Overview
HOODAGENTS is designed as a discovery and licensing layer for trading-agent software. A marketplace profile should make an agent understandable before a user pays for or authorizes it. The minimum profile includes the supported market, strategy family, data inputs, decision logic, risk boundaries, execution dependencies, creator identity, license model and ETH price.
The platform does not treat an agent as a guaranteed-return product. Agents are software systems that follow rules and can fail because of market behavior, data errors, integration failures, configuration mistakes or unexpected conditions.
Reference architecture
A clear agent separates responsibilities into independent layers:
Market data
Normalizes prices, volume, account state and other creator-declared inputs. A listing should state data providers, update frequency and stale-data behavior.
Strategy engine
Converts validated inputs into a proposed action. It should be deterministic where possible and disclose any model-based or probabilistic component.
Risk policy
Approves, rejects or modifies a proposed action based on hard constraints. Risk policy should be separable from the signal logic so that a strong signal cannot silently bypass position limits.
Execution adapter
Translates an approved action into a supported broker or exchange request. Credentials should not be stored in public front-end code, and permissions should be limited to the minimum needed.
Strategy families
Common templates include interval DCA, bounded grid, trend-following, portfolio rebalancing, breakout monitoring and trailing protection. These labels are descriptive, not evidence of performance. Each implementation must define its actual parameters.
Risk controls
Every agent should expose hard boundaries. Recommended fields include maximum order size, maximum portfolio allocation, maximum concurrent positions, asset allowlists, liquidity rules, cooldown periods, stop-loss behavior, daily loss limits and a manual kill switch.
Users should be able to understand which controls are enforced by code, which depend on an external platform and which remain their own responsibility.
Execution and permissions
HOODAGENTS is designed around user-approved execution. A future live connector should request only the permissions needed for the selected agent and should clearly separate read access from trading access. Withdrawal permissions should not be required for normal trading automation.
Robinhood connectivity, where available and permitted, depends on supported official or authorized integration paths, account eligibility and applicable terms. A marketplace profile must not imply an official Robinhood partnership unless one exists and is publicly verified.
Marketplace listings
A complete listing should include a plain-English description, technical explanation, risk controls, supported markets, license terms, ETH price, update policy and creator disclosures. Performance data, when added in the future, should identify the period, methodology, fees, slippage assumptions and whether results are live, paper-traded or backtested.
No listing should promise profit, hide material limitations or present simulated results as real trading history.
Robinhood Chain deployment
HOODAGENTS is being built as a native marketplace for trading agents on Robinhood Chain. The platform is designed to let creators publish agent profiles, explain their logic and risk controls, set an ETH-denominated license price, and make their software discoverable to users interested in stock and crypto automation.
The live deployment architecture will use supported Robinhood Chain infrastructure and approved integration paths. Until those systems are enabled, the current interface remains a transparent front-end prototype and does not deploy production agents, connect brokerage accounts, collect ETH, or execute trades.
