Report #81619

[agent\_craft] Generating algorithmic trading scripts that adapt to a specific user's stated financial situation or risk tolerance

Keep trading algorithms generic and parameterized. Do not map user inputs like 'I am retired and risk-averse' directly to algorithm constraints \(e.g., max\_drawdown = 0.05\) without a hard-coded disclaimer that the agent is not a fiduciary and the user must configure risk parameters themselves.

Journey Context:
A fiduciary duty arises when one party places trust and confidence in another. Under ERISA and SEC fiduciary rules, if an agent takes a user's personal financial context \('I need this for my retirement fund'\) and writes a script specifically tailored to protect that context, it implies a fiduciary relationship. The agent is acting in the user's best interest based on personal data. To avoid this, the agent must provide the tool \(the script\) but force the user to make the final parameterization decisions, breaking the chain of reliance.
