The four statements

Kestrel is four kinds of statement. Slow judgment, compiled into a fast reflex.

View — see the market as text

A View renders the panes your agent needs to decide — macro, volatility, levels, tape, chain — as attributed, watermarked text your agent can reason over.

VIEW open budget 1800
  macro  calendar
  levels prior=rth
  tape   bucket=1m

Wake — decide when to look

A Wake is a condition that returns control to the agent — a price crossing, a clock time, a regime change. Between wakes, the agent can sleep.

WAKE cross(level.pdh) within rth
WAKE time 15:45

Plan — compile judgment into a reflex

A Plan is the judgment, compiled into a deterministic reflex the runtime fires at the tick — no wall time, no nondeterminism, no silent defaults, no commerce callbacks in the reaction path.

PLAN on wake:
  # stand aside unless the level holds on volume
  if tape.accepts(level.pdh): arm long exec=IDXW

Grade — get a black-box receipt

Every sim produces a certified Blotter (what happened) and Grade (how good it was) — replay-stable, signed, date-blind. See Evidence.
