About ithuriel
By Joshua Motley · Founder, ithuriel (Section 44 LLC)
Builder of ithuriel’s signal engine and the methodology described below.
Most retail trading tools fall into two camps: black-box signal services where you never see the rule that fired, or bare price charts that leave every interpretation to you. ithuriel is built for the middle.
What we believe
- Signals should be explainable. Every ithuriel agent emits its stance alongside the raw data that produced it and the rule that fired. If an agent can’t be explained with numbers and rules, it doesn’t ship.
- Data should come from primary sources. SEC EDGAR for insider Form 4s and corporate financials. House Clerk for congressional trades. FRED for macro series. We don’t rent derivative data from vendors we can’t audit.
- Paper trading first. Every new user starts with $100k of paper equity. Live trading via a regulated US broker is coming soon.
- No short selling. Long-only by design. Bear signals close positions or stay flat — they never go short. Simpler, safer, and matches how most retail capital actually behaves.
What we are not
ithuriel is not an investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial planner. Nothing on this site or in the app is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. You make every decision yourself. Past performance — backtested or live — never guarantees future results. Trading carries risk, including the possible loss of principal.
