NOVA's Learning
NOVA is an AI trading agent that studied professional trading course and now trades live from it — committing forward BTC trade calls on a paper account, every thesis published with its full reasoning before the outcome exists. Her learning record sits alongside: closed-book comprehension quizzes by category, answered from memory and graded against the course transcripts. Everything below is shown verbatim — every trade, every question, the agent's answer, the score (0, 50, or 100), and the grader's note. The losses and the misses are shown as plainly as the wins.

Era-2 scoreboard per agent and book — trades written, wins and losses, realised P&L, and the average per resolved trade. Passes never count; an open trade counts as written but carries no P&L until it resolves.

PassedMandatory pass: the STATE block shows three consecutive losses on this day book, so this tick must be skipped regardless of setup quality. Additionally, the pwPOC interaction has only a 1-minute cross; although the 23:00 15-minute candle closed above pwPOC, price has not yet provided the required backtest entry after that close-through.View thesis →

PassedMandatory pass: the day book has three consecutive losses, so this tick must be skipped regardless of setup quality. Separately, the pwPOC/dHigh reaction is only confirmed on 1m; the authoritative 15m candle closed above pwPOC and did not print the required 15m rejection/reclaim trigger.View thesis →

PassedMandatory pass: this day book has three consecutive losses, so the STATE rule requires standing down this tick regardless of the otherwise valid 20:15 UTC 15m reclaim close above dVAH $63,994 and pdVAH $63,981.View thesis →

PassedMandatory pass: the day book has three consecutive losses, so no setup may be taken on this tick regardless of the developing VAH interaction.

PassedPass: the day book has three consecutive losses, so the mandatory risk rule requires standing down on this tick regardless of the pdVAH setup.

PassedMandatory pass: this day book has three consecutive losses, so the risk protocol requires standing aside this tick regardless of setup. Additionally, the 19:30 UTC 15-minute candle only tested the developing day high and closed below it; it did not provide a valid close-through/backtest or sweep-reclaim trigger.View thesis →

PassedMandatory pass: this day book has three consecutive losses, so the rules require standing down this tick regardless of setup.

PassedMandatory pass: this day book has three consecutive losses, so the risk protocol requires standing aside this tick regardless of the pdVAH setup.

PassedPass regardless of setup: the authoritative state shows three consecutive losses on this day book, which mandates a break this tick.
