## What it 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.
