Approach
Most systems overtrade. Every trade carries cost — commissions, slippage, spread. We filter aggressively so only high-conviction, trend-aligned setups reach execution.
Max drawdown matters more than total return. Style-aware guard rails enforce daily loss limits, consecutive loss breakers, and automatic position flattening before damage compounds.
Win rate is vanity. We target setups where winners substantially exceed losers. A strategy that wins 50% of the time with 18:1 payoff ratio outperforms one that wins 80% with 1:1.
Every strategy is validated on out-of-sample data from the actual execution feed. Walk-forward analysis, not curve fitting. If it doesn't generalize, it doesn't trade.
No strategy works in every market condition. Directional strategies profit in trends. Premium strategies profit in ranges. The system deploys the right approach for the environment.
An edge that doesn't survive fees, slippage, and spread isn't an edge. Every strategy is stress-tested with realistic transaction costs before it touches live capital.
Instruments
Prime Directive
Every order passes through style-aware guard rails before execution. Swing trades, scalps, and premium strategies each have their own risk envelope — daily loss caps, consecutive loss breakers, and mandatory stop placement.
The kill switch monitors portfolio P&L in real time. If the daily loss limit is breached, the system flattens all positions and halts the runner. No override. No exceptions. Survival is not optional.

Philosophy
The hardest part of trading isn't finding an edge — it's following it. Hesitation kills entries. Ego holds losers. Greed skips exits. Revenge doubles down after drawdowns.
RoboCork exists because humans are the weakest link in their own trading plan. The system generates signals from code, validates them against guard rails, and executes without negotiation.
No opinions. No feelings. No head required.
