A portfolio-level halt system for overheated markets.
The Adaptive Circuit Breaker detects cycle-top conditions and instructs trading algorithms to shift from accumulation to protection mode.
Circuit Breaker walkthrough.
The explainer shows how the safeguard detects overheated market conditions and shifts the portfolio from accumulation to preservation mode.
How it works.
The algorithm tracks leading cryptocurrencies against their 52-week ranges and incorporates sentiment data such as the Crypto Fear and Greed Index. When the market becomes broadly extended and sentiment is excessively positive, it activates a halt signal.
Once activated, the system remains in halt mode for a predefined duration. During that period, accumulation stops and the portfolio moves toward preservation.
Integration with strategies
- Investment / Swing Trade, Market Maker, and Market Neutral immediately cease new buys.
- Profit Taker prioritizes structured sell-offs of remaining positions.
- Accumulated profits are preserved in cash or stable assets until conditions normalize.
Safety before upside.
The circuit breaker removes emotional decision-making by enforcing a rules-based halt when market conditions become historically dangerous.
