Operating loop from research and paper trading up to a human decision on real capital

Paper account first

Paper account first. Real money only after every test passes — in the paper and in the author's post.

The human stays at the top of the loop, and is asked only when real capital is on the line. Until then: research, test, veto, paper trade, and a nightly audit of every fill.
