The Anti-Black Box Manifesto
The trading world does not need another secret robot.
It needs tools that are honest about what they do, how they were built, and what their limits are. GomerAI was created around that belief.
This manifesto explains the principles behind our Anti–Black Box approach.
Principle 1 – Transparency Over Mystery
We prioritize clarity over clever marketing.
- Our EAs are built on documented strategies.
- We describe which markets each EA targets and why.
- We publish ongoing results and version notes rather than one perfect backtest.
You may not see wild, unrealistic equity curves here. You will see how the process works.
Principle 2 – Process Over Promises
Most EA pitches start with a promise: a certain percentage per month, or an almost magical win rate.
We start with a process:
- Design strategies based on research, not hype.
- Test them in multiple environments.
- Log results through an AI Training Loop.
- Improve or retire ideas based on real performance.
We cannot promise that every version will make money in every market. We can promise that no version is released without a reason and a documented change.
Principle 3 – Community Over Isolation
EAs are often built in isolation and dropped onto the market as finished products.
We see our users as partners in a long-term experiment.
- Beta testers get early access to our work.
- Feedback loops into future design decisions.
- Our goal is a community of traders who understand the tools they are using.
When you participate, you are not just a customer. You are part of the research.
Principle 4 – Risk Controls First
A trading system is not truly transparent if it hides how it loses money.
Our framework is designed to make risk management explicit:
- Hidden protection logic for stop loss and take profit.
- Clear rules for when trades are opened and when they are closed.
- Respect for broker constraints such as FIFO and position aggregation.
We want you to know not only how the EA might profit, but also how it behaves when markets turn against it.
Principle 5 – Evolution Over Stagnation
Markets change. Strategies that worked five years ago may not work today.
The AI Training Loop is our answer to that reality.
Instead of freezing an EA in time, we treat each version as a step in an ongoing evolution. Data from live and demo environments feeds back into the system so we can refine our approach.
We do not claim that GomerAI is finished. We claim that it is designed to keep learning.
If you have been looking for a way to use automated trading without surrendering control or visibility, the Anti–Black Box path is for you.
GomerAI will keep publishing, testing, and improving our EAs in public view. You are invited to follow along, question our ideas, and decide for yourself what belongs in your trading toolbox.
