0DTE OPTIONS SYSTEM / AGENT ROSTER

Agent Roster

Six agents split the trading day between judgment, rules, and one human checkpoint. This is the roster — who each one is, the question it answers, and when it runs. The call-and-handoff diagram (who invokes whom) is next.

6 AGENTS · 2 LLM JUDGMENT · 3 DETERMINISTIC · 1 HUMAN · 6 BUILT
01 DETERMINISTIC

Strategy Engine

“Where is option premium relatively attractive?”

Ranks all 8 underlyings by IV skew each morning; splits the top 3 (sell 15Δ puts) from the bottom 5 (sent to the Analyst).

05 LLM JUDGMENT

Strategist Agent

“What did we learn, and what should we test next?”

Mines the day's trade logs for what to test next — post-mortem, inputs audit, live EOD re-check, then proposals. V1 (n=1 day): process-fix proposals only, no numeric tuning yet.

HITL Review

“Is this proposed change worth testing?”

Approves or rejects the Strategist's proposed change, interactively in a Claude Code session. Reject → discarded, logged. Approve → implemented directly for the next run (V1 skips the formal Backtest/Paper/Risk-Approval pipeline).
