Daily P&L Production Agent
Produces the desks' daily profit-and-loss before the trading day starts.
Pulls the positions and marks overnight, computes each desk's daily P&L, and reconciles it to the risk system and the ledger, so the flash is on the desk-head agent's feed at open. Runs end-to-end overnight, auto-clearing immaterial timing breaks and escalating the rest.

Illustrative workflow
How the work moves
Starting point
Overnight batch lands; daily P&L production starts ahead of desk open.
- 01
Load positions and marks; compute desk-level daily P&L.
- 02
Reconcile to the risk system and the GL; isolate breaks.
- 03
Auto-clear immaterial timing items; flag the rest.
Result
A reconciled daily P&L flash on the desk-head agent's feed at open, with one $400k unexplained break escalated to the senior controller agent and handed to the attribution agent for the explain.
Checks and boundaries
What must be tested or reviewed
- 01P&L must reconcile to the risk system and the GL within tolerance before release.
- 02Unexplained breaks above materiality escalate to the senior controller agent, never auto-passed.
- 03Immutable daily P&L release trail retained for control.
Human authority
Acts only within an explicit policy, permission and escalation boundary.
