What Is Trading DNA?

Short answer: Trading DNA is the repeatable pattern of how a person actually trades — session, assets, sizing, stops, regime performance, and what they do after pain — not the strategy they claim in a bio. A financial harness is useful when it can see that DNA and keep the agent honest.

Claimed rules vs actual behavior

Traders write “I cut losers fast.” Logs show losers held twice as long as winners. That gap is not an insult. It is the highest-value input for an agent: style-drift detection.

A harness can draft an invest.md from history (wallet, session, implied leverage) and then remember both the draft and your edits. Over time it should know your DNA better than your last tweet.

What DNA is made of

• When you trade (and when you shouldn’t)

• What you actually touch vs what you say you watch

• Sizing under stress

• Invalidation you honor vs move

• Correlation habits (stacking the same bet in three names)

Why this matters for followers

If you copy a Fund, you are copying DNA plus a framework — or you are copying last week’s fills. Questflow’s product bet is the former: distill the manager, show a ledger, let the agent run inside your limits.
