Trading Risk Gate

Use this skill before generating any candidate list or trade-plan style output.

Risk gate states

• FULL_RISK_ALLOWED: broad participation, favorable trend, no major immediate event risk.
• SELECTIVE_ONLY: mixed evidence; only strongest setups, smaller size, tighter review.
• CASH_PRIORITY: risk-off or deteriorating breadth; no new discretionary swing candidates.
• RESEARCH_ONLY: missing data or uncertain regime; research and journaling only.

Required checks

1. Market breadth.
2. Uptrend participation.
3. Distribution/top-risk signals.
4. Macro/earnings event risk.
5. Portfolio heat / current exposure if available.
6. Data quality/freshness.

Output

  state: SELECTIVE_ONLY
  confidence: medium
  reasons:
    - ...
  blocked_actions:

Do not use the risk gate to make an execution recommendation. It is a decision-support gate for the human trader.
