AI That Watches. Explains. Trades.

She sees it before
the market does.

A Cassandra is an AI that monitors one specific corner of the world — SEC filings, jobs reports, FDA recalls, power grid stress — and trades your brokerage account when it spots something. Every action comes with a plain-English explanation of what it saw and why it acted.

The Cassandras

Each Cassandra watches one thing. All day. Every day.

Every Cassandra is a specialist. She monitors specific government and regulatory data sources, and when something happens that moves markets, it tells you what it found and what it wants to do about it.

Cassandra: Dilution

Wave 1

When a company quietly files paperwork to sell more shares, existing shareholders get diluted. This Cassandra reads every SEC filing as it hits EDGAR and spots the capital raises, shelf registrations, and emergency financing that usually tank a stock before most people notice.

SEC Current Filings S-1 / S-3 424B* 8-K Financing
Example action

"ACME Corp just expanded its shelf registration. Financing language suggests they need cash soon. Previous shelf was 80% used. Shorting ACME."

Cassandra: Filing Stress

Wave 1

Buried in every quarterly and annual report is language that signals trouble — going-concern warnings, covenant breaches, auditor red flags, deteriorating customer concentration. This Cassandra reads every 10-Q, 10-K, and 8-K looking for the sentences that say a company is in trouble before the headline writers catch on.

10-Q / 10-K 8-K Exhibits SEC XBRL
Example action

"Going-concern language just appeared in XYZ's 10-K that wasn't in last quarter's filing. Auditor is flagging liquidity risk. Shorting XYZ."

Cassandra: Macro

Wave 1

CPI, jobs numbers, GDP, retail sales, Fed announcements — these reports move the entire market in seconds. This Cassandra knows the release calendar, knows what Wall Street expects, and trades the surprise. Not the number itself, but how far it is from what everyone was betting on.

BLS BEA Census Federal Reserve
Example action

"CPI came in at +0.4% vs the +0.2% everyone expected. Inflation is re-accelerating. Bond prices are about to drop. Shorting TLT."

Cassandra: Grid Stress

Wave 1

Extreme heat, polar vortexes, and storm systems stress regional power grids. When ERCOT or PJM start issuing warnings, energy stocks move. This Cassandra monitors National Weather Service alerts and EIA grid data, and trades utilities and energy companies when weather and grid stress line up.

NWS API NWS Alerts EIA Open Data
Example action

"Heat dome parked over Texas and Oklahoma. ERCOT demand forecast is spiking. Grid stress probability is elevated. Going long NRG."

Cassandra: FDA

Wave 2

Drug recalls, manufacturing shutdowns, shortage alerts, rejection letters — the FDA publishes all of it. This Cassandra watches for the operational and quality problems that crush pharma and device stocks, not the binary approval-or-not gambles.

Cassandra: Policy

Wave 2

Tariffs, antitrust actions, drug pricing rules, AI regulation, sector-specific rulemaking — it all gets published in the Federal Register and Congress.gov before it hits the news. This Cassandra reads the firehose of government policy so you don't have to.

Federal Register Congress.gov Regulations.gov

Cassandra: Agriculture

Wave 2

USDA crop reports and supply estimates move commodity markets the instant they drop. These numbers are highly structured, released on a known schedule, and historically huge market movers — but almost no one is watching them systematically.

How It Works

Pick your Cassandras. Set your rules. Let them run.

01

Choose What to Watch

Browse the lineup and pick the Cassandras that match what you care about. SEC filings, economic data, weather events, FDA actions, government policy — each one covers a specific domain.

02

Decide How Much to Risk

Allocate capital to each Cassandra separately. Set position limits, stop losses, and how aggressive you want it to be. Every Cassandra manages its own budget independently.

03

Choose Your Level of Control

Three modes: Alert (just notify me), Propose (show me the trade and let me approve it), or Auto-Execute (just do it). You can change this anytime, per Cassandra. Start cautious. Turn up the dial when you're ready.

04

Watch It Work

Every action comes with a plain-English explanation: here's what I saw, here's the source, here's why I'm acting. Track performance per Cassandra. See exactly what it read and why it traded.

See the Reasoning

Every trade shows its work.

No black boxes. When a Cassandra acts, you see the original source, what it concluded, and exactly why it's making this trade right now.

Cassandra: Dilution
What It Saw

SEC filing detected: ACME Corp (ACME) filed an S-3 shelf registration amendment. The financing language points to a near-term capital raise. Their previous shelf was already 80% used up.

What It Thinks

High probability they issue new shares within 30 days. The language looks like emergency financing, not routine. It's a small-cap with few institutional holders — that means the stock price will likely take a bigger hit than usual.

Proposed: Short ACME 3% of allocation • 21-day max hold • 8% stop
Cassandra: Macro
What It Saw

Bureau of Labor Statistics just released CPI: +0.4% month-over-month vs. the +0.2% everyone expected. Core services ex-shelter came in at +0.5% — the hottest reading in four months.

What It Thinks

Big upside surprise. Inflation is re-accelerating in the stickiest categories. The market had been pricing in rate cuts — that's about to get unwound. Long-duration bonds are vulnerable.

Auto-Executed: Short TLT 5% of allocation • 14-day max hold • 5% stop
The Platform

This isn't a research tool. It actually trades.

One Cassandra, One Job

Each Cassandra watches a narrow slice of the world — not "AI reads the entire internet." Dilution watches SEC filings. Macro watches economic releases. Grid Stress watches weather and power data. Focused beats general.

Trades Your Actual Account

Connect your brokerage account. When a Cassandra triggers, it executes for real. Your money stays at your broker — we never touch it. Currently supports Interactive Brokers and Tradier.

You Control the Dial

Alert, Propose, or Auto-Execute — per Cassandra, changeable anytime. Start by just getting notifications. Move to approving each trade yourself. Flip to fully automatic when you trust it.

Split Your Capital

Run multiple Cassandras at once, each with its own budget. Put $30K behind Macro, $20K behind Dilution, $10K behind Grid Stress. Each one manages its own allocation and risk independently.

Plain-English Explanations

Every trade comes with a "here's what I saw and why I acted" in words you can actually read. No mystery signals. No "trust the model." You see the source document and the reasoning.

Track Each One Separately

See P&L per Cassandra. Know exactly which one is making you money and which one isn't. No blended numbers. If one isn't working, turn it off. If one's crushing it, give it more capital.

Government Data, Not Guesswork

Every Cassandra watches official public sources — SEC EDGAR, BLS, the National Weather Service, openFDA, the Federal Register. Real data from real agencies. You can verify everything it sees.

Risk Controls on Everything

Position limits, stop losses, allocation caps, drawdown thresholds. Every Cassandra checks your risk rules before every single trade. You set the guardrails.

FAQ

Questions.

What exactly is a Cassandra?
A Cassandra is an AI that monitors one specific type of event — like SEC filings that signal dilution, or economic reports that come in hotter than expected. It watches official data sources around the clock, and when it spots something, it explains what it found in plain English and either alerts you, proposes a trade for your approval, or executes automatically in your brokerage account, depending on how much autonomy you've given it.
Do I need to be an experienced trader?
You need to understand that trading involves real risk and real money. But you don't need to write code or build strategies. Each Cassandra handles the monitoring and execution — you choose which ones to run, how much capital to give each one, and how much control to keep. Start in Alert mode and just watch what it does before putting anything on auto.
Where does the data come from?
All official, public sources. SEC EDGAR for company filings. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Economic Analysis for economic data. National Weather Service and EIA for weather and energy. openFDA for drug recalls and shortages. Federal Register and Congress.gov for policy. Every Cassandra lists exactly what it watches — no hidden feeds, no mystery data.
How does it connect to my broker?
Through a secure API connection. Your money stays in your account at your broker — we never hold your funds. We use industry-standard token-based authentication, so your login credentials are never stored on our end. Currently supports Interactive Brokers and Tradier, with more brokers coming.
Can I run more than one at a time?
That's the whole idea. You might run Cassandra: Macro on auto-execute, Cassandra: Dilution in propose mode so you approve each trade, and Cassandra: Grid Stress on alerts just to see what it picks up. Each one gets its own capital allocation and its own risk limits. You see performance for each one separately.
What happens when it's wrong?
It will be wrong sometimes — every trading approach is. That's why every Cassandra has built-in risk controls: stop losses, position limits, allocation caps, and drawdown thresholds. The goal isn't to be right every time. It's to watch things humans can't watch at scale, act faster than humans can act, and have the discipline to follow the rules every single time.

Important Disclosures

Not financial advice. The Cassandra Project provides software tools that enable automated event-based trading based on parameters defined by the user. We do not provide investment advice, portfolio management, financial planning, or recommendations to buy or sell any securities.

Self-directed accounts only. All trading occurs in the user's own self-directed brokerage account, maintained at a third-party broker-dealer of the user's choosing. Users are solely responsible for all investment decisions and for the activity in their brokerage accounts.

Risk of loss. Trading securities involves substantial risk of loss. Automated trading systems carry additional risks including technology failures, delayed event detection, incorrect signal interpretation, market gaps, and execution slippage. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You could lose some or all of your invested capital.

AI limitations. Event detection relies on publicly available data sources and natural language processing, which may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. Cassandras may misinterpret events, generate false positives, or fail to detect relevant events entirely. Users should not rely solely on automated systems for investment decisions.

Hypothetical performance. Any performance data, examples, or simulations shown are hypothetical and do not represent actual trading results. Hypothetical performance has many inherent limitations, including the benefit of hindsight.
