# VHUNTER

> A team of AI agents that runs the same morning playbook a hedge fund analyst desk does — for independent retail traders. VHUNTER discovers the names that matter today, scrubs them institutionally, argues the bear case before you click buy, and grades its own performance weekly. Built around primary-source data: SEC filings, options flow, insider clusters, fund flows, macro regime.

VHUNTER is a product of rome.markets. The web app lives at https://app.rome.markets and the marketing site at https://rome.markets.

## What VHUNTER actually does

VHUNTER is an "AI hedge-fund-in-a-box" for retail traders. Hedge funds beat retail not because they are smarter but because they are earlier — earlier into the 13F, earlier on the insider cluster, earlier when the macro regime turns. VHUNTER closes that head-start gap by running an agent stack against primary-source data the moment it lands.

Every claim in the app traces back to a filing or a tool result. There is no tip service, no paid group, no promoted ticker. The system surfaces written theses you can argue with, and written reasons to skip.

## The agent stack

- **Discovery agent** — Scans the whole equity market every morning. Surfaces the 5–10 names that actually matter today based on insider clusters, predator-fund moves, theme rotation, regime shifts, and cross-section detectors.
- **Analyst agent** — A 90-second institutional-grade scrub on any ticker the user pastes: dilution, balance sheet, story, options flow, technicals, insider behavior, macro fit. Produces a written thesis or a written reason to skip.
- **Counter-check agent** — Adversarial second pass on every idea. Argues the bear case, surfaces what the user is missing, models the other side of the trade.
- **Lessons agent** — Self-improvement loop. Grades the desk's track record weekly, evaluates trades won, lost, and skipped, then proposes updates to the playbook (six-stage observe → hypothesize → validate → adopt → apply → measure → retire flow).
- **Regime audit agent** — Watches the daily tape against every active thesis. Flags when the world has moved and the user's story no longer fits.
- **Predator convergence** — Tracks 200+ institutional funds the moment they file. Surfaces patterns when two or more land on the same name inside a window.
- **Pause engine** — Catastrophic-risk circuit breaker. Halts new trades on terminal patterns, stale theses, counter-check rejections, exhaustion, low-score streaks, or global VIX/regime gates.
- **Macro regime gate** — FOMC/CPI/PCE/NFP/GDP proximity awareness. Blocks pre-event trade insertion (overridable with audit logging).

## Data sources

- **SEC EDGAR** — 13F (institutional positions), 13D (activist stakes), Form 4 (insider transactions, with cluster detection), Form D (private placements with totalAmountSold), NPORT-P (monthly mutual-fund and ETF holdings, fresher than 13F).
- **ICI** — Weekly fund flows: MMF (~$7T+), long-term equity and bond net flows.
- **FRED** — 23 macro series including yields, OAS, M2, NFP, CPI, claims, real rates, fed funds spread, 10s2s curve. 60-observation history.
- **Options tape** — Unusual blocks, IV crush windows, crowded-shorts.
- **X (Twitter)** — Curated catalyst and oracle accounts; deep-thinker independent voices distinct from "noise".

## Why this exists

Wall Street's edge was never IQ. It was access to data — Bloomberg seats at $24K/year, FactSet at $12K, senior analysts at $400K+. Retail trades on tips because they cannot afford the inputs. VHUNTER collapses that stack into one app so independent traders can argue with a thesis, not trust a tipster.

## Product principles

- **Sources, always.** Every number traces to a filing or tool result. A runtime fact-guard rejects fabricated market metrics before they reach the user.
- **It tells you when to skip.** Skip-reasons are surfaced as plainly as ideas. Silence is alpha.
- **No newsletter dressed up.** No paid groups, no promoted tickers, nobody on the other side of the user's trade selling the pump.
- **Built by a PM, on the desk.** Not a vendor. The same screens the team uses are what users get.
