Truly using lobsters for quant arbitrage The key isn’t the profit—I think the following preparatory work is essential: 1. A trustworthy AI must display in real-time what it’s doing: positions, P&L, and risk control status. 2. Automatic fault elimination within seconds. I can’t accept an arbitrage system that crashes frequently. 3. Separation of permissions within the AI team. I don’t want the system compromised because of a permissions breach. Hacking one of my assistant AIs shouldn’t lead to the system being breached and the trading AI’s private key being leaked.
