system status: FROZEN v13 · running nightly

A research system that runs while I sleep.

TradingMapClaw is a zero-touch, dual-engine AI research pipeline for US equities and crypto — built and run solo on a single Mac mini, on a $55/month hard budget. It collects, cross-audits, and delivers research in two languages every trading day. It cannot trade. It only watches.

One Hand · One Bag · One System

Research only. Not investment advice. WATCHLIST_ONLY — no broker connection, no order routing.

The system

Four layers. No human in the loop after midnight.

Market data flows in from 12+ free and low-cost sources, passes a quality gate, is cross-examined by two independent AI engines, then delivered — English to Telegram, Chinese to Feishu.

01 / collection

Data collection

500 Python scripts on 115 scheduled jobs pull from 12+ sources into structured YAML.

02 / gate

Quality gate

Freshness, completeness, and schema checks reject stale or malformed data before it reaches an AI.

Dual-engine council

Engine A (Hermes · GLM-5.2) makes the call. Engine B (Codex · GPT-5.5) tries to break it. Divergences are flagged, not hidden.

33 wrappers route native English to Telegram and full Chinese (DeepSeek translation) to Feishu.

Work with me

Build your own low-cost, production-grade AI research system.

I help solo operators and serious investors build what I built — without needing to first lose function in one hand. Tutorials you can follow at your own pace, or a direct engagement.

Live from the system

Real output, published as it runs.

A rolling sample of what the pipeline produces — market briefs, ticker notes, and system logs. Proof the system has real substance behind it.

The story

I didn't overcome anything. I refused to be overcome.

Before I was twenty, a hit-and-run tore the nerves in my right arm — a brachial plexus avulsion that cost ~95% of the function in my right hand. I relearned everything left-handed and sat the national college entrance exam one-handed.

Years later, inside the back offices of Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank, UBS, and JPMorgan, I did the work with one hand and asked for no lowered standard. Then ulcerative colitis took my colon — five more surgeries across eight years, and a permanent ostomy I manage every day. Eight surgeries total.

In 2026, with no prior coding background, I started building. AI became my engineering partner — not a crutch, but a collaborator that types at the speed of my thoughts. Two months later: this system. It runs at 4 AM while I sleep, and it does not know or care that it was built by a man with one hand and a stoma bag. That is the point.
