The problem

Trading terminals are walls of panels. The decision, meanwhile, happens in sentences: is there an edge, where, how much, at what risk. Every trader translates between the wall and the sentence, all day. The translation is the fatigue.

The system

Clodds removes the wall. You type what you want to know; the terminal answers, and can act. Chat arrives through twenty-one platforms. Under the conversation sit markets — prediction markets and futures exchanges — and more than 120 skills: scanning, arbitrage detection, portfolio state, execution.

It ships as source. MIT-licensed, published on npm, cloned more than ten thousand times in its first fortnight of tracking. Nothing about it is a black box, because a black box that trades is exactly the future we wrote a manifesto against.

The scan is a message. So is the answer.

The switch

Self-hosted means the off-switch is yours: your machine, your keys, your process to kill. The system proposes; the human holds the terms. That is the company's design principle applied to the sharpest domain we work in.

A terminal you can read to the last line.
