Edge and Research
Chatito is not only “place a bot.” It’s a research loop: find candidates, invent or configure strategies, run them on practice, wait for enough sample, kill weak ideas early, and keep a human between any real money.
This page explains the system. It does not publish secret scorers or parameter grids.
Research Loop
Product Surfaces That Feed the Loop
| Surface | Role |
|---|---|
| Heat (Trending) | Attention ranking. Good for focus, not a promise of edge. Details: Heat and Trending. |
| Strategy Factory | Ideas queue, waitlist, paper intake, experiment boards |
| Research Factory | Study your books: edge health, sample honesty, plain autopsy (free tools; AI acts stay in Lab) |
| AI Lab · Scientist | Invent and co-design (credits). Stays locked to the market you opened |
| AI Lab · Analyst | Results coaching and deeper evaluation when available |
| AI Lab · Scout | Trending scans; act into invent/create |
| Statistics | Multi-book evaluation |
| Edge Radar / offline scoring (where shipped) | Rank hypotheses; still never auto-live |
Sample Discipline
Small samples lie. Chatito philosophy:
- Early practice PnL is a hypothesis, not truth.
- Improve / regime / confidence-style gates exist so the system doesn’t overfit noise (exact numbers stay internal).
- Early-kill on weak books frees capacity for better candidates.
- Protected research books are not casual reclaim fodder.
Edge Without Magic Language
We talk about process edge:
- Faster honest feedback (practice, stats, kill).
- Better market focus (Heat, Scout, context boards).
- Structured invent (Lab) instead of pure discretion.
- Capacity and diversity so one broken idea can’t eat the fleet.
We do not claim a permanent free lunch. Markets change. Practice ≠ live.
Other Venues (When Open)
Prediction markets and liquidity research will get the same practice-first loop when those terminals open for users. Until then, treat CEX and DEX as the public path. See Trading Engines.
Agents in the Research Loop
External agents can read markets/boards and manage paper lifecycle through the Agent API. Same paper-first rules. Machine docs: chatito.ai. Human page: AI Agents.
What Stays Private
- Internal offline scorer features and weights
- Exact scientist/edge schedules and spawn caps
- A/B arm parameter sheets
- Anything that is a reproducible extract-and-print edge recipe
