## Critical Production Rules
### Automatic Kill Switches
1. **Per-Model Max Drawdown**: 1.0% → Auto-flatten position
2. **Ensemble Max Drawdown**: 2.0% → Halt all trading
3. **Daily Loss Limit**: -3% → Suspend for 24 hours
4. **Win Rate Floor**: <55% over 100 trades → Disable model
### Real-Time Monitoring (Every 5 Minutes)
1. Current drawdown per model (alert at 0.5%, kill at 1.0%)
2. Rolling 20-trade win rate (alert if <50%)
3. Rolling 50-trade Sharpe (alert if <2.0)
4. Total exposure vs capital limit (max 3x leverage)
### Daily Review Checklist
- [ ] PnL by model and ensemble
- [ ] Win rate trending up or down?
- [ ] Any model breached risk limits?

- [ ] Model correlation still <0.7?
### Weekly Review Checklist
- [ ] Performance attribution (which models contributed?)
- [ ] Volatility regime analysis (high/low vol periods?)
- [ ] Risk metrics updated (Sharpe, Calmar, VaR)
- [ ] Outlier analysis (any unusual patterns?)
### Monthly Review Checklist
- [ ] Retrain models on latest 90 days
- [ ] Walk-forward validation on new checkpoints
- [ ] Replace underperforming models (bottom 2 if <0 Sharpe)
- [ ] Infrastructure health check (latency, uptime, data quality)

## Common Issues & Solutions
### Issue: Model Win Rate Drops Below 55%
**Symptoms**: Rolling 100-trade win rate <55%
**Action**:
1. Disable model immediately (automatic)
2. Review last 20 trades for patterns
3. Check if market regime changed (volatility spike?)
4. Paper trade for 50 trades before re-enabling
### Issue: Drawdown Exceeds 0.5%
**Symptoms**: Unrealized loss >0.5% on single model
**Action**:
1. Alert operations team (automatic)
2. Review open positions for correlation
3. Tighten stop losses by 20%
4. If reaches 1.0%, auto-flatten (kill switch)
### Issue: High Correlation Between Models (>0.7)
**Symptoms**: All models taking same trades
**Action**:
1. Calculate correlation matrix daily
2. Replace most correlated model with different epoch
3. Verify diversification across DQN/PPO and epochs
4. Consider reducing Tier 2 allocation temporarily
### Issue: Sharpe Ratio Drops Below 2.0
**Symptoms**: Rolling 50-trade Sharpe <2.0
**Action**:
1. Alert operations team (automatic)
2. Review if win rate or hold time changed
3. Check for increased volatility (widen stops)
4. Consider reducing position size by 50%
### Issue: Daily Loss Exceeds -3%
**Symptoms**: Combined ensemble loss >3% in 24 hours
**Action**:
1. Halt all trading immediately (automatic)
2. Flatten all open positions
3. Conduct post-mortem analysis (data quality? news event?)
4. Resume after 24-hour cooling period with half position sizes

## Position Sizing
### Base Position Size
- **Risk per trade**: 2% of allocated capital per model
- **Stop loss**: Dynamic based on ATR (Average True Range)
- **Max positions**: 3 per model simultaneously
### Example (Tier 1 Model with $14K Allocation)
- Per-trade risk: $14K × 2% = $280
- If stop loss = 10 ticks, position size = $280 / 10 = 28 contracts
- Max exposure: 28 contracts × 3 positions = 84 contracts ($2,352 margin)
### Scaling Rules
- **Win Streak (5+)**: Increase position size by 20%
- **Loss Streak (3+)**: Decrease position size by 30%
- **High Volatility (VIX >25)**: Decrease position size by 50%
- **Low Volatility (VIX <15)**: Use base position size
---
## Performance Expectations
### Conservative (Tier 1 Only, $50K Capital)
- **Monthly Return**: 26.6% = $13,300/month
- **Sharpe Ratio**: 8.45
- **Win Rate**: 60.0%
- **Max Drawdown**: 0.15%
### Balanced (Full Ensemble, $100K Capital)
- **Monthly Return**: 31.0% = $31,000/month

- **Win Rate**: 58.5%
- **Max Drawdown**: 0.21%
### Aggressive (Tier 2 Heavy, $100K Capital)

- **Sharpe Ratio**: 4.71
- **Win Rate**: 55.2%
- **Max Drawdown**: 0.35%
**Note**: These are backtested projections. Real-world performance will include:
- Transaction costs (2 ticks/trade)
- Slippage (1-3 ticks in fast markets)
- Technology downtime (99.5% target uptime)
- Regime changes (market conditions shift every 3-6 months)
**Realistic Expectations**: Expect 60-80% of backtested returns in live trading.
