AI Agents in the Market: Tool, Trader, or Transmission Mechanism?

AI in trading is an authority-allocation problem: which components may infer and propose, which independent controls may authorise action, and how common models can turn local decisions into system-wide correlation.

ANANNYE Issue 018 cover for AI Agents in the Market, featuring a control-boundary diagram.

Editorial Lens

The discipline of markets, models, and risk

Earlier in Volume II

May 2026 · No. 017 · Quant

Crowded Signals and the Mathematics of Consensus

Crowding is a covariance problem: common factor exposure, leverage constraints, and endogenous exits can make many strategies behave like one liquidation path.

March 2026 · No. 015 · Markets

Volatility Is a Surface, Not a Number

The implied-volatility surface is the primary object: strike, maturity, event variance, skew, and term structure precede any scalar summary.

February 2026 · No. 014 · Markets

Liquidity Is Not There When You Need It

Displayed depth is a contingent state, not guaranteed execution; adverse selection, queue priority, cancellation, and impact alter the book before the fill.

January 2026 · No. 013 · Quant

The Anatomy of a Signal

A market regularity becomes a tradable hypothesis only after data reconstruction, multiple-testing control, execution modelling, and live decay monitoring.

About the Publication

ANANNYE is a monthly research journal on markets, systems, and risk. Each issue centres on one research feature, written to make a single question precise: what is being measured, what mechanism may be at work, what evidence is available, and where the argument stops.

The journal is quantitative in method, but not mechanical in tone. Its focus is market microstructure, liquidity, volatility, execution, leverage, model risk, and the infrastructure through which decisions become prices. Artificial intelligence is treated as part of that infrastructure when it affects trading systems, governance, information flow, or operational risk.

The aim is a durable record of research judgement rather than a stream of commentary. Each issue pairs a clear thesis with technical framing, an original figure, primary references, and stated limitations.
