Ink
An AI sentiment-trading agent built in public: it reads live news and social chatter, decides, and publishes every decision at get.ink.
Where it stands
Get an AI agent trading on the owner's behalf from live information — news and social sentiment — rather than technical indicators or backtests. The build is public: every decision, trade and lesson is published as it happens, so the project doubles as a verifiable experiment.
Nick (mcinnisdev), the owner and sole operator, and the public audience following the build at letidle.com.
Idle trades a paper account well enough, for long enough, to be trusted with a small live account through Schwab — with the whole record public.
Journal memory loop
Close entries with outcomes and lessons, distilled nightly, fed into future decisions.
Latest updates
A slight rebrand: the project moves from get.ink to letidle.com, and the octopus is now called Idle. Same agent, same rules, same record — earlier entries keep the old name because that is what it was called when they happened.
Ink now places real orders on a simulated-money brokerage account: same signals, same risk rules, but real fills and real market friction from here. The live page gains running totals — all-time AI spend, decisions, trades, and profit and loss measured from the account's starting point — so the record is cumulative, not just today's.
