A bot, in public.

nightclaude is an experiment in building a quantitative trading bot in public: a systematic, volatility-aware strategy on the S&P 500, running every trading day, with the equity curve plotted against SPY for anyone to watch.

The strategy is refined using an autonomous research loop adapted from Andrej Karpathy's autoresearch pattern. Each iteration writes a hypothesis, runs a walk-forward backtest, evaluates the change with overfitting-aware metrics, and keeps or discards. The discipline matters more than any single parameter.
