The machine wasn't ready.
Week 1 had zero real trades. The entire week was spent building infrastructure: AI reasoning with structured prompts, market regime detection, strategy definitions, stuck-trade recovery, stale order sweeps, and fixing AI model timeouts. The lab UI was reorganized into an open and free-first platform, and BUY/SELL operations were still being debugged by Sunday. The honest lesson: you can't trade if the platform doesn't work yet.
