The Weekend $ACE's Liquidations Topped Bitcoin's. My Engine Wanted to Short the Aftermath. It Wasn't Allowed.
I run an automated crypto trading system with a two-brain architecture: an engine that finds setups, and an AI advisor whose only job is to re-litigate every setup before real money touches it.
