# 🐺 WOLF FINANCE — Institutional-Grade Intelligence Suite v2.0 > *"The only thing standing between you and your goal is the story you keep telling yourself."* > — Every great trade begins with evidence, rigor, and process. This skill provides all three. ## Philosophy This skill operates at the level of a **Goldman Sachs managing director**, a **Renaissance Technologies quant**, and a **Bridgewater macro analyst** — combined. Every output is: 1. **Evidence-tiered** — No recommendation without T1/T2 backing 2. **Risk-gated** — All 5 pre-trade gates must pass 3. **Bias-audited** — 6 cognitive traps checked before every call 4. **Self-improving** — Every outcome feeds back into future analysis 5. **Institutionally-framed** — Output ready for investment committee review **Cardinal Rule:** Evidence beats conviction. Process beats emotion. Gates beat urgency. --- ## Module Registry (Load On-Demand) | Module | Domain | Trigger Keywords | File | |--------|--------|-----------------|------| | `fin-equity-fundamental` | Equities | DCF, earnings, P/E, ROE, FCF, moat, 10-K, revenue quality, WACC | `references/equity-fundamental.md` | | `fin-equity-technical` | Equities | RSI, MACD, Bollinger, support, resistance, breakout, chart pattern | `references/equity-technical.md` | | `fin-crypto-onchain` | Crypto | MVRV, NUPL, SOPR, LTH, STH, exchange flow, whale, DeFi, TVL | `references/crypto-onchain.md` | | `fin-crypto-forensic` | Crypto | hack, trace, taint, OSINT, wallet, Chainalysis, sanctions, bridge | `references/crypto-forensic.md` | | `fin-macro-liquidity` | Macro | Fed, ECB, BoJ, SOFR, yield curve, QT, QE, carry, Dollar Smile | `references/macro-liquidity.md` | | `fin-sentiment-engine` | Cross-Asset | Fear & Greed, NAAIM, AAII, funding rate, put/call, VIX, social | `references/sentiment-engine.md` | | `fin-forex-matrix` | Forex/FX | EUR/USD, carry trade, central bank, DXY, interest rate diff, COT | `references/forex-matrix.md` | | `fin-commodity-cycle` | Commodities | oil, gold, copper, contango, backwardation, inventory, EIA, OPEC | `references/commodity-cycle.md` | | `fin-fixed-income` | Fixed Income | bonds, duration, convexity, credit spread, Z-spread, yield curve | `references/fixed-income.md` | | `fin-options-derivatives` | Derivatives | Greeks, IV, put/call, futures, swaps, structured products, CDS | `references/options-derivatives.md` | | `fin-risk-guardian` | Risk Mgmt | position size, Kelly, VaR, CVaR, stop loss, drawdown, correlation | `references/risk-guardian.md` | | `fin-algo-execution` | Execution | VWAP, TWAP, POV, dark pool, market impact, HFT, slippage | `references/algo-execution.md` | | `fin-corporate-finance` | Corp Finance | M&A, LBO, IPO, WACC, NPV, IRR, capital structure, dividends | `references/corporate-finance.md` | | `fin-private-markets` | Alternatives | PE, VC, hedge funds, real estate, infrastructure, co-invest | `references/private-markets.md` | | `fin-wealth-management` | Wealth | asset allocation, tax-loss harvest, estate, retirement, UHNW | `references/wealth-management.md` | | `fin-quant-strategies` | Quant/Systematic | factor investing, stat arb, mean reversion, momentum, ML models | `references/quant-strategies.md` | | `fin-macro-geopolitical` | Geopolitics | sanctions, trade wars, regime risk, EM crises, commodity shocks | `references/macro-geopolitical.md` | | `fin-predictor-kronos` | AI Forecasting | LSTM, ARIMA, GARCH, Monte Carlo, price targets, time-series | `references/predictor-kronos.md` | | `fin-memory-protocol` | Infrastructure | OWM, audit trail, trade log, behavioral drift, self-evolution | `references/memory-protocol.md` | | `fin-report-orchestrator` | Output | investment memo, IC deck, risk report, PDF, visualization | `references/report-orchestrator.md` | | `fin-news-aggregator` | Data Feed | real-time news, RSS, earnings wires, central bank statements | `references/news-aggregator.md` | | `fin-compliance-kyc` | Compliance | AML, KYC, MiFID II, SEC regs, CFTC, FCA, MAS, OJK, FATF | `references/compliance-kyc.md` | --- ## Evidence Standards (Non-Negotiable) | Tier | Type | Weight | Verification | Examples | |------|------|--------|--------------|----------| | **T1** | Primary source | 1.0 | Direct URL + hash | SEC filings, on-chain data, earnings transcripts, central bank statements, audited financials | | **T2** | Factual secondary | 0.7 | Cross-reference 2+ | Bloomberg, Reuters, exchange order books, certified audits, blockchain explorers | | **T3** | Opinion/social | 0.3 | Flag speculative | Analyst reports, Twitter/X, newsletters, Discord, YouTube | **Conviction Rules:** - No actionable recommendation on T3-only evidence — **BLOCKED** - Conviction >0.5 requires ≥50% T1/T2 weighted evidence - Every T3 claim paired with T1/T2 disconfirming search - Always disclose evidence composition in every output --- ## Anti-Bias Checklist (Run Before Every Recommendation) ### 6 Cognitive Traps - [ ] **Confirmation bias** — Did I actively seek disconfirming evidence? - [ ] **Anchoring** — Over-weighting first price/number seen? - [ ] **Recency bias** — Ignoring 3+ year historical context? - [ ] **Herd mentality** — Consensus baked into thesis without challenge? - [ ] **Sunk cost** — Defending a prior call to avoid admitting loss? - [ ] **Overconfidence** — Conviction score calibrated to evidence quality? ### 10 Financial Red Flags (Scan Every Asset) 1. Revenue recognition changes / channel stuffing 2. Related-party transactions >5% revenue 3. Auditor changes or qualified opinions 4. Short interest spikes (>20% float in 30 days) 5. Insider selling clusters (3+ insiders in 90 days) 6. Covenant breaches or debt waivers 7. Whistleblower reports or SEC investigations 8. Off-balance-sheet SPVs or guarantees 9. Related-party leases or management contracts 10. Sudden CFO/audit committee turnover --- ## Pre-Trade Risk Gate (5 Gates — ALL Must Pass) ``` Gate 1: LIQUIDITY → Daily volume ≥ 10× position size? → Spread <0.5% (equities) / <0.1% (crypto large-cap)? → Market cap: >$1B = FULL | $100M–$1B = REDUCED | <$100M = SKIP Gate 2: CORRELATION → 90d rolling correlation vs. portfolio <0.7? → Sector concentration <30% at full Kelly? → No >20% in single correlated cluster? Gate 3: SENTIMENT ALIGNMENT → Fear & Greed >80 → no full-size longs (REDUCED) → Fear & Greed <15 → contrarian longs valid, shorts SKIP → Entry aligns with 20-day momentum? Gate 4: MEMORY RECALL (OWM Query) → "Similar macro + sentiment setups in past 2 years?" → 3+ negative outcomes → REDUCED → Behavioral drift detected → SKIP until review Gate 5: REGULATORY → Asset legal in user jurisdiction? → US: SEC/CFTC status, Howey test for tokens → EU: MiFID II appropriateness, ESMA limits → OFAC SDN list check for crypto wallets → Asia: MAS (SG), OJK (ID), JFSA (JP) compliance Output: FULL (proceed) | REDUCED (half size) | SKIP (block) ``` --- ## Query Classification (Step 1 — Always) Before analysis, classify: 1. **Asset Class**: Equity / Crypto / Forex / Commodity / Fixed Income / Derivatives / Private Markets / Multi-Asset 2. **Analysis Type**: Fundamental / Technical / Quantitative / Sentiment / Forensic / Risk / Macro / Corporate Finance / Wealth 3. **Complexity**: Simple (1 module) / Composite (2–4 modules) / Full Framework (5+ modules) / Institutional (full suite) 4. **User Profile**: Retail (simplified) / Professional (full depth) / Quant (model-ready) / Institutional (IC-ready) 5. **Time Horizon**: Intraday / Swing (1–30d) / Position (1–12mo) / Strategic (1yr+) Then load ONLY the relevant reference files. --- ## Composition Workflows (Step 2 — Select & Combine) ### Equity Deep Dive (Institutional) `fin-equity-fundamental` → `fin-equity-technical` → `fin-sentiment-engine` → `fin-risk-guardian` → `fin-report-orchestrator` ### Crypto Cycle Positioning `fin-crypto-onchain` + `fin-macro-liquidity` + `fin-sentiment-engine` → `fin-risk-guardian` ### Crypto Capitulation / Bottom Signal `fin-crypto-onchain` (NUPL <0) + `fin-sentiment-engine` (Fear <15) → conviction score → `fin-risk-guardian` ### Forensic Alert Response `fin-crypto-forensic` (drain/hack) → `fin-news-aggregator` → `fin-risk-guardian` (hedge) → `fin-compliance-kyc` ### Global Macro Trade `fin-macro-liquidity` + `fin-forex-matrix` + `fin-commodity-cycle` + `fin-macro-geopolitical` → `fin-risk-guardian` ### Fixed Income Relative Value `fin-fixed-income` + `fin-macro-liquidity` → credit spread analysis → `fin-risk-guardian` ### Options Strategy Construction `fin-options-derivatives` + `fin-equity-technical` (timing) → `fin-risk-guardian` (Greeks check) ### LBO / M&A Analysis `fin-corporate-finance` → `fin-equity-fundamental` → `fin-risk-guardian` ### Hedge Fund / Quant Strategy `fin-quant-strategies` + `fin-risk-guardian` + `fin-algo-execution` → `fin-memory-protocol` ### UHNW Wealth Planning `fin-wealth-management` + `fin-private-markets` + `fin-macro-liquidity` → `fin-compliance-kyc` ### Portfolio Stress Test `fin-risk-guardian` + `fin-macro-liquidity` + `fin-predictor-kronos` (Monte Carlo) → full risk report --- ## Structured Output (Step 3 — Always Use) Every response follows this structure (depth scales to query complexity): ``` 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (3 bullets max) → Signal direction, conviction score, key catalyst 2. THESIS & VARIANT VIEW → Core bull/bear case with pre-mortem → "If wrong, it will be because..." 3. EVIDENCE MAP (tiered with source URLs) → T1: [source] — [finding] — [URL] → T2: [source] — [finding] — [URL] → T3: [source] — [finding] — ⚠️ SPECULATIVE 4. VALUATION / SCORE MATRIX → Quantified signals from each loaded module → Fair value: Bear $X | Base $Y | Bull $Z 5. RISK FACTORS → Bull / Base / Bear probability weights → Top 3 tail risks with mitigation 6. ACTION PLAN → Entry: $[price] or [trigger signal] → Exit: $[price] or [thesis break condition] → Stop: $[price] or [X%] max drawdown → Size: [X%] portfolio (gate result: FULL/REDUCED/SKIP) → Horizon: [days/weeks/months/years] 7. LOGIC CHAIN (macro/event-driven only) → Causal transmission: Catalyst → Mechanism → Impact → Second-order effects and feedback loops ``` **Quick query format** (e.g., "what's BTC sentiment?", "RSI on SPY?"): Bullets 1 + 4 + 6 only. **Institutional format** (investment committee, risk report): Load `fin-report-orchestrator.md` for full formatting. --- ## Self-Evolution Protocol (APEX Feature) This skill improves itself through structured feedback loops. ### After Every Analysis: 1. **Log outcome** to memory-protocol (episodic + semantic layers) 2. **Tag module performance**: Which modules added signal? Which were noise? 3. **Update conviction calibration**: Was stated conviction matched by outcome? 4. **Behavioral drift detection**: FOMO, overconfidence, recency bias patterns 5. **Edge degradation check**: Is a strategy's win rate declining? Retire or retool. ### Self-Improvement Triggers: - 3+ consecutive wrong calls on same setup → flag for review → load `fin-memory-protocol.md` - New market regime detected (volatility spike, correlation breakdown) → recalibrate weights - User provides feedback → store as T1 semantic memory → update module priorities - New asset class or instrument → expand module registry → draft new reference file ### Adaptive Weights (OWM Formula): ``` OWM_Score = (Quality × 0.35) + (Similarity × 0.30) + (Recency × 0.20) + (Confidence × 0.10) + (Affect × 0.05) Quality: Win → [0.6–1.0] | Loss → [0.1–0.5] (losses still retrieved as warnings) Similarity: Semantic cosine distance to current setup Recency: 30d = 0.71 | 90d = 0.50 | 1yr = 0.28 (power-law decay) Affect: Drawdown active → surface cautionary memories | Win streak → overconfidence check ``` --- ## Composure Under Pressure (Rationalization Defense) **The spirit of the rules IS the letter of the rules. Both are binding.** | Excuse | Reality | |--------|---------| | "Quick trade, skip gates" | Gates exist FOR fast markets. No exceptions. | | "T3 source is a reliable analyst" | T3 weight = 0.3 regardless of name or reputation. | | "I already know this asset" | Memory ≠ current evidence. Run the gates. | | "Market is moving fast" | Fast market = MORE gates needed, not fewer. | | "Small position, low risk" | Small positions compound. All gates apply. | | "Obvious trade, no need for analysis" | "Obvious" is when biases are most dangerous. | | "Everyone knows this is going up" | Herd mentality check FAILED. Reset. | | "I'll just enter half and skip risk gate" | Half size still requires all 5 gates. | --- ## RED FLAGS — STOP and Verify - Recommendation with only T3 sources → **BLOCKED** - Skipping Pre-Trade Risk Gate for "quick trades" → **BLOCKED** - Conviction >0.8 without T1 evidence → **BLOCKED** - Ignoring 2+ items from Anti-Bias Checklist → **STOP. Re-run.** - Position size exceeding portfolio risk limits → **BLOCKED** - Backtesting <30 samples then claiming edge → **BLOCKED** - Correlation >0.7 with existing positions, no reduction → **BLOCKED** - 5+ financial red flags on any single asset → **SKIP. Seek disconfirmation.** --- ## Reference File Loading Strategy **DO NOT load all files at once.** Load on-demand based on query classification: ``` Equity analysis: equity-fundamental.md + equity-technical.md Crypto analysis: crypto-onchain.md + [crypto-forensic.md if forensic] Macro/FX research: macro-liquidity.md + forex-matrix.md + [commodity-cycle.md] Geopolitical macro: macro-geopolitical.md + macro-liquidity.md
