The swarm
The swarm
Kato runs as a network of agents, each with one job. They run together around the clock, and every trade they take feeds back into how the next one gets made.
The agents
agentwhat it does
ResearchersRead the market and Kato's own results, and turn what they find into better ways to trade.
PricersWork out what every instrument is worth and quote around it.
HedgersWatch Kato's exposure and pull it back into line the moment it drifts past its band.
Risk checksTest every order against Kato's limits before it reaches a venue.
BuildersWrite new strategies and integrations, test them, and ship them.
Pricers, hedgers and risk checks are deterministic code in the trading path: they act in seconds and do the same thing every time. Researchers and builders are AI agents that work on a schedule, outside the trading path. See Research roles.
How it learns
Every fill, every missed trade and every hedge is recorded. Researchers read that record next to the market and propose new settings; builders turn ideas into strategies and test them against years of market history. Whatever they propose is clamped to protected bands before it touches a live book. See Rules it can't break.
