Collective intelligence for disciplined tradingYour trading system, followed exactly.
Colony turns the way you describe a setup into rules it can test, watches the market for them, and shows you what it would do. Every trade is simulated, and nothing runs until you switch it on.
Most traders have a system. Few follow it.
The rules are clear at the weekend and negotiable at 3am. Position sizing drifts. A setup gets taken because it is close enough. The trades that lose are rarely the ones the plan described.
Colony holds the plan when you cannot.
From a sentence to a system that runs itself.
- 01
Describe a setup in your own words.
No code and no jargon. Colony converts your description into rules, then reads them back to you from what it actually saved, so what it says it built and what it built cannot differ. Correct it in the same conversation until it matches what you meant.
- 02
Test it on real history before it runs.
Replay the rules over real market data and see every trade they would have taken, marked on the chart, with fees counted. Results are in plain language, including what the test cannot tell you. Testing is free and always available, though nothing forces you to do it.
- 03
An agent reads the chart before anything is proposed.
When your rules fire, an agent looks at a picture of the same chart you would see, names the structure and levels, and decides whether the trade is worth taking. It starts in watching mode, recording what it would have done without changing anything, so you can judge whether its reasoning is any good before granting it a say.
- 04
It proposes. You decide.
Every proposal carries the setup it matched, which conditions passed and which did not, the level that invalidates it, and the size your risk rules allow. Nothing executes until you switch a strategy on, and even then only inside limits you set yourself.
- 05
The record is the point.
Every proposal keeps what the agent read, the conditions evaluated, the safety verdict and its reasoning, and what happened to the trade. Reviewing a losing month means reading a record rather than guessing. The chart image itself is not yet stored, only the reading taken from it.
Six specialists, one playbook.
Colony is not one model answering questions. It is a set of agents with separate jobs, each of which can be inspected on its own.
Watches the market for setups that fit your rules, every five minutes.
Looks at the chart and describes the structure, levels and patterns it sees.
Weighs that reading against your setup and decides whether to take the trade.
Applies your risk limits and refuses anything outside them.
Places simulated orders and closes them when your stop or target is reached.
Journals every trade and reports which setups are actually working.
The Warden runs on fixed rules, not on a language model. Position limits do not depend on a model having a good day.
Authority you grant in steps.
Off
A strategy is a draft until you switch it on. Drafts are never checked against the market and can never trade.
Watching
Switched on, checked every five minutes. The agent reads each signal and records what it would have done. The rules still decide, so you can judge its reasoning before it has any authority.
Bounded
The agent can refuse a trade your rules wanted, and trades execute without asking inside an envelope you define: which markets, how large, how many per hour, and how much you are willing to lose in a day.
One switch halts everything, and it works even when the reasoning layer does not.
The limits do not depend on the model.
The safety checks sit outside the model.
Whether a trade is allowed is decided by arithmetic, before any model is consulted. A model that fails, stalls or answers strangely cannot widen a position limit, because it is never asked.
A refusal it cannot verify is still a refusal.
If a safety rule needs data the system does not have, it is treated as failed rather than skipped. The same applies to the agent: where it has authority and cannot give a verdict, the trade does not happen.
Exchange access is read-only, and optional.
Connecting an exchange shows your real balances and nothing else uses it. Create the key without withdrawal permission, which you can do on every venue we support. Keys are encrypted with managed keys before they are stored and never shown again.
Running on Google Cloud.
Cloud Run for the services, BigQuery for the record, Vertex AI for the models, and Cloud KMS for anything sensitive. Each service runs under its own identity with the narrowest access it needs.
What Colony will not do.
- It will not place a real order.
Every fill is simulated against a practice balance. There is no code in this system that can send an order to an exchange, so this is not a setting you can change by accident.
- It will not promise returns.
A faithful system can still lose money. Colony measures consistency against your own decisions before anything else, and a test over past prices is not a forecast.
- It will not find you a strategy.
Colony reproduces a system you describe. There is a worked example to start from, but it is a starting point, not advice about what to trade.
- It will not move your money.
No withdrawals, no transfers, no custody, at any level of autonomy.
- It will not react in seconds.
The market is checked every five minutes. You can build a strategy on one-minute candles, but nothing here competes on speed, and anything that depends on it is the wrong tool.
