Agent Commands

The sherwood agent command group runs an autonomous trading agent that uses multi-signal scoring (technical analysis, sentiment, on-chain data) to make paper-trading decisions. It operates in dry-run mode — no real trades are executed, on Robinhood Chain or anywhere else. Use it to generate and evaluate signals; act on them through a vault proposal.

`agent analyze`

Analyze one or more tokens using the multi-signal scoring engine.

# Analyze specific tokens
sherwood agent analyze ethereum bitcoin solana

# Analyze the full default watchlist
sherwood agent analyze --all

# Output as JSON
sherwood agent analyze ethereum --json

The analysis combines 5 signal categories:

Technical (20%) — RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, EMA crossovers, ATR, VWAP
Sentiment (20%) — Fear & Greed index, social sentiment Z-score
On-Chain (15%) — TVL momentum, DEX flow analysis
Fundamental (10%) — Token unlock events, funding rates
Smart Money (25%) — Nansen-style smart money flow (when available)

Each signal produces a score from -1.0 (strong sell) to +1.0 (strong buy). The weighted composite determines the trade action: STRONG_BUY, BUY, HOLD, SELL, or STRONG_SELL.

`agent signals`

Show detailed signal breakdown for a single token.

Displays raw technical indicators (RSI, MACD, BB width, EMAs, ATR, VWAP), sentiment data (Fear & Greed, Z-score), and computed signal scores with visual bar charts.

`agent start`

Start the autonomous trading loop in paper-trading mode.

# Default: 4h cycle, dry-run, default watchlist
sherwood agent start

# Custom configuration
sherwood agent start \
  --cycle 1h \
  --tokens ethereum,bitcoin,solana,aave \
  --log ~/agent-logs

Option	Default	Description
`--cycle`	`4h`	Analysis cycle interval (`15m`, `1h`, `4h`)
`--dry-run`	`true`	Paper trading mode (default)
`--tokens`	`ethereum,bitcoin,solana,aave,uniswap`	Comma-separated token watchlist
`--log`	none	Path to write cycle log JSONL files

The agent paper-trades only. It does not execute on Robinhood Chain; vault capital moves only through governor proposals (see Strategy Commands).

The loop loads any persisted risk configuration from ~/.sherwood/agent/config.json (written by agent config --set). Each cycle:

Resets daily/weekly/monthly PnL counters at boundaries
Updates prices for open positions
Checks exit conditions (stop loss, take profit, trailing stop, time-based)
Analyzes each token in the watchlist
Executes paper trades for high-conviction signals
Logs results to disk

Press Ctrl+C for graceful shutdown.

`agent status`

Show current portfolio, open positions, and daily PnL.

sherwood agent status

Fetches live prices from CoinGecko to update unrealized PnL for open positions.

`agent history`

Show trade history and performance metrics.

# Last 30 days (default)
sherwood agent history

# Custom lookback period
sherwood agent history --days 7

Displays a table of closed trades with entry/exit prices, PnL, and exit reasons, followed by performance metrics: win rate, Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, best/worst trades.

`agent config`

Show or update risk management parameters.

# Show current config
sherwood agent config

# Set a parameter
sherwood agent config --set maxSinglePosition=0.15
sherwood agent config --set dailyLossLimit=0.03
sherwood agent config --set maxConcurrentTrades=5

Configuration is persisted to ~/.sherwood/agent/config.json and loaded automatically when agent start runs.

Parameter	Default	Bounds	Description
`maxPortfolioRisk`	15%	1-50%	Maximum aggregate portfolio risk
`maxSinglePosition`	10%	1-25%	Maximum size per position
`maxCorrelatedExposure`	20%	5-50%	Max exposure to correlated tokens
`maxConcurrentTrades`	8	1-20	Maximum open positions
`hardStopPercent`	12%	1-30%	Hard stop-loss per position
`trailingStopAtr`	1.5x	0.5-5x	Trailing stop distance in ATR multiples
`dailyLossLimit`	5%	1-30%	Daily loss limit (pauses trading)
`weeklyLossLimit`	10%	1-50%	Weekly loss limit
`monthlyLossLimit`	15%	1-60%	Monthly loss limit
`riskPerTrade`	2%	0.5-5%	Risk per trade (Kelly-adjacent sizing)

`agent backtest`

Backtest strategies on historical CoinGecko data.

  --to 2024-12-31 \
  --capital 10000 \
