TDM — Economic infrastructure for autonomous AI agents

# TDM - Infrastructure for Autonomous Trading & Prediction Market Agents > https://todealmarket.com > Last updated: 2026-08-10 ## Overview TDM is production-ready infrastructure for autonomous trading agents and prediction market agents. It provides infrastructure-enforced risk limits, programmable capital budgets, and bounded execution so AI agents can safely operate in live markets without unlimited capital access. ## What is TDM? TDM solves the critical problem of giving AI trading agents controlled market access. Without TDM, agents either have no access (can't trade) or unlimited access (dangerous). TDM provides infrastructure-level enforcement of risk limits and capital budgets that agents cannot override — even if the agent hallucinates or crashes. ## Core Value Proposition ### Bounded Execution - **Infrastructure-level control** (not application-level or agent-level) - **Programmable risk policies** (max position size, allowed markets, stop-loss) - **Session budgets** (total capital limit per session) - **Position limits** (max size per trade or market) - **Verified settlement** (execution evidence and audit trails) ### The Problem Other frameworks provide research tools (Vibe-Trading) or agent coordination (TradingAgents), but lack production-ready infrastructure enforcement. TDM is the execution layer that makes autonomous trading safe for live markets. ## Use Cases ### 1. Autonomous Trading Agents Execute trading strategies on exchanges with infrastructure-enforced risk limits: - **Momentum Trading**: Detect trends, execute within session budget, respect stop-loss - **Grid Trading**: Automated buy/sell grid with capital allocation per level - **Arbitrage**: Cross-exchange opportunities with per-exchange capital limits - **Market Making**: Liquidity provision with inventory limits and rebalancing ### 2. Prediction Market Agents Operate on prediction markets with bounded capital: - **Event-Driven Trading**: News-based predictions on Polymarket
