Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00608 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00304 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00122 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00061 |
Grade A, and why
paper-loop scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 31 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Run one iteration of the MEICAgent parallel-shadow paper-trading loop.
As of the standalone runner, the paper loop is implemented in code (src/paper_loop.py), not agent orchestration — this keeps a single source of truth for the iteration logic. Prefer the unattended daemon (/paper-start) for a full session; use this skill for a single manual iteration (e.g. a one-off force-close pass, or a quick check).
Run one iteration
python src/paper_loop.py --once
This runs, for every symbol in config.json's symbols, one full pass: fetch the live underlying price + IV rank, the shared VIX / VIX1D (→ ratio, → VIX-banded short delta), and GEX; build wing-width candidates from wing_widths_by_symbol; then hand the snapshot to paper.process_symbol, which marks/exits every open paper IC across all four profiles (per-side stops, the settlement-aware force-close cascade with the physically-settled early close + assignment/pin friction, and cash-settled left-to-expire settlement — no profit target) and evaluates new entries per profile. All writes go to data/paper_trades.db; the live account and data/meic_trades.db are never touched.
Report the per-symbol, per-profile outcomes from the JSON it prints (fills, skip reasons, or exits).
Unattended session
For a full session that runs on its own without per-iteration invocation, use /paper-start, which registers a Windows scheduled task running --once every 2 minutes (robust, self-healing, persists across sessions, time-gated to market hours). Manage it directly with:
python src/paper_loop.py --install-task # register + fire the first run (recommended)
python src/paper_loop.py --status # daemon/task status + open-position count
python src/paper_loop.py --uninstall-task # stop the unattended session
python src/paper_loop.py --eod-report # write logs/paper-eod-<date>.md now (--date to backfill)
The daemon also writes that deterministic end-of-day report automatically, once, at the 16:00 settlement pass — a per-profile metrics table (trades, win rate, net P&L, expectancy, profit factor, max drawdown), an exits-by-reason breakdown, and per-symbol P&L. It's code-generated (no agent), distinct from the agent-synthesized /paper-report.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

paper-loop is a command published in the GitHub repository joncovington/MEICAgent (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 608 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
