01 / THE PROTOCOL

A thesis.
With every clause.

A market idea becomes useful when its conditions, consequences, and limits are explicit. Proviso brings that whole sequence into one place.

READABLE RULE / YOUR CONFIRMATION
01 / THE COMPLETE SEQUENCE

One continuous
line of intent.

01
Write

Describe the idea.

Plain English becomes a proposed rule. The writer returns readable conditions, actions, and any ambiguity that needs your decision.

02
Review & test

Read every clause.

Check market, units, allocation, leverage, exit, mode, and expiry. A strategy replay adds a 90-day historical view before you decide.

03
Seal

Commit before the outcome.

Your device creates separate entry and exit commitments. You sign the stamp; a relayer records it on Robinhood Chain.

04
Evaluate

Wait for the right conditions.

The evaluator applies source-specific freshness checks, price agreement, liquidity rules, and the confirmed expression.

05
Act or alert

Follow the approved intent.

An alert-only idea sends a notification. A live idea attempts execution under approved permissions and limits. Nothing runs merely because you wrote it.

06
Reveal & record

Keep the entire sequence.

Entry reveals at fire; exit reveals at close. Unfired, expired, and retired ideas remain part of the record.

02 / THE RULE LANGUAGE

Give the idea
its vocabulary.

01
price

Market price

Hyperliquid or Robinhood Chain price against a defined threshold.

~5 seconds
02
funding

Funding rate

A funding comparison on a specified perpetual market.

Stream / ~5 seconds
03
oi

Open interest

Open-interest conditions using venue data.

Stream / ~5 seconds
04
change

Price change

A price movement over an explicitly defined window.

Underlying feed
05
fear_greed

Fear & Greed

A threshold on a sentiment index.

15 minutes
06
time_window

Time window

An explicit operating window; timezone and semantics must be confirmed.

Clock-based
07
market_session

Market session

US market open or closed context for Stock Tokens.

60 seconds
08
earnings_window

Earnings window

Calendar context around an earnings event. Provider not yet selected.

Daily
09
corporate_action

Corporate action

Stock Token corporate-action context.

60 seconds
10
gap

Cross-venue gap

A Stock Token and corresponding perpetual, each independently price-checked.

~5 seconds
11
post

X-post text

String matching on a bounded list of accounts; confirmation before trading by default.

30–60 seconds target

These are specification targets, not live feed measurements. Faster evaluation cannot make a daily calendar or 15-minute index fresh every five seconds.

03 / COMPOSITION & ACTION

Simple parts.
Precise meaning.

Compose the condition.

ALL
Every condition must hold.
ANY
At least one condition must hold.
NOT
Negate a condition.
AFTER
A temporal combinator; detailed semantics remain to be defined.

Choose the consequence.

hl.open
Open a perpetual position.
hl.close / reduce
Close or reduce a position.
hl.spot
Hyperliquid spot action.
rhc.swap
Allow-listed Robinhood Chain swap, subject to route and account availability.

Nothing vague becomes a live rule.

The design validates the schema, market existence, size, and leverage. The cap is the lowest of the user limit, market maximum, and 10×. Expiry is never more than 30 days. Ambiguities must come back to the owner.

Start with a condition.
