drawdown-circuit-breaker
Drawdown Circuit Breaker reads your trader-memory-core thesis history and applies configurable rules—daily loss caps, losing-streak cooldowns, and weekly/monthly drawdown limits—to recommend whether new trade risk should proceed. It produces a decision artifact that gates your workflow without enforcing broker-side blocks, leaving position management to your judgment.
Drawdown Circuit Breaker determines whether new trades are allowed based on your account's realized losses and cooldown rules.

AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
What is drawdown-circuit-breaker and how does it work?
Drawdown-circuit-breaker reads your trader-memory-core thesis history and applies configurable rules—daily loss caps, losing-streak cooldowns, and weekly/monthly drawdown limits—to recommend whether new trade risk should proceed. It produces a decision artifact that gates your workflow without enforcing broker-side blocks, leaving position management to your judgment.
How do I check if I can trade today based on losses?
Drawdown-circuit-breaker evaluates your realized P&L against daily, weekly, and monthly loss thresholds pulled from your trader memory. If any threshold is breached, the skill flags a trading halt and may activate a losing-streak cooldown. You receive a recommendation artifact showing which limits triggered and whether new trade risk is permitted.
What happens when a losing streak cooldown is active?
Drawdown-circuit-breaker checks if a losing-streak cooldown is currently active by reviewing your recent loss history. When active, the skill blocks new trades until the cooldown expires, enforcing trader discipline without broker intervention. The decision artifact clearly indicates cooldown status and when trading may resume.
Can drawdown-circuit-breaker evaluate daily, weekly, and monthly loss limits?
Yes. Drawdown-circuit-breaker compares your realized P&L against configurable daily, weekly, and monthly loss thresholds. Each threshold is evaluated independently; if any is exceeded, the skill recommends halting new trades. The recommendation artifact details which timeframe limits were breached and your current drawdown status.
How does drawdown-circuit-breaker gate my trading workflow?
Drawdown-circuit-breaker generates a trading recommendation artifact that you can use as a workflow gate—integrating it into your decision process before entering new positions. The skill does not enforce broker-side blocks; instead, it provides clear guidance on account-level risk rules so you retain full control over position management.
What license does drawdown-circuit-breaker use?
Drawdown-circuit-breaker is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, and distribution for both commercial and personal projects.

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,
