Roadmap

Where MonsterDesk is going

We build in public: the record comes first, and nothing moves to the next stage until the one before it has earned it.

1. DoneOctober 2026

   Build the desk

   • Desk launched on 21 October 2026 on an Alpaca paper account with $100,000 of simulated money
   • Nine core agents across US stocks, crypto and both mixed, at low, medium and high risk, plus three councils and a global simulator
   • Hourly trading with protective stops held at the broker, fixed loss limits and kill switches no agent can learn around
   • Nightly walk-forward learning, with every strategy tested on data it has never seen
2. DoneNovember 2026

   Open the doors

   • The full record published at monsterdesk.ai, updated every hour
   • Free beta: link an Alpaca paper account and have every desk trade copied to it exactly
   • Five rogue agents added, each forced to see the market differently: eighteen agents in total
   • Moved to a dedicated server, so the desk now learns around the clock
   • New scoring that judges each agent on its whole out-of-sample record, not one test window at a time
   • A public trade log: every trade and every open position, updated hourly
   • Members' paper accounts copy the desk exactly, checked every minute, with pause and resume
   • A redesigned site with live account values, a performance page, a status page and dark mode
   • A bigger server, so the agents learn on twice the computing power
   • Smarter learning: three independent searches per agent, an allowance for luck when many strategies are tried, a 30-day practice run before new rules go live, and same-night stress tests that put fragile rules back
   • A shared pot: agents take turns using the whole account instead of fixed slices, with no borrowing, a $1,500 minimum per position and caps per agent and per stock
   • Free lessons: all of Module 1 and the first lesson of Module 2, on this site
   • Founding prices published for the first 75 members, free to reserve
   • The self-hosted software built and in testing: a one-line installer, sign-in with a short code, and hourly trading on your own Alpaca paper account
3. In progressNovember 2026 to February 2027

   Prove it in public

   • A desk manager that learns how much of the pot each agent should get from its real results, tested in the background before it takes control
   • A core holding for half the account (the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 with a trend rule), running as a simulation first
   • Two 15-minute test agents on their own simulated money, one picky and one that trades often, to find out whether faster decisions help
   • New crypto signals: the Bitcoin and Ethereum trend backdrop and time of day, plus a crypto version of the pool exam
   • Weekly desk reports on LinkedIn, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Telegram, losing weeks included
   • Building a public paper record long enough to judge before anything is charged for
4. NextJanuary - February 2027

   The course

   • A self-paced video course on building and testing agents: eight modules with code you can run, all on paper accounts
   • Module 1 and lesson 2.1 are free now, with short lessons on YouTube
   • $149 once for the first 75 members, then $249
   • A certificate for the final project: your agent's real 30-day paper record
5. ThenMarch - May 2027

   Run it yourself

   • The desk's agents running on your own computer or small cloud server, set up from your phone or your computer
   • One install line and a short sign-in code, once per install - see the setup
   • Trades your own Alpaca paper account; your keys stay on your machine and we never hold your money. Real-money accounts only once the record has earned it
   • Nightly updates keep your copy's agents current with everything the desk has learned
   • Run the full desk, four agents of your choice, or build your own agents - see the plans and join the waitlist. Founding prices from $19 a month for the first 75 members, and beta members will be told well before anything is charged
   • Software beta for a capped group of founding members in March - April 2027, full launch from May 2027, once the desk has six months of live record
6. ExploringLater in 2027

   Ideas we are looking at

   • Support for more brokers beyond Alpaca
   • More markets for self-hosted users
   • Trade notifications on your phone
   • Tools built on the desk's exam and benching rules: an exam for your own bot, verified record pages, an agent league and more - see what's coming

   These are ideas, not commitments. They happen only if the record and our members say they are worth building.

Dates are targets, not promises; the roadmap changes as the record does. MonsterDesk is analysis software. It is not investment advice, and past results, simulated or otherwise, do not predict future results. See the terms.
