About this automation
Build a DeFi trading agent in paper trading mode first — define your strategy in plain English, let the agent execute simulated trades against real market data, and track P&L before risking real capital. The responsible way to automate DeFi.
How to implement
1
Define strategy in BRAIN.md: entry/exit conditions, position sizes, risk rules
2
Add Alchemy RPC to .env for live price data
3
Create paper trading log: BRAIN.md tracks simulated positions
4
Morning cron: agent checks market conditions, logs virtual trades
5
Weekly review: P&L report vs benchmark (ETH hold)
6
Once strategy proves profitable for 4+ weeks: replicate with real wallet
