The Swarm operates on a 6-hour intelligence cycle. Four times per day, the full chain executes in sequence. Specialist agents run on their own schedules.
6-Hour Intelligence Cycle
05:50 BST
Shadow Matrix
Missed alpha scanner. Analyses every signal the system rejected in the past 24 hours, calculates how much profit was left on the table, and feeds the forensics directly to the Swarm for filter correction.
Repeats 11:50 . 17:50 . 23:50
06:00 BST
Sentinel Broadcaster
Full 9-point clinical intelligence broadcast via Claude Opus 4.7. Reads 97 indicators across 88 symbols, dissects every trade from the past 6 hours, analyses crime scenes with full physics snapshots, and produces a comprehensive market observation. 4 broadcasts per day build the intelligence chain the Swarm reads before evolving.
Repeats 12:00 . 18:00 . 00:00
06:05 BST
Watchdog
Account health guardian. Tracks losing streaks from peak, monitors 20-trade rolling win rate. Push alerts at 10% loss. Emergency swarm rebuild triggered at 15% to force immediate strategy evolution.
Repeats 12:05 . 18:05 . 00:05
06:10 BST
Performance Snapshot
Captures full system state. Win rates, PnL percentages, equity curve data points, open positions with unrealised returns, and engine breakdown across all 4 trading engines.
Repeats 12:10 . 18:10 . 00:10
Strategic Agents
Every 48h, 2h prior
Weekly Digest
Compresses the prior days of sentinel broadcasts, trade data, and swarm evolution into a single strategic summary. Identifies recurring failure patterns, regime cycles, and evolution priorities. Runs 2 hours before each swarm cycle so the full intelligence is fresh and ready.
Every 48h
AI Swarm
50-generation evolution cycle. Paradigm rotation is phase-based: gens 1-10 MOMENTUM_SQUEEZE, 11-20 STRUCTURE (Order Block / PDL-PDH Sweep / Break of Structure), 21-30 GEOMETRIC (Wyckoff Spring / Fibonacci OTE), 31-50 HONE_BEST which mutates the top-scoring candidate from phases 1-3. Gemini 3.1 (primary) with 2.5 Flash, Flash-Lite, and Claude Opus 4.7 fallback chain ingests sentinel broadcasts, the weekly digest, the shadow matrix of missed trades, persistent cross-cycle memory, and pure-numpy reference code for every structural primitive. Each paradigm ships a working numpy template the LLM mutates rather than reinventing from scratch. Every generation is backtested against 7 days of real data across 88 symbols with realistic fees, walk-forward validated across 3 rolling 2-day sub-windows. A peer-reviewer statically vets each candidate before evaluation runs; the post-mortem agent writes lessons to persistent memory; a meta-learner rewrites directive rules every 5 generations based on what is and isn't working. Scored by V9 Calmar + WR-50 Floor + TC-264 Ceiling + Drawdown Penalty + Per-Symbol Quality + Walk-Forward Floor. Only a candidate that strictly beats the live system on the same 7-day window takes the throne. If nothing beats it, the system holds. The decision not to evolve is itself intelligence.
