Overview

The execution layer is connected through the Co-invest MCP. After authentication, Hermes can inspect a portfolio and interact with supported markets. Paper trading is enabled so positions and balances are simulated.

The strategy layer is connected through the Quiver Quant MCP and API access. One use case follows a selected congressional-trading strategy. Hermes checks for disclosed activity, translates relevant updates into the paper portfolio, and maintains a record of what it has done.

The workflow includes several scheduled elements:

  1. A daily check during trading hours for new strategy data.
  2. Execution of corresponding paper trades when the strategy produces an update.
  3. A weekly Friday review.
  4. A here.now dashboard showing the starting balance, current positions, performance, and strategy

being followed.

  1. A Multica project and autopilot that expose the recurring work.

The example allocates a defined paper balance to one strategy and notes that disclosed trades may appear with a delay of one to three days. Hermes is instructed to keep checking and to mirror updates when they become available.
