Every control in Settings, what it does, and how to think about it. These are not suggestions to the AI — they are hard limits enforced on every decision.
Risk Level presets
Three presets — Conservative, Balanced, Aggressive — set the key thresholds to sensible bundles in one click. A preset is a starting point: any value can be tuned individually afterwards, and the UI switches to a custom state when you do.
Entry controls
Signal Confidence ThresholdThe minimum ensemble confidence required to execute. The single most influential setting: higher = fewer, higher-conviction trades; lower = more activity, thinner average edge.
Minimum Model AgreementHow many of the 5 voting engines must agree on direction (2–5). At 5, only unanimous setups trade. The Coherence Model doesn't vote, so the maximum is 5 — see The AI Engines.
Max Position SizeThe most a single position may use, as a share of your account. Caps per-trade exposure regardless of how confident the AI is.
Max Open PositionsSimultaneous position cap. New entries are held (and recorded with that reason) while you are at the cap.
Max Daily TradesHard daily execution cap. Protects against churn in fast markets.
Max Daily LossThe daily circuit breaker: when the day's realized losses reach this limit, entry trading halts until the next trading day. Exits remain managed.
Exit management
Stop-LossMaximum tolerated loss per position. A protective exit fires when price moves this far against entry.
Take-ProfitThe profit target at which a position (or its remainder) is closed.
Trailing Stop-LossA stop that follows price as the position gains, locking in profit. Set the distance the price must pull back from its peak to trigger the exit.
Trailing Take-ProfitRides momentum instead of selling at a fixed target: activates once the position is up by your activation %, then sells on a configurable pullback from the peak.
Partial ExitsSplits the exit: sell a configured share of the position at a first profit target, let the remainder run to a higher target. Banks profit while keeping upside.
DCA safety orders
Controlled averaging-down: if a position moves against entry, the system can place a limited number of additional buys at lower prices to improve the average entry.
Max Safety OrdersThe cap on additional buys per position. This bounds the worst case — DCA never runs unbounded.
Safety Order Size MultiplierHow each successive safety order scales relative to the previous one.
DCA increases exposure to a losing position by design. Keep Max Safety Orders small unless you fully understand the worst-case position size it implies (base order × multiplier progression).
Execution behaviour
Trade CooldownMinimum time between trades on the same asset. Prevents re-entering the same move repeatedly.
Position Check IntervalHow frequently the position monitor evaluates stops, targets, trailing levels, and DCA triggers.
Confidence ScalingWhen enabled, position size scales with ensemble confidence — marginal setups get smaller size, high-conviction setups get fuller size, always within Max Position Size.
Min / Max Order ValueBounds on a single order's notional value. The floor avoids dust orders that fees would eat; the ceiling is an absolute per-order cap independent of percentages.
How position size is computed
When confidence scaling and volatility adjustment are active, sizing follows:
Factor
Effect
Risk budget
Your Max Position Size and available balance set the base
Stop distance
Wider stops → smaller size, so the dollar risk stays consistent
Confidence multiplier
Higher ensemble confidence → fuller size
Volatility adjustment
More volatile asset → smaller size
Order value bounds
Result is clamped to your min/max order value

A note on defaults
Defaults are deliberately conservative — tuned so a brand-new account behaves safely without any configuration. You can verify what any session will actually use in the Pre-Flight Review before confirming the start.
