​KL: Agentic Trading: Intelligence vs Autonomy - TrueNorth / Minara

​AI is moving from answering market questions to acting on them. But "agentic trading" isn't one thing, it's a dial: how much autonomy you hand the agent, and where you draw the line between its brain (analysis) and its hands (execution and custody).

This session reviews two products at opposite ends of that dial. TrueNorth keeps its hands off, no custody, no execution, plugging crypto-native intelligence into Claude or ChatGPT over MCP while you pull the trigger. Minara takes them on, a custodial wallet and rule-based Autopilot that manages positions on Hyperliquid 24/7 inside a scope you authorize.

We'll walk the autonomy spectrum from read-only intelligence to full autopilot, dig into how each product is built (dynamic tool discovery, adaptive memory, discipline rails, the custody fork), and end on the question that actually matters: where on that dial are you willing to put your money?
