Risk & Safety

The Risk & Safety Engine is deterministic. Generative AI cannot override sizing, limits, news blocks, kill switch, or final recheck. Martingale / recovery doubling style behaviors are forced off by product policy.

Risk settings to review first

• ▸Per-trade risk and minimum R:R threshold
• ▸Daily / weekly loss and trade-count limits
• ▸Cooldown and portfolio / concurrent exposure caps
• ▸News protection windows and fail-closed behavior
• ▸Kill switch state (keep ON until you understand the panel)
• ▸Execution mode (Advisory recommended for first sessions)

News & Macro setup

• ▸MT5: enable WebRequest allow-list domains listed in MT5 Setup; calendar safety uses the terminal calendar when available.
• ▸cTrader: calendar provider is not bound — protection ON fails closed without data.
• ▸Headlines are informational; calendar/news safety gates decide blocks.

Execution validation

Before any order path, GoldMind re-checks decision validity, risk, news, data quality, and terminal permissions (Algo Trading / account expert allowance). If anything fails, the path stops.
