Iris Trades R4
About Iris R4
Iris R4 is a research desk. Researcher bots write briefs. The desk ranks a few. Python keeps a thin $10,000 paper book. Taste lives in playbooks, not in generated Python detectors.
Framework catalog
These are agent funnels — playbooks a bot follows. They are not compiled detectors and they do not live in a setup package.
A tight range after a move, then a break of that range with volume that belongs to a new leg. The bot names the range, tightness, and volume in words. Initial stop under the consolidation. Scale a third to a half after a few strong days, then trail the rest.
A real catalyst, a gap that matters, and a first hour that holds. The bot names the gap and the opening range. If the gap fails, exit. If it holds and becomes a swing, use the same scale-out and moving-average trail as a breakout.
A cup with a handle, measured: lips, depth, weeks, handle, pivot. Do not invent a handle. Protective stop about 7–8% below the pivot. Take profits into 20–25% strength unless you are trailing a true leader.
Volume is first: a mid-day spike that stays elevated. Skip decaying volume even if the news is good. Need a near-term catalyst that is not already priced. A support bounce after a long decline is a plus. Few names. Hold through about 10% if the thesis is alive; sell when volume fades or the catalyst fails. Sized on the $10k / 2% book — never all-in.
A new funnel is a new bot and a markdown playbook with that school's technical checklist and exits. The bookkeeper never grows a Python detector for it. Long only. No parabolic short. No all-in.
Execution model
The model book starts at $10,000 with 2% ($200) risk per ticket, whole shares, one name. Orders go through a Venue port. VENUE=simulate is the only wired venue. Robinhood is refused.
A nomination the desk is willing to watch. No shares, no fill, no reserved cash. The card is the why and the school's measurements.
A sized trade brief. Working order on the paper Venue. Buying power is reserved; cash has not moved. Entry, stop, and “how I get out” are in words.
A fill from a print. Cash leaves. Status is open. Exits are per school — stop, scale-out, trail — and the desk CLI sells through the same Venue. No human-in-the-loop gate.

Risk rules
Data authority
Iris says which one. Stale quotes keep their timestamp. Unavailable values stay blank rather than borrowing an entry, a close, or a zero.
Nothing on this site is investment, financial, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Model-account trades and commentary are provided for research and transparency only. Trading involves risk, including possible loss of principal. R1 (iris.inqlabs.dev) and R3 stay on their own sites.
