The assistant
The position iswatched. You arenot required to be
Set a watch on a position and the assistant re-checks it on a schedule — the same conversation, the same thesis, fresh data. What changed reaches you; what did not, does not.
How the watch works
It re-checks in the session it came from
The re-check lands in the conversation where the position was discussed, so the model reads what you argued when you opened it. A watcher with no memory of the thesis can only tell you the price moved, which you already knew.
A "wait" is a condition, not a timer
When the answer is "not yet", the model names the price condition it is waiting for rather than scheduling another expensive turn. A cheap poller does the waiting and one universe fetch answers every pending condition at once. That is the difference between a watch that costs cents a day and one that costs dollars.
It reaches you where you are
A change worth acting on becomes a notification — the console, and Telegram if you want it — with a strength threshold so the channel stays worth reading.
And it still cannot act
Every suggested change is a proposal with a confirmation, and any order it produces passes the same risk gate. A watcher that closed positions on its own would be a different product with a different risk profile, and it is deliberately not this one.
The failure it is designed around
A monitor that pauses silently is worse than none
The dangerous version of this feature is one that stops running without telling you — a paused job, an expired credential, an outage upstream. You keep believing you are covered. Here, a model provider outage that produced two days of failures with zero signals is the reason three separate layers now page the operator when the flow stops.
And a re-check that fires too early cuts a good trade
A position that has just been entered is still settling, and an early re-check reading a half-filled state closed several entries that should have stood. There is now a deliberate grace window on a protected position before a close or reduce is entertained.
Questions about watching
How often does it re-check?
On the cadence you set, with the cheap condition poller in between. The budget is checked before a turn runs, not after — a watcher cannot quietly spend past its daily ceiling.
Can I watch something I do not have a position in?
Yes — a screen can raise candidates and a watch can wait for the entry condition. The loop from "the screener found this" to "a verdict reached your phone" is one click from a screen’s page.
What happens when the watch says close?
You get a proposal with its reasoning, and confirming it produces an order that passes the gate. Nothing closes on its own.
