SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Risk management and guardrails for a trading agent: it enforces limits and kill-switches to prevent catastrophic losses and ensure compliant operation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-trade gates: max position size, max drawdown, slippage checks.
  • Post-trade monitoring: continuous drawdown checks, hard stops, kill-switch enforcement.
  • Portfolio-wide controls: global exposure, per-strategy throttles, automatic pause.
  • Use case: a firm wants paper-first testing before live trading with explicit approvals.

Quick Start

Configure your risk policy (e.g., 2% per trade, 15% portfolio drawdown) and start risk-manager to enforce it across all trades.

Frequently Asked Questions about risk-manager

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce hard risk limits and a kill-switch across automated trading strategies?▼

You can enforce hard risk limits by applying pre-trade gates, continuous post-trade drawdown monitoring, and a portfolio-wide kill-switch to automatically pause trading and prevent catastrophic losses.

Can I set a maximum drawdown and position size for pre-trade risk controls?▼

Yes, pre-trade risk controls support configurable maximum position sizes, drawdown limits, and slippage checks to block orders that exceed your defined exposure thresholds before they execute.

How do I configure a paper-first deployment with explicit risk approvals before live trading?▼

Paper-first deployments are supported by configuring your risk policy, such as 2% per trade and 15% portfolio drawdown, to enforce guardrails during testing before live operation.

What is the best way to monitor global portfolio exposure and apply per-strategy throttles?▼

The best way to monitor global exposure is by applying portfolio-wide controls that enforce per-strategy throttles and automatic pauses to guard capital across all active trades.

Does WrenOS support post-trade hard stops and automatic kill-switch enforcement?▼

Yes, WrenOS supports safe live operation through continuous post-trade monitoring that enforces hard stops and triggers a kill-switch to halt trading when unexpected losses occur.

When should I use automated risk governance instead of manual trade monitoring?▼

Automated risk governance is necessary when running multiple strategies or portfolios, as manual monitoring cannot reliably enforce global exposure limits, throttles, and instant kill-switches at scale.
