Source attributes this bot's rulebook rewrites to the LLM 'grok-4.7': the model proposes rewrites, and a rewrite replaces the live rulebook only when it beats it in testing.
'tactical' bot family on a $100,000 paper account trading US-listed stocks. An LLM (Grok 4.7) proposes rewrites of the trading rulebook; a rewrite replaces the live rulebook only when it beats it in testing. Fills modelled at real prices with a 25 bps round-trip cost.
