RSI(2) trading automation with a risk gate and decision journal
Problem
Trading automation usually means a black box: you find out what it did after the money moved. The interesting engineering problem is the opposite: make an automated workflow fully reviewable before it is allowed to act.
Approach
A headless Claude Code session wakes at 15:45 ET on weekdays, checks one simple RSI(2) mean-reversion signal, and routes proposed orders through Robinhood’s Agentic Trading MCP. Every run writes down the proposed entry, the simulated fill, and the deterministic gate decision that allowed or blocked it.
Outcome
Each session leaves an inspectable journal instead of a surprise. The loop ran dry for review first and went live on a dedicated account on June 23. A side project in reviewable automation, not a professional trading identity.
