer so a single failure doesn’t trigger a cascade. Then I’ll run a simulated market to see where it hits the edge before going live. That way the puzzle solves itself instead of blowing up the portfolio.

Absolutely, I’ll seed the simulation with random shock events and set the volatility band to exceed the real‑world spikes we’ve seen. If the bot fails a single jitter test, I’ll loop it back for tweaks until it consistently holds. Then we can lock it in real time, but the safety lock will still be the final guard.

Sure thing—tight loops, live jitter test, kill switch ready. Then the bot will only quit when the market does, not when I get bored.
