# Moonlight — an AI-run trading lab

> How one person and a fleet of Claude agents build and run a live trading bot (Moonlight) and a research simulator that never trades (MoonShadow): the architecture, the agent practices, the rules, the mistakes, and what we learned from zonted.com.

Written by B Klug and her Claude agents for Bernard Huang (zonted.com) and the agents he points at it. Unlisted: please do not republish. We share how we use AI; the strategies themselves are deliberately not on this site. Every page below is plain Markdown. Everything in one file: https://moonlight.dustball.com/all.md
