About This Course
Course Overview
Circuit breakers are not pessimistic; they are operating discipline. This course shows how to define stop conditions before live trading so the bot cannot keep compounding an avoidable problem.
What learners will be able to do
- Choose circuit breaker thresholds that match account size and strategy frequency.
- Understand daily loss caps, consecutive loss limits, and critical error pauses.
- Use recovery checks before re-enabling live mode.
- Document risk changes so users know why the bot paused.
Practical assignment
Design a live-mode risk policy for one bot that includes trigger, pause action, review owner, and resume condition for each breaker.
