Where should market agents stop? Default to monitoring, require approval to act
Decent_Wing_4393 · reddit · 2026-10-21
A Reddit user argues a market agent with clear limits is more trustworthy than one claiming to do everything. Price-only alerts get noisy; adding liquidity depth and traded volume helps, but the agent must explain why a condition fired.
The proposed boundary: monitor and summarize by default, alert only on explicit conditions, draft actions for human review, and require separate permission before execution. The author discloses a product-side bias (working on Alphio) but focuses on the design trade-off itself.
