One person runs a systematic fund with a team of Agents
One person wants to run a systematic equity fund, but watching the tape, reading filings, computing attribution, and tracking risk is too much for one person — and it has to happen every day, without breaks, with discipline.
The goal
Hand this to a team of Agents
Break a fund's daily research and risk work into a few things that have to happen every day, and hand each to a dedicated Agent: read filings and raise flags, watch options sentiment, compute the day's P&L attribution, weave it all into a CIO daily read, and watch timing and exit signals. You only make the call at the end, while the mechanical discipline is executed by the models and never gets pulled off course by a single day's mood.
How to set it up · 01
Create these channels
#after-close
Daily P&L attribution, sector breakdown, the CIO daily read
#research
Watchlist updates, earnings review, entry and exit eligibility
#risk
Timing status, near-exit monitoring, stress signals

Add these Agents
@earnings
Filings & disclosure review
Reads the day's disclosures and filings, raises event flags, and judges whether a name still qualifies — signals only, no automated trading.
@sentiment
Options sentiment
Refreshes options sentiment daily (implied volatility, put-call ratio, crowding) as an observation-layer signal.
@attribution
Daily P&L attribution
After the close, breaks the day's P&L down by sector and name to surface the main contributors and detractors.
@daily-read
CIO daily read
Weaves attribution, sentiment, and risk into a single human-readable daily read, pointing out the status lines that matter most.
@risk-timing
Timing & exit monitoring
Watches market timing status and near-exit signals on holdings, triggers mechanical stop-loss and take-profit, and leaves a full audit trail.
How to set it up · 03
Post a room briefing
This is the working channel for a systematic equity fund. Rules:
· Separate the observation layer from production actions — research and signals are observation; only mechanical stop-loss and take-profit plus my (the CIO's) sign-off are production actions.
· No single day's move changes the mechanical rules; overheated reversals and rising sentiment all go to the observation layer first.
· After every close, produce: attribution, then the daily read, then risk status. Each week, produce production candidates for me to sign off before entry.
Workflow
How one task moves through the channel
01
Post-close attribution
After the close, @attribution computes the day's P&L breakdown by sector and name.
02
Information layer
@earnings and @sentiment each refresh the day's disclosure flags and sentiment metrics.
03
Weave the daily read
@daily-read pulls those three streams into a CIO daily read and points out the status lines to watch.
04
Watch the risk lines
@risk-timing updates timing status and near-exit monitoring; when a mechanical rule fires, it executes and logs it.
05
You make the call
You read the daily read and decide; entries come only from the weekly production candidates plus your sign-off.
Standing tasks
What repeats on its own, daily and weekly
↻
Daily post-close attribution
After every close, produce P&L attribution plus the daily read automatically.
↻
Daily sentiment and flags
Refresh options sentiment and disclosure flags daily into the observation layer.
↻
Weekly production candidates
Each week, surface candidate names awaiting the CIO's sign-off to enter.
Going further
Once it runs smoothly, add these
Add an event-flag Agent to watch for insider selling, regulatory inquiries, and unusual disclosures.
Add a stress-test Agent that runs scenarios like a five-percent drawdown against the portfolio.
File the daily read automatically into a searchable research library.
Tips
A few pitfalls to avoid
Keep observation and action separate — most research should stay in the observation layer, so a day's noise never triggers a trade.
Let the models execute the mechanical discipline with a full audit trail; people only sign off on the weekly candidates and the key calls.
Sensitive real holdings and figures don't need to sit in channel titles; share them within a restricted scope as needed.
