The system
Atlas
My own trading platform. It runs on my machine and never trades without my approval. Every result is marked with the mode it came from.
DONE
Idea
A strategy written as code, frozen as a version.
RUNNING
EXPERIMENT
Backtests on stored prices with simulated fills. Useful for testing, not proof.
NEXT
PAPER
Live prices on a practice account. The engine is built; the first order is next.
NOT BUILT
LIVE
Real money. It waits until paper trading has earned it.

Last updated Sep 25, 2026. Backtest and paper results are simulated. Past results, including live ones, don't predict future results.
Build timeline
From the Atlas commit historyPaper runs can now be saved and started from the command line
Paper trading halts on stale prices, feed gaps, or a disagreement with the broker
The live broker server is refused in code; only the confirmed demo account is allowed
The paper engine replays 16 stored backtests and gets the same results
Process reset after the docs outgrew the code (about 41,000 lines against 18,000); CI and executable checks added
Atlas rebuilt from scratch as atlas-next
First version of Atlas started
