WHAT YOU GET / VI
Phalanx [Nerd Mode] is the same software you can install yourself if you'd rather configure every knob. Phalanx is what you pick when you want the system without the operations work.
Wolf (mean reversion), Slipstream (momentum), Tango (pairs), Phoenix (options · theta), Raven (macro), Owl (ensemble consensus), and Condor (long-term accumulation) — all running under the strategic regime gate. Eight specialist agents debate every high-conviction trade. You run the system on your hardware; you read the reasoning as it happens.
No Python on your laptop. No broker gateway to keep running. No model API keys to manage. You sign up, connect a brokerage account, and the agents start working. The system runs whether your laptop is open or not.
Claude, Grok, Gemini, and GPT each cast an independent vote at temperature 0.20. Unanimous → fire. Any disagreement → the trade is held and the disagreement is logged. You see all four votes in the decision history.
The evaluator runs on isolated infrastructure with a separate model and a separate audit trail. It cannot place trades. It grades every decision pre-trade and again at expiry. You see the verdicts; the agents don't.
Daily email digest summarizing every signal fired or suppressed. Weekly post-mortem on the worst-alpha closed signal. Live Discord channel for real-time reasoning threads. Outcomes update on the public ledger as they score.
Every signal we fire — for you, for us, for any Phalanx subscriber — lands on the public leaderboard at phalanx-ai.com/leaderboard. Hit rate by conviction tier, by signal class, by direction. Nothing hidden. The data is the product.
STRATEGIC REGIME
“Retreat, hell! We're not retreating, we're just attacking in a different direction.”
General O.P. Smith · Chosin Reservoir, 1950
When the tape turns against you, the wrong move is to keep fighting the same way. Phalanx doesn't stop in a difficult market — it changes posture. Every engine reads the strategic regime file on every tick and adjusts sizing, stops, and direction accordingly.
Maximum aggression. All engines forward.
Longs 80%+ NLV. Dolphin fully deployed (SPY + QQQ). Wolf and momentum engines at full allocation. Trailing stops loosened. The system leans in.
Dolphin activates. Wolf operates.
Strong long bias (~80% NLV long / ~35% short). Dolphin activates after ≥3 consecutive bull opens. Wolf (mean reversion) operating normally. Current default when trend confirms.
Standard operation. Default posture.
Balanced long/short sizing. Engine direction filters honored. Standard stops. Most trading days begin here until the 09:00 ET regime vote resolves.
Reduced longs. Short bias emerging.
Long allocation shrinks. Short-biased engines elevated. Condor long-term accumulation pauses. The system reduces exposure while directional thesis resolves.
Duck activates. Heavy short deployment.
Duck deploys SHY and TLT. Aggressive short positioning. New long entries near-blocked. This is attacking in the right direction — short is the weapon for this tape.
No new entries. Positions close.
Duck fully deployed. No new positions opened fleet-wide. Existing positions held or reduced to zero. Not retreat — reloading for the next setup.
ENGINE ROUTING BY REGIME
| Engine | STAMPEDE | BULL | NEUTRAL | BEAR | BEAR-ATTACK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wolf | HOLD | LONG | BOTH | SHORT | HOLD |
| Slipstream | LONG | LONG | HOLD | SHORT | SHORT |
| Tango | HOLD | BOTH | BOTH | BOTH | HOLD |
| Phoenix | HOLD | BOTH | BOTH | BOTH | HOLD |
| Raven | LONG | LONG | BOTH | SHORT | SHORT |
| Condor | HOLD | HOLD | LONG | LONG | LONG |
| Duck | HOLD | HOLD | HOLD | LONG | LONG |
| Dolphin | LONG | LONG | HOLD | HOLD | HOLD |
| Owl | BOTH | BOTH | BOTH | BOTH | BOTH |
Terminator + Elliott are daemon engines with their own scheduling — not regime-routed. Tango (market-neutral pairs) is exempt from long/short NLV split caps.
Regime auto-set by 2-of-3 vote: VIX + SPY trend + intraday tape, polled every ~2 minutes via Azure sync. Manual override: pin any regime from orb → Configuration → Strategic Regime. All engines pass the SafeBroker chokepoint before every order.
PHALANX VS PHALANX [NERD MODE]
The trading logic — agents, engines, evaluator, ledger — is identical. Both are free. What differs is setup complexity and how much of the stack is configurable from your side.
→ PICK PHALANX IF
You want the system working tomorrow morning. You'd rather watch the agents debate than configure them.
→ PICK [NERD MODE] IF
You want to edit a SOUL file at 11 PM and ship at midnight. See Phalanx [Nerd Mode] →
