The trading platform, currently code named Irowor, makes decisions and takes action automatically. It's not AI-enabled, it's pretty straightforward with hard-coded rules. As I finish writing that system, the structure of the trading bot will be reused for agentic AI. Because an agentic system has to make observations, decisions, and then take actions. This is like watching the market, following a strategy, and placing trades.

In the process of building an agentic AI system, I will first build the "agentic" and "system" part, touching very little on AI. There are several reasons for this. Auditability is one of them. I want to know exactly what is happening and why. I think AI is mostly unnecessary for both (1) action-taking and (2) decision-making for me at this point.
