The 7-day intensive

How it works.

Seven days, about ten hours total, three live Google Meet calls, a single Discord channel for the cohort, and a bonus pack of Claude skills you keep forever, the full picture, with every day-page open for inspection.

Cadence

Three live Google Meet calls book-end and break up the week, calendar invites and recordings shared within 24 hours if you can’t make it live. Daily check-ins land in one Discord channel, #trader-lab in the public Limitless server, so the cohort sees each other’s work as it ships. The arc is panel-first: infrastructure deploys before any bot, the control panel ships before the first order, and real fills land in the panel on your phone in seconds the day they happen.

Sunday before: 60-minute kickoff call. Monday: 60 min on the first authenticated read. Tuesday: 60 min deploying a hello-world FastAPI to Railway. Wednesday: 90 min dropping the bonus-pack control panel onto the Day 2 host, plus a 45-minute mid-week live call that demos the panel and unblocks anyone stuck. Thursday: 90 min filtering the firehose and placing the first $1–$2 order, the fill appears in the panel on your phone. Friday: 90–120 min adding Strategy and Monitor skills. Saturday: 90–120 min wiring Claude as the strategy brain and running a 60-minute LLM dry-run. Sunday: 60–90 min go-live and the graduation Google Meet at 7pm local.

Anatomy of a day-page

Every day-page is structured the same way. Once you know the rhythm, the rest of the week is muscle memory.

    Why, the conversion

    Names exactly what you’ll get and why it matters
  • 02

    Sections, numbered, sequential

    Four to six sections · each opens with its own why
  • 03

    Step cards, “you are now: doing X”

    Label, instruction, detail line
  • 04

    Claude prompts, copy-pasteable

    Coral block · fill brackets, paste, send
  • 05

    Terminal blocks, OS-aware

Bonus pack

04

One control-panel template, three Claude skills, and a 46-item perfect-agent checklist. Drops mid-morning on Day 3 so the panel template lands in your hands the moment the cohort builds the panel. Yours forever, regardless of cohort outcome, replaceable, extensible, designed to compose.

Trading wraps Limitless reads and writes as Claude tools, hard-capped at $5/order, limit-only, allow-list, DRY_RUN-aware. Monitor logs every decision, watches drawdown, exposes a kill-switch, and fires Discord webhook alerts into #trader-lab; every loop should call it first. Strategy ships a starter mean-reversion implementation: scan watchlist, score recent moves, propose buy/sell/pass with sizing, replace the rule, keep the structure. The checklist is a Markdown context file Claude grades your bot against: safety, observability, reliability, decision quality, ops.

What to expect

The graduation bar is concrete: place one real live trade through the agent, trip and reset the kill-switch on the deployed host, and post the deliverable in #trader-lab with a [D7] caption. That’s the entire bar. The 7-day unattended run is not required for graduation, it’s the alumni’s next milestone, supported by the bonus pack’s docs.

You’ll need about $5 of USDC in your Limitless wallet for the whole cohort exercise. Day 3 and Day 7 each place one $1 order; everything else dry-runs against real markets. You don’t need to write code by hand, Claude writes it; you describe what you want and decide what ships.

FAQ

07

Cost?

The current cohort is free. Future cohorts may add a fee depending on demand and conversion data, but every graduating cohort locks in the Trader Lab Alumni role and bonus pack updates forever.

What if I miss a day?

Each day-page is self-paced. Catch up the next morning, #trader-lab stays open all week and you can post your deliverable late with the same [DN] caption. Missing the kickoff or graduation Google Meet is fine; recordings drop into the cohort Drive folder within 24 hours and the link goes out in #trader-lab.

What if I can’t code?

That’s the point. Claude writes the code; you describe what you want. The bonus pack’s skills mean you don’t need to write any production code by hand. The cohort is engineered for non-technical traders, if you can read English and copy-paste, you can finish.

How much capital do I need?

$5 of USDC in your Limitless wallet is enough for the entire cohort exercise. Day 3 and Day 7 each place one $1 order. The agent on Day 6 and Day 7 dry-runs (no real orders) until the final live trade.

What happens after Day 7?

You graduate. Your Trader Lab N cohort role is swapped for Trader Lab Alumni within an hour of your Day 7 post, permanent, carries forward, and gives you a place in #trader-lab with every future cohort. The bonus pack is yours; the day-pages stay live for re-reading; the Agents Academy and PM Academy are open for self-guided depth.

Can I keep my agent running after Day 7?

Yes, and that’s the recommendation. Day 7 places one live trade and tests the kill-switch, from then on the agent is yours. The Agents Academy modules cover hardening for unattended runs (testing, prompt-injection defense, the production-agent capstone). Most graduates aim for a 7-day continuous unattended run as the next milestone.

What if my application isn’t accepted?

Waitlist for the next cohort. The day-pages and Agents Academy are public, you can self-guide through the same material at your own pace. You won’t get the live Google Meet calls, the cohort role, or the alumni handoff until you’re in a cohort.
