What holds it up
Five applications, two scanning on timers, one trading around the clock — all of it on a single free-tier machine that costs nothing to run. The budget was never the hard part; making a box with no root and no open ports behave like infrastructure was.
One Oracle Always Free micro — 1 OCPU, 1 GB — shared by five apps and the bot loop.
Always Free compute, Let's Encrypt certificates, sslip.io hostnames. No registrar, no platform tier.
User systemd units with linger enabled. An unprivileged account restarts the whole stack.
Sonar's API listens on a unix socket, not a port — reachable through the web server and nowhere else.
1,114 tests stand behind the scanner alone. None of it moves real money — every Afloat book is paper, and stays paper until the edge holds outside a simulation.

Triton is that desk turned into software. The ILM I take by hand is the model inside Afloat's scalper loop; the other four read, watch, count and keep me honest while I sleep.
