Risk Management & Circuit Breakers

Institutional capital preservation guardrails, hard $1,000 USD/USDT allocation cap, daily drawdown limit breaker, and consecutive loss protections.

Four Automated Safety Circuits

All trade proposals must pass through the `RiskManager` before any simulated paper order can be executed.

NOTIONAL CAP

$1,000.00

Hard Trade Upper Limit

DAILY DRAWDOWN

-$50.00

Halts New Buy Signals

LOSS STREAK

3 Losses

Automated Circuit Lock

ACTIVE POSITIONS

Max 1

Prevents Overexposure

Deep Dive: Capital Guard Circuits

How each protective breaker preserves simulated balance under volatile market regimes:

Circuit Name	Enforcement Rule	Engine Action Upon Trigger
1. Hard Notional Cap	Order Value (Price * Qty) <= $1,000.00	Converts order to [SKIP] with explicit log reason
2. Daily Drawdown Breaker	Session Realized PnL <= -maxDailyLoss (-$50)	Suspends new entries until manual operator reset
3. Consecutive Loss Guard	Consecutive Losses >= 3	Halts execution and ingests pattern into adaptive memory
4. Single Position Rule	Maximum 1 open trade per symbol	Blocks duplicate buy signals on existing active positions

Structured Skip Reason Emitted to Ledger

When an order violates safety thresholds, the execution engine records a deterministic skip record:
