Introduction

The Problem

Perpetual futures markets are fundamentally different from what most trading tools were built for:

• Always on: 24/7/365 with no circuit breakers, no market close
• Leverage-dominated: Funding rates create constant cost and arbitrage dynamics
• Fast-moving: News travels via social media in seconds; on-chain moves happen before price reacts
• Volatile: Liquidation cascades, funding rate spikes, and macro shocks hit without warning

Yet most trading tools remain fragmented: static order types, disconnected dashboards, manual workflows, isolated automation. Traders spend more time managing tools than analyzing markets.

What This Means for You

Markets never sleep. You can't monitor 24/7, but opportunities and risks don't wait. A regime shift at 3am can spike your liquidation risk before you wake up.

Information overload. Funding rates, OI divergence, liquidation clusters, macro events, technical signals — the data is overwhelming. You need synthesis into actionable trade plans, not more raw data.

One bot isn't enough. A single bot following fixed rules can't adapt when conditions shift. It has no peer validation. Multiple specialists cross-checking each other produce better outcomes.

How PerpDesk Works

PerpDesk deploys 9 specialized AI agents across two asset classes — six form the crypto perps consensus chain, one covers prediction markets, and three more are in development.

For a perp trade, the chain runs in order:

1. Vanta continuously classifies market regime (trending, ranging, volatile, quiet, transitioning) using technical indicators like EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, ATR, and StochRSI
2. Luma aggregates cross-venue signals: funding rates, open interest, volume anomalies, and liquidation data
3. Meridian monitors macro context: economic events, regulatory shifts, and cross-asset signals
4. Riven waits for all three, then runs a consensus debate to synthesize one unified recommendation per symbol — with entry, targets, stops, and sizing
5. Brix filters the recommendation against your personal risk parameters: position sizing limits, exposure caps, leverage limits, and daily loss thresholds. Brix is a deterministic rules engine — no AI guesswork on risk
6. Koda adds execution guidance: entry style (sniper, ladder, or market), timing considerations, and practical trade staging

You see the final package: trade plan + risk assessment + execution guidance + rationale. You decide whether to execute.

In parallel, Plop reads prediction markets. Drop a Polymarket or Kalshi market URL into chat and Plop returns a calibrated p(YES), the market mid, the edge, and a confidence score — grounded in order-book data, base rates, and quote drift. Prediction markets sit alongside perps in the same War Room and chat surface.

What Changes

Human-in-the-Loop by Design

PerpDesk is built on a core principle: AI augments traders. It doesn't replace them.

• Every recommendation includes reasoning
• Every recommendation can be overridden
• Risk parameters are hard limits no agent can breach
• Full audit trail of what happened and why

You can run agents in monitoring mode (analysis only, no execution) or enable trading with your approval on each recommendation. The level of autonomy is up to you.

Who This Is For

• Traders tired of manual workflows across multiple platforms
• Traders who want automation without losing control
• Traders who want 24/7 market monitoring without 24/7 screen time
• Traders scaling from solo operation to running a structured desk

You don't need to be a developer or an algo trader. You just need to understand perpetual futures and want better tools.
