The Pool is a cooperative trading syndicate. Fixed weekly stake, equal share of returns, no matter who you are or what you've got. The bot runs a 4-layer signal stack β satellites, shipping lanes, macro plumbing, sentiment β and only trades when the whole ocean agrees.
Join the Pool βEvery week, everyone in the pool stakes Β£5. Fixed. No exceptions. A millionaire and someone on minimum wage have identical exposure.
Satellites. Shipping lanes. Armed conflict data. Yield curves. Reddit sentiment. Member pulse. 19 independent signals weighted by how much they actually agree with each other.
The Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, Kalman filter, and Gaussian Process engines must all agree before a trade fires. No training data. No hallucinations. First principles.
Equal share for every paid member. 10% kept as a buffer for bad weeks. Losing week? Pool absorbs it. Everyone stays in for next week.
Most algorithmic trading is extractive β it reads the behaviour of real market participants and front-runs it. The fisherman's knowledge gets strip-mined. Their signal becomes worthless.
The Pool inverts this. We use the principle of least action as an organising principle β the same mathematics that governs how light bends, how planets orbit, how particles interact. The market follows paths of minimum action too, and deviations from that path are the signal. No training required. No historical pattern-matching that breaks when conditions change.
And the member pulse β what you notice on your high street this week β is a signal that no Bloomberg terminal has. Aggregated across a community, that's genuine price discovery from the bottom up. That's the nth-order effect that points toward solving homelessness and hunger. Not charity. Correctly priced capital.
