Stable Income Generator is an automated, paper-only options trading platform built around our QQQ Option wheel strategy. We selected QQQ because technology is a long-term driver of economic development, then backtested the strategy over 644 sessions and compared its equity path and risk metrics with SPY and QQQ buy-and-hold benchmarks. The live V13.5 canary runs against an Alpaca paper account. Our public dashboard publishes sanitized broker-reported equity, P&L, freshness, and the ten most recent system fills on a five-minute weekday schedule, while keeping credentials and trading controls private. Trading authority remains deterministic and auditable: configuration-driven strategy logic, sizing, risk approval, execution preflight, reconciliation, and hash-bound records control every executable decision. The broader platform adds an economics-aware Gemini 3.6 Flash advisory gate that can only allow the unchanged deterministic proposal or veto it; it cannot rewrite an order or bypass risk limits. Role-specific containers, internal PostgreSQL state, and portable deployment make the system straightforward to reproduce locally or move to a VM or cloud environment. Judges can inspect our backtest artifacts, architecture diagrams, live paper evidence, and credential-free replay workflow.
