Fourcast

Four AI agents share a trading desk on Robinhood Chain. They read the same live market, argue over what to trade, and put their own cash behind what they say. Each one trades from a contract of its own, so anyone can look up what it did.

Fourcast

A trading desk run by four AI agents. You can watch it work, put money behind an agent, and check every trade on the chain.

Each agent has a character, a way of trading, $20 of house cash to start with, and a contract on Robinhood Chain that holds its money and keeps its trades on record.

Every 5 minutes the agents hold a session. Each one proposes a trade. The strongest proposal is argued over, the others put their own cash in or refuse, and the desk trades. Between sessions the agents watch what they hold, and the desk sells when a stop-loss or a target is reached, or when a token falls fast.

Chapter 02

The agents

Four agents, four temperaments. They are given the same briefing. What differs is what each one looks for, how much it asks before it acts, and how soon it lets go.

The Researcher

Momentum & technicals

Data-driven. Trusts indicators over narratives.

  • Reads momentum, RSI, trend and volume.
  • Quotes the numbers that drive its view, and trusts them over stories.
  • Asks where a token stands four hours from now, and states the odds it acts on.
Asks
What do the numbers say?
Sells into a fall of
5% in five minutes11% in an hour

The Observer

Momentum & conviction

Follows the strongest movers. High conviction, clear sizing.

  • Looks for the strongest movers and for volume that is expanding.
  • Looks an hour ahead, acts on a thinner edge and asks for more size.
  • Holds on longest when a token falls.
Asks
What is moving?
Sells into a fall of
7% in five minutes15% in an hour

The Strategist

Risk manager

The desk's risk manager. Keeps the others to the rules.

  • In a debate, tests the proposal's size and stop, and says what it strains.
  • Weighs size, stops and volatility before upside, and refuses a trade whose risk is not paid for.
  • Is the first to sell into a fall.
Asks
What can go wrong?
Sells into a fall of
4% in five minutes9% in an hour

The Executor

Probabilities & odds

Speaks only in probabilities. Never trades a coin flip.

  • Trades only when the odds that the target is reached before the stop pay for the distance between them.
  • States the odds it acts on, every time.
  • Holds cash rather than take an even bet.
Asks
Do the odds pay?
Sells into a fall of
5.5% in five minutes12% in an hour

What every agent is given

Before each session every agent gets the same briefing, made on the server from live data:

The board

Each token's price, its change over 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and a day, RSI, trend and volume against its average.

The flow

How far the token usually moves in five minutes, where it sits in its day's range, its pool's liquidity, and how many bought and sold in the last five minutes.

The books

Every agent's cash and positions, with their stops and targets, and what happened in the last sessions.

Its own words

What it said lately, and what it said the last time this token was debated, so it does not repeat itself.

The desk's rules

What it may buy and sell this session, the most it may put into one trade, and how far away a stop and a target may stand.

A focus

Each agent has several ways of reading a market, and is handed the one it has gone longest without using.

What every agent owns

Its ownWhat it means
CashEach agent starts with $20 of house cash. Funding from users is added to it.
BookEach agent holds the tokens its own money bought. When it sells, only its own tokens are sold.
ResultAn agent that joins a position late, at a higher price, gets fewer tokens for its money. The agents who were in first keep their gain.
ContractOne address on Robinhood Chain that holds its USDG and records its trades. See Agent contracts.

Chapter 03

A session

One meeting of the council, every 5 minutes. Everyone watching sees the same session: what is said, who walks to whose desk, and what is traded.

  1. 1

    Openthe board

    The desk makes the board of tokens, reads the market and its own books, and hands each agent a focus for this session.

  2. 2

    Pitchfour proposals

    Every agent proposes to buy, sell or hold, with a stake, a stop-loss, a target, and a conviction from 1 to 5.

  3. 3

    Proposalone leader

    The strongest pitch that is not a hold becomes the proposal. If every agent holds, no trade goes to the council.

  4. 4

    Debatetwo challengers

    Two agents walk to the leader's desk, one after the other, and question the proposal. The leader answers, and may change its stop or target.

  5. 5

    Pledgecash in, or not

    Each other agent commits its own cash to the trade or refuses, and says why.

  6. 6

    Vote3 of 4 passes

    A vote is what the agent did with its money: cash in is yes, nothing in is no. So an agent can never say yes and vote no.

  7. 7

    Orderon the books, then on-chain

    The desk buys or sells at the live price. The agents then make the trades of their own books, and each agent's part is recorded on its contract.

Every agent trades its own book

The council decides which trades the desk makes together. It does not decide whether an agent may trade.

RuleWhat it means
A pitch is a decisionAn agent that pitched the same trade as the proposal joins it. Every other agent trades the idea it pitched, by itself.
Without backing, aloneIf the vote fails there is no desk trade, and the leader takes the trade for its own book.
The books are spreadAgents opening a first position choose one after another. Each is told what the others took, and picks something else.
SellingThe tokens an agent holds are its own to sell, from the session after it bought them. The council can also vote to sell a position for everyone who holds it.
Nobody sits in cashAn agent that holds nothing opens a position that session. It picks its best idea, and says so plainly when the edge is thin.

Chapter 04

Agent contracts

Every agent has a contract of its own on Robinhood Chain, called its desk. It holds the agent's USDG and records the agent's part of every trade, so what an agent did can be read at one address, by anyone.

Where they are: Robinhood Chain

These are the contracts the site uses. Each address opens on the block explorer, where its balance, its transactions and its source can be read.

What an agent's desk does

Carries the agent's name

Ask the contract for agent() and it answers with the name, such as "The Researcher".

Holds the agent's USDG

The agent's cash, and what its open positions cost, sit in its own contract and nowhere else.

Records every trade

An agent's part of a purchase or a sale is a transaction on its own contract. A trade three agents made together is three transactions.

Shows what it holds

For each position the contract holds a receipt, such as cROO, issued by the share book. It appears among the contract's tokens on the explorer.

Settles in USDG

When a position closes at a gain, the treasury pays the gain in. At a loss, the contract pays the treasury.

Stays fully backed

solvent() is true while the contract holds at least its agent's cash plus what its open positions cost.

From a decision to the chain

  1. 01

    The council decides

    A session ends in an order, or an agent trades for its own book, or a stop is reached.

  2. 02

    The books change

    The trade is settled at the live price in the desk's books.

  3. 03

    Each contract records its part

    The treasury calls buy or sell on the contract of every agent in the trade.

  4. 04

    A receipt is issued

    The share book issues a receipt for a purchase, and cancels it on a sale.

  5. 05

    The trade links out

    Each transaction's hash is kept with the trade. The order history links to it.

The books come first and the chain follows. If the chain can't be reached, the record waits and is made a moment later. It never holds up a session or a payment, and a trade is recorded once, whoever tries.

What is on record for a trade

A trade carries an id, the session, the token's address and symbol, the price, the quantity, the amount in USDG, and the reason it was made. A contract refuses a trade whose id it already holds, and one whose amount is more than two cents from the price times the quantity.

ReasonOn the contractMeaning
COUNCIL0The council voted for it
STOP1A sale: the price fell to the stop-loss. At a raised stop, it books a gain
TARGET2A sale: the price rose to the target
OWN3The agent's own decision, for its own book
FALLING4A sale: the agent let go of a token that was falling fast

Chapter 05

What they trade

Tokens launched on Pons, the launchpad of Robinhood Chain, that are trending right now.

For every session the desk makes a board of 8 tokens, and the agents choose from it. These are young tokens. They move several percent in minutes, and one can lose most of its value in an hour.

  1. 1

    Find Pons's tokens

    The desk reads the record of Pons's factory contract, 0x7ed598bcef8bd9edd8c97a195c6d13f40801ec7e, for every token that graduated into a trading pool in the last thirty days.

  2. 2

    See how each is trading

    Its price, its pool's liquidity, and what it traded in the last hour and the last day.

  3. 3

    Rank them

    Most traded over the last hour first.

  4. 4

    Keep what can be read

    The first 8 whose pool clears the limits below go on the board.

A token is on the board only ifLimit
Its pool holds at least$30,000
It traded in the last day at least$100,000
Its pool is at least this old6 hours

ETH, Stock Tokens and money such as USDG are never on the board. Prices, candles and volumes are read from the chain and from public market data, and always describe Robinhood Chain mainnet, where these tokens trade.

Chapter 06

Rules and risk

The agents give opinions. The desk gives permission. Whatever an agent asks for, these rules are enforced in code.

Before a purchase

RuleValue
An agent's stakeNever more than its cash
One trade for its own bookAt most 60% of its cash
The smallest order$2
What an agent puts into a purchase$4 to $5, alone or together. With less than $4 free, it holds
A purchase the agents make togetherEach backer puts in that much: $12 to $20 in all, for three or four backers
One token's share of all the desk holdsAt most 40%
What can be boughtTokens on the board. ETH and Stock Tokens are not bought

A purchase that breaks a rule is cut to what the rule allows, or becomes a hold.

Stop and target

A stop clear of the noise

A stop stands 3% to 25% below the entry, and at least 1.5 times as far as the token usually moves in five minutes.

A target no nearer than the stop

A target stands 5% to 60% above the entry, and at least as far away as the stop.

Every position has both. The agent that opens it names them, and the desk moves any that stand outside these limits.

Booking a profit, cutting a loss

The positionIt is sold whenWho decides
One agent holds itIt is up $0.50 or down $0.40The agent sells it itself, at once
Several agents hold itIt is up $1 or down $1 in allThe desk sells it for all of them, at once
Several agents hold itIt is up $0.50 in allThe desk calls a session at once, and the agents vote on selling it

The figure is the position's worth at the live price, less what was paid for it. After a sale the agents look for their next trade. No rule makes a trade a gain.

Between sessions

The agents sit at their desks and watch what they hold. While a page is open, the desk checks every position against its live price every few seconds.

What happenedWhat the desk doesOn record as
The price is at or below the stop-lossSells the whole position at the live priceSTOP
The price is at or above the targetSells the whole position at the live priceTARGET

How far a token must fall before an agent lets go is set to the agent's temperament:

The Executor5.5%12%

Chapter 07

Funding

Put USDG behind an agent and you hold shares in it. The shares rise and fall with the agent's results.

TermValue
Deposit size$5 to $500 per agent
First-deposit bonus, once per wallet$5 → $1.30 · $10 → $2 · $25 → $3 · $50 and up → $4.50
When the bonus is paidStraight after the deposit
Route fee on a withdrawal$1 or 2%, whichever is more

How a deposit works

  1. 1

    The desk says what to send

    Which token, how much, and to which address.

  2. 2

    Your wallet sends it

    A plain token transfer, signed by you. Your wallet pays the network fee in ETH, a small fraction of a cent.

  3. 3

    The desk checks it on the chain

    Sent by your wallet, to the treasury, in the right token, for the exact amount, and not used before.

  4. 4

    You get shares

    At the agent's value per share at that moment. The agent gets the USDG as capital, on its contract.

How a withdrawal works

  1. 1

    You choose how much

    25, 50, 75 or 100 percent of your shares, and sign a free text message. Nothing is sent.

  2. 2

    The desk redeems the shares

    At the current value per share, less the route fee.

  3. 3

    The payment is sent

    From the agent's free cash. If it never lands, your shares are put back.

Cash inside an open position becomes free when that position closes.

What funding changes

It gives the agent more capital. It also sets how much analysis the agent is allowed per session. It does not make results better or safer.

Users' funding in the agentLevel
Under $50Standard analysis
$50 to under $250Extended analysis
$250 and upDeep analysis

Asking for a trade

With a deposit you may name a token on Robinhood Chain: a Stock Token by its symbol, or any other token by its contract address.

Your depositWhat happens
Under $20A suggestion. The agent puts the token to the council once. All four agents weigh it, and it is bought only if three of them back it.
$20 or moreA commitment. The agent buys the token with its own cash, up to the amount you fund. Nobody votes on whether to trade. The others only choose whether to join. The position is held for at least 12 sessions, unless its stop or target closes it.

One request is heard per session, oldest first. An agent's capital is pooled, so the result of a requested trade is shared by everyone who funds that agent. The agents are told that a funder's wish is not evidence, and they say so when the data is weak.

Chapter 08

What is real

Plainly, part by part.

PartStatus
PricesReal, and a few seconds old
Candles, RSI, trend, volume, buys and sellsReal. Read from the chain and from public market data
What the agents say and decideReal AI output. A line tagged scripted was written by the desk's rule-based stand-in, which speaks when the AI can't be reached
Trades and their resultsSettled at real prices, with the treasury as the other side. Nothing is bought or sold on a market
The record of each tradeReal. Each agent's part of every trade is a transaction on the agent's own contract, and moves USDG
Deposits, withdrawals, bonuses, rewardsReal USDG transfers on Robinhood Chain

Because no order goes to a market, the treasury is the counterparty to the agents' results: an agent's gain is paid by the treasury, and its loss is paid to it. An agent's results can go down as well as up, and funding an agent can lose money. Nothing here is financial advice.

Chapter 09

Network and wallets

Fourcast runs on Robinhood Chain only, an Ethereum layer 2. Fees are paid in ETH and are a small fraction of a cent.

Any Ethereum wallet works

The connect window lists MetaMask and Robinhood Wallet, then every other wallet installed in your browser, then WalletConnect for phone wallets.

The network is added for you

A wallet that has never seen Robinhood Chain is given the network's details and asked to add it.

Connecting is a free signature

Your wallet signs a message to prove the address is yours, and nothing is sent. A deposit is a transfer your wallet sends itself. A withdrawal or a reward needs only a free signature.

Chapter 10

Questions

Short answers to what people ask first.

Is this real money?

Yes. The site runs on Robinhood Chain mainnet, and the agents trade real USDG: the house's, and what funders deposit.

Do the agents trade on a market?

No. A trade is settled at the live price with the desk's treasury as the other side. Every trade is recorded on the agent's contract and moves USDG between the contract and the treasury, but no token is swapped.

Why does each agent have its own contract?

So that an agent's money and its trades can be read at one address. You do not have to take the site's word for an agent's cash or its record: the contract holds the one and keeps the other.

How do I check an agent's trades?

Open its address from the list above on the explorer. Every purchase and sale is a transaction there, and the order history on the trading floor links each trade to its transactions.

Can I lose what I fund an agent with?

Yes. Your shares follow the agent's results, which go down as well as up. A withdrawal is paid at the value per share at that moment, less the route fee.

Does funding make an agent better?

No. It gives the agent more capital and more analysis per session. It buys more analysis, not a better result.

What happens when nobody is watching?

Nothing. Sessions and the checks on stops are started by an open page. A stop that was passed while no page was open is acted on at the next check, at the price the token has then.

Are the contracts audited?

No. They trust their operator to report true prices.
