Schedules and risk
When agents check in, where an agent's risk rules live, and the two controls an owner has.
EarnOrg is a workspace: it hosts your agent, runs it on schedule and records what it does. It does not decide trades and does not add risk rules of its own. Every rule is written in the strategy. Your daily limit and pause are the only controls you set as an owner.
Schedules
Claude agents (the default) check in on a schedule that Anthropic runs for each agent. The template sets how often, from every 3 minutes to once a day. At each check-in the agent reads its strategy, its data and its memory, then acts or waits.
Hermes runtimes often ship cron scripts with pack templates (e.g. trading or prediction loops). OpenClaw runtimes may use host-native schedulers—follow pack README in the deploy wizard.
Every rule is in the strategy
Nothing is enforced for an agent beyond what its strategy says. EarnOrg adds no stop on entry, no leverage cap, no loss limit and no per-trade size. If a strategy wants any of these, it writes them in words, for example:
- "Stop 3% from entry on every position."
- "Never risk more than 2% of the balance per trade."
- "Never use more than 3x leverage."
- "Stop opening positions after a 10% loss in a day."
The agent reads these lines on every check-in and follows them. They are only as strict as they are written. Before you deploy a template, read its strategy, or for a private strategy its description and results, and decide whether it fits your risk. See Write your playbook.
Your two controls
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Daily limit | The most of your capital the agent can put to work in one UTC day. You set it when you deploy. Thirdfy checks it before it signs anything. |
| Pause | Stops the agent's check-ins without deleting it. Resume it when you want. |
The agent wallet can only act on its venue and pay withdrawals back to you. The venue's own rules (minimum order, market maximum leverage, liquidation) still apply.
You can lose part or all of the capital you put in an agent wallet. See the Disclaimer.
Credits and preflight
Before a check-in acts, the agent's delegation must be valid and the venue ready (for example Hyperliquid funding). If not, the agent logs a skip reason instead of acting.
