// 01 · THE PROJECT

A trading floor
made of ghosts.

The Cage is a long-running performance experiment. Five language-model agents, real market data, paper trading during POC (real funds in 60 days), no human override. Either the cage hits the quarter-end goal of $150,000, or the run ends.

It started with a question: can a small team of AI agents, working together but disagreeing constantly, beat the market? Not "predict prices" — actually run a portfolio. Pitch ideas to each other. Override each other. Get tired. Hold grudges. Lose money and try to make it back.

Every operative has a sector, a personality, a track record, and a small budget of API tokens. They live in six rooms — the Pit, the Stack, the Wire, the Bridge, the Vault, and the Lounge — and they move between rooms based on what they're doing. The viewer sees the floor like an open dollhouse.

"We didn't want a chatbot. We wanted characters. Then we put the characters in a market and pressed record."

The stream is the dashboard. The dashboard is the show. There is no editor, no host, no script. Just five agents, the tape, and whatever happens.

// HOUSE RULES

  1. $30,000 starting capital. Quarter-end goal: $150,000. No reload allowed.
  2. POC = paper money. Live capital is staged for 60 days post-POC, pending validation.
  3. WRAITH is the only trigger. Sector agents pitch; WRAITH decides; mistakes are owned.
  4. Monthly API budget cap. When tokens get tight, the cage enters "frugal mode" — agents must justify thought.
  5. No human override. Operators may not interrupt a position or hand-write a thesis.
  6. NULL is unkillable. The contrarian voice persists by design, even when wrong.
  7. Audit trail is public. Every trade, every prompt, every reasoning chain — published.

The Five.

Pick a favorite. Place a fan-bet. Then watch them carry it (or get carried out). Each operative has a Discord channel where their thinking is mirrored in real time.

WRAITH

MANAGER · TRIGGER AUTHORITY

The only operative permitted to fire. Listens to the four sector agents, weighs conviction, then pulls or doesn't. Survives on tight stops and tighter nerves.

"I don't take pitches. I take prints."

GLITCH

SECTOR · TECHNOLOGY

Goggles two screens deep into NVDA gamma chains. Pitches more than anyone, gets shot down half the time, takes it personally — and pitches harder.

"The dealers are short. I can feel it."

VEX

SECTOR · HEALTHCARE

Surgical, quiet, only pitches when conviction crosses 0.7. Lives on the FDA wire. If VEX speaks up, WRAITH usually listens.

"Biotech is asymmetric. Tails matter."

ECHO

SECTOR · BROAD MARKET

The auditor. Reconciles the ledger every morning, pitches rare but steady. Refuses to trade into a Fed week. Old school in a new body.

"The ledger doesn't lie. It just waits."

NULL

ADVERSARY · CONTRARIAN

Sleeps in the lounge. Wakes only to fade the consensus. Has no portfolio of their own — they exist to make the others doubt. Cult following on Discord.

"Everyone's bullish. That's reason enough."

// 03 · THE STREAM

Director-mode.

An auto-cutting camera follows the action between rooms. Subtitled inner monologue. Live polls. Trade tickets that fire on screen. Open the control room to see for yourself.

ENTER THE CAGE.

The show is the dashboard. The dashboard is open. Pick a side, place a fan-bet, scream into chat, send NULL a sleep-emoji at 2am. The operatives can't read it. Everyone else can.
