Two-Level Risk System
Risk is configured at two levels:
- Global settings — apply to all patterns unless overridden
- Per-pattern settings — independent sizing for each of the 5 patterns
Configurable Fields
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|
| Minimum trade amount | $10 | Floor on any single trade |
| Maximum trade amount | $100 | Cap on any single trade |
| Risk level | Medium | Internal multiplier (Low / Medium / High) |
Risk Levels
| Level | Multiplier | Best For |
|---|
| Low | 0.5× | New users, high-risk patterns (Contrarian) |
| Medium | 1.0× | Standard usage, balanced patterns |
| High | 2.0× | Experienced users, high-confidence patterns |
Risk level adjusts the internal sizing multiplier applied within the min/max bounds. It does not override your maximum trade amount.
Recommended Settings by Pattern
| Pattern | Suggested Risk Level | Notes |

| Pre-News | Medium | Good confidence, binary outcome |
| Quick Flip | Medium | Short duration trades, higher frequency |
| Contrarian | Low | High asymmetric upside, higher failure rate |
