SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reduces the risk of entering unfavorable trades by applying a structured three-gate pre-trade risk check, delivering clear veto decisions when thresholds are breached.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gate 1: Ruin check (Law #1) to limit exposure and prevent irreversible ruin.
  • Gate 2: Ergodicity audit to assess the likelihood of stable performance across trials.
  • Gate 3: Win-rate dominance validation to ensure the proposed RR/WR configuration is viable.
  • Use cases: single-trade vetos, batch trade screening, and governance-style risk controls for automated systems.

Quick Start

Evaluate a proposed trade by applying the three gates and return a veto decision if risk exceeds thresholds.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a pre-trade risk assessment to prevent irreversible ruin?▼

A pre-trade risk assessment applies ruin checks to limit exposure before execution. This skill enforces Gate 1 to evaluate trade risk and deliver a precautionary veto if exposure threatens irreversible ruin.

What is ergodicity in trading and how does it affect risk vetoes?▼

Ergodicity in trading evaluates the likelihood of stable performance across multiple trials. This skill applies Gate 2 to audit ergodicity, vetoing trades that lack stable expected outcomes over repeated exposures.

How do I validate win-rate dominance before executing a trade?▼

Validating win-rate dominance checks if the proposed risk-reward and win-rate configuration is viable. This skill uses Gate 3 to validate these metrics and veto trades failing the dominance threshold.

Can I use a pre-trade risk gate for batch trade screening?▼

Yes, pre-trade risk gates support batch trade screening. The skill applies three safety gates across multiple proposed trades, returning veto decisions for any trade exceeding defined risk thresholds.

What is the best way to apply governance-style risk controls to automated trading systems?▼

Governance-style risk controls apply structured pre-trade safety gates to automated systems. This skill provides ruin, ergodicity, and win-rate validations to enforce automated veto decisions before execution.
