Drawdown Circuit Breaker

Overview

Evaluate whether the trader should take new trade risk today based on account-level realized P&L and recent terminal trade outcomes. This skill reads trader-memory-core thesis YAML files only. It produces a circuit_breaker_decision artifact that complements the market-side exposure_decision from exposure-coach.

The circuit breaker is a recommendation and recordkeeping tool. It does not replace human judgment, and it does not enforce broker-side blocks or automated order rejection.

When to Use

• Before screening or sizing any new swing trade candidate
• After a losing trade or partial trim to check whether a cooldown is active
• During daily planning when trader-memory-core contains recent closed or partially closed positions
• As a workflow gate before swing-opportunity-daily proceeds to candidate generation
• When reviewing whether daily, weekly, or monthly loss limits have been breached
