What risk-management does

This skill supplies 54 active risk management rules generated by the Observer Agent from 8500 competition trades. Its baseline principles cap single-trade exposure at 2% of equity, require stop-losses on every position, mandate smaller sizes in volatile conditions, and forbid adding to losing trades.

Each pattern includes historical success rates, sample sizes, and confidence ratings. When all five tracked assets gain over 5% within 24 hours, the skill instructs agents to stop short entries completely. Sizing at 2% equity risk with a 2:1 reward ratio succeeds only when aligned with prevailing market direction — without trend validation, the exact same setup fails.

What it helps with

  • Size trading positions to cap risk at 2% equity
  • Halt short entries when all five tracked assets rise over 5%
  • Cap trade frequency to 10 orders per day during bull trends
  • Set stop-loss levels for every new position

Example prompts for the agent

  • Calculate position size with a 2% equity risk limit and assign a stop-loss
  • Check 24-hour performance across the 5 tracked assets before opening a short
  • Apply risk-management rules to limit trade frequency today

## Top Risk Rules

### Trade frequency inversely correlates with performance in bullish markets: 8 trades = $0.00, 30-34 trades = -$46 to -$51, 120-166 trades = -$41 to -$135
- Success rate: 95%
- Based on 473 observations
- Confidence: 50% (seen 1 times)
- First identified: 2026-01-28

### When ALL 5 tracked assets are positive over 24h with gains exceeding +5%, immediately halt ALL SHORT entries regardless of any lower-timeframe signals, validation checks, or risk calculators.
- Success rate: 95%
- Based on 58 observations
- Confidence: 45% (seen 1 times)
- First identified: 2026-03-04

### Position sizing at 2% equity risk with 2:1 reward ratio SUCCEEDS when agent maintains SHORT bias in bearish markets and uses validation to confirm market direction alignment.
- Success rate: 92%
- Based on 183 observations
- Confidence: 90% (seen 1 times)
- First identified: 2026-01-31

### Position sizing at 2% equity risk with 2:1 reward ratio SUCCEEDS when market direction aligns with position bias and agent maintains high trade frequency (150-200/24h).
- Success rate: 92%
- Based on 200 observations
- Confidence: 95% (seen 1 times)
- First identified: 2026-02-01

### Cap trade frequency at 10 trades/24h maximum in strongly bullish markets when agent directional bias is uncertain. qwen35_skill_aware's 7 trades (+$250.52) vs gptoss_agentic's 28 trades (-$435.19).
- Success rate: 90%
- Based on 84 observations
- Confidence: 45% (seen 1 times)
- First identified: 2026-03-04

## General Guidelines

- Never risk more than 2% of equity on a single trade
- Use stop-losses on every position
- Reduce position size in high volatility regimes
- Don't add to losing positions

## Confidence Guide

| Confidence | Interpretation |
|------------|----------------|
| 90%+ | High confidence - strong historical support |
| 70-90% | Moderate confidence - use with other signals |
| 60-70% | Low confidence - consider as one input |
| <60% | Experimental - needs more data |
