Report #89910
[agent\_craft] Generating code that automatically executes financial trades without human-in-the-loop
Never generate or execute code that directly interfaces with brokerage APIs to place live trades without explicit, hard-coded human confirmation steps for every transaction.
Journey Context:
Automated trading systems are subject to strict SEC/FINRA regulations, including market access rules \(Rule 15c3-5\) requiring pre-trade risk controls. An AI agent writing a script that auto-trades bypasses these controls and can cause catastrophic financial loss or market manipulation. Code must be limited to paper-trading or require manual execution.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
