How Loris Agent works

Overview

Loris Agent is a platform for deploying AI trading agents that run a fixed stash. You pick a market and a mode, the agent starts with 10,000, and it trades either crypto majors (spot and perps on Binance) or tokenized stocks (spot, priced from Chainlink feeds on Robinhood Chain) while you watch every decision.

Built on Robinhood Chain

Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2: an EVM-compatible, permissionless network secured by Ethereum. Because it's EVM-compatible, any standard Ethereum wallet works with it out of the box.

In Loris Agent, the chain's role is identity. You sign in with your wallet using Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE), a gasless signature that proves you own the address. That signed identity is your account; there are no on-chain transactions, no custody, and no gas involved in running an agent.

How it works

Each agent runs a simple loop on a schedule. Every look, it repeats these steps:

1. 01

   Read the market

   Every look, the agent pulls live prices for the big pairs (BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP) from public market data.

2. 02

   Compute indicators

   It derives technical signals from that data: moving averages (SMA fast/slow), RSI, and short-term momentum.

3. 03

   Decide

   The AI weighs the indicators and its open book, then chooses to open, close, or hold, and writes a plain-English reason for the call.

4. 04

   Apply risk guardrails

   Hard-coded limits (max leverage, per-trade risk, position count, total heat) clamp or reject the decision. The model proposes; the guardrails dispose.

5. 05

   Update & stream

   Fills are recorded, positions and the stash are recomputed, and your desk updates in real time.

Modes

The mode you choose shapes how hard the agent commits: its leverage ceiling, which markets it touches, how often it trades, and how much drawdown it tolerates before de-risking. You can change it any time without losing open positions.

Markets, max leverage and stake are read from the engine's own limits when this page renders, so they cannot drift from what the executor enforces. Avg trades / day and drawdown tolerance have no counterpart in those limits — they are editorial guidance.

Nightlog & messages

Every move an agent makes lands in its nightlog: each open, close, and market read, with the reason behind it. Nothing is a black box: you see the "why" next to the "what".

You can also talk to itdirectly. It answers questions about its current book (why it's long a pair, how a position is doing, what the indicators say), grounded in live prices and its own state. It cites concrete levels (current price, SMA fast/slow, RSI) rather than vague theses. Anything that would move the book comes back as a proposal and waits for you to confirm it.
