# Drawdown Circuit Breaker ## Overview Evaluate whether the trader should take new trade risk today based on account-level realized P&L and recent terminal trade outcomes. This skill reads trader-memory-core thesis YAML files only. It produces a `circuit_breaker_decision` artifact that complements the market-side `exposure_decision` from exposure-coach. The circuit breaker is a recommendation and recordkeeping tool. It does not replace human judgment, and it does not enforce broker-side blocks or automated order rejection. ## When to Use - Before screening or sizing any new swing trade candidate - After a losing trade or partial trim to check whether a cooldown is active - During daily planning when trader-memory-core contains recent closed or partially closed positions - As a workflow gate before swing-opportunity-daily proceeds to candidate generation - When reviewing whether daily, weekly, or monthly loss limits have been breached ## Prerequisites - Python 3.9+ - Local trader-memory-core thesis YAML files, usually under `state/theses/` - Account size in dollars - No API keys or network access required ## Workflow ### Step 1: Read Trader Memory State Point the script at the thesis state directory: ```bash python3 skills/drawdown-circuit-breaker/scripts/check_circuit_breaker.py \ --state-dir state/theses \ --account-size 100000 \ --output-dir reports/ ``` The script scans every `th_*.yaml` file and reads realized P&L from each thesis `status_history[]` ledg
