Vermilion is a self-auditing AI trading agent that runs end-to-end on Alpaca's paper-trading infrastructure. It wakes itself up on a cron, opens /app after staleness, and on demand, and runs a full decision cycle: it reads the user's goals, pulls live snapshots for a combined watchlist, and asks DeepSeek to score every name. Every intent equity trade, options strategy, written plan, or refusal is persisted with its full reasoning chain. Options trading is built in, with covered calls, protective puts, bull and bear call/put spreads composed live from the option chain. A 17-tool Model Context Protocol server lets Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT drive the same broker. Human-in-the-loop is the hard gate: every order sits in pending_decisions until the user approves via Telegram, WhatsApp, email, or the in-app queue. End-of-day reflections, North-Star metrics, self-prompts, and Supabase RLS round out the audit story.
