Meridian — Autonomous Market Intelligence
Re-platforming
We don't trade headlines.
We trade second- and third-order effects. Meridian is our autonomous trading and household-finance platform: it reads filings, options flow, and macro feeds; finds the seams where multiple trends collide; frames what it finds as theses; and manages the money. Our money — built for one household, on our own capital, because that is the only honest way to prove a system like this.
The edge
The market misprices what happens next.
Markets price the headline well and the chain badly. When multiple macro trends collide, the second- and third-order effects — who supplies whom, who holds whose risk, where the margin actually lives — get repriced late. That gap is where Meridian operates.
A seam can be a crack or it can be gold; the system hunts both sides. Every thesis carries its own falsifiers — tiered canaries watching the direct name, the sector ripple, and the macro edge — so a thesis that stops being true gets retired by evidence, not by mood.
The four pillars
Four ways of seeing the same market.
Accumulation
Detect smart-money accumulation before price confirms it — quiet positioning, stealth activity, exhaustion, capitulation.
Catalysts × flow
Cross-reference narrative catalysts with options-market behavior. A story is a signal only when the flow agrees.
Dealer positioning
Watch market-maker inventory across names for regime changes — the moments when the market's shock absorbers switch sides.
Macro ripple
Turn a macro trigger into a ranked list of impacted names, by walking the dependency graph two and three steps out.
The other half
One system for the whole balance sheet.
Trading capital is not a separate universe from the rest of a household's money — so Meridian doesn't treat it as one. The same platform carries budgets, net worth, linked accounts, and tax awareness across entities, composing the trading book with everything around it. Position sizing that ignores the household is just risk with extra steps.
Where it stands
Mid-migration, candidly. The original Rust implementation runs today and holds the behavioral baseline — surveillance, detection, the dependency graph, broker integration. The rebuild on Fields is underway, first milestone: the anomaly-detection pipeline running end-to-end on the new substrate.
Built by the practice, not apart from it.
The discipline on this page is the same one we bring to client work — the maxims, the movements, the same standard of structure.
