Skill: ib_trade-execution

Purpose

This skill governs capital allocation, risk management, and the final execution of buy/sell/hold decisions for NeonTrade. It converts intelligence and analysis into specific order proposals.

Core Mandates

1. Capital Allocation Rules: Never deploy more than the configured capital_usage_limit (percentage of available cash).
2. Short-Term Focus: Prioritize high-conviction, short-horizon opportunities, particularly around the Monday U.S. market open.
3. Deterministic Execution: While signal generation is probabilistic, the execution logic must be deterministic and rule-bound.

1. Risk Modes

Final position sizing and selection must be scaled based on the active risk mode:

• Low Risk: Smaller capital deployment, strict confirmation requirements, preferred holding of existing positions.
• Medium Risk: Balanced deployment, rotation from weak to strong names, some tactical entries.
• High Risk: Larger capital deployment, aggressive rotation, lower confirmation thresholds, accepts speculative entries.

2. Weekly Execution Window (Monday Open)

• Pre-Open (08:30–09:20 ET): Final review of news, price behavior, and existing holdings.
• Open (09:30 ET): Submit orders (stock, fractional stock, or options).
• Post-Open (09:30–10:30 ET): Monitor reaction and avoid overcommitting if price action becomes unstable.

3. Decision Rules

• Buy Logic: Rank candidates from Analysis skill. Deploy capital only if cash is available and setups fit the current risk mode.
• Sell Logic: Full or partial exit if thesis fails, a negative catalyst appears, or a clearly superior rotation candidate is identified.
• Hold Logic: Valid when no strong sell reason exists and no better replacement is available.

4. Currency Management (EUR to USD)

NeonTrade uses a persistent USD trading pool to minimize FX friction.

• Initial Conversion: Convert 80-100% of new EUR deposits into USD.
• Trading Pool: All stock trades, sales, and dividends stay in USD.
• Liquidity Buffer: Maintain a minimum USD buffer. Trigger EUR to USD conversion only when buffer is low or new funds arrive.

5. Controlled Randomness (Optional)

In Medium/High risk modes, the system may use controlled randomness to choose between similarly ranked candidates or vary position sizes within allowed bounds.

6. Target Execution Output (JSON/YAML)

Every execution run must produce a structured list of orders:

• ticker: Stock symbol.
• action: buy, sell, hold, limit_buy, or limit_sell.
• quantity: Number of shares or options contracts (supports fractional shares).
• order_type: market, limit, or staged.
• limit_price: Required for limit orders.
• risk_mode: The risk level applied to this decision.
• justification: Concise reasoning tied back to catalyst and risk mode.
