Risk Overlay · Q4 2026

Don't let your bot blow up your account.

A strategy that passed the gates can still drift. Costs change, a regime turns, a parameter gets fat-fingered — and a profitable bot quietly becomes the one that gives it all back. The Risk Overlay watches your live deployment and tells you the moment its behavior stops matching what we validated.

• Drawdown breach alerts. The instant live drawdown exceeds the validated envelope, you hear about it.
• Behavior drift. When live trade frequency, win rate, or hold time diverges from the backtest, you get flagged.
• Kill-switch ready. Wire the alert to halt trading before a bad week becomes a blown account.
