Execute Trade (Orchestration — Ratatosk)

Overview

Chains the ADLC Build Loop adapted for investment operations. From market signal to executed trade with full audit trail.

When to Use

• Ratatosk has identified a trade opportunity
• Trade thesis is ready for evaluation
• End-to-end trade execution pipeline

The Sequence

Step 1: Trade Thesis (structured from market signal)
Step 2: STRIDE on trade execution
Step 3: Eval Council (HEAVY — investment-adapted)
Step 4: Risk Gate (HARD — position/drawdown/budget limits)
Step 5: Execute Trade (exchange API)
Step 6: Audit Log
Step 7: Stop Slop on report
Step 8: Report (Telegram)
Step 9: Feedback capture (post-settlement)

Step 1: Trade Thesis

• Skill: trade-thesis (Ratatosk domain PRD)
• Structure signal into: market context, conviction rationale (quantified), risk parameters, exit criteria, position sizing
• Reject ambiguous signals (no vague directional calls)

Step 2: Security Review

• Skill: security-review (STRIDE mode — trade execution)
• Spoofing: order spoofing, fake signals
• Tampering: parameter modification
• Repudiation: decision audit trail
• Info Disclosure: API key/position exposure
• DoS: exchange rate limiting
• Elevation: unauthorized mode escalation

Step 3: Eval Council — Full

• Skill: eval-council (HEAVY — 6 investment-adapted personas)
• Architect (Portfolio Strategy): Portfolio fit, correlation risk, concentration
• Skeptic (Bearish Thesis): Bear case, thesis inversion, what if wrong?
• Operator (Execution Feasibility): Liquidity, slippage, timing, market hours
• Executioner (Agent Capability): All parameters specified? Can agent execute?
• Security Auditor (Funds Safety): API exposure, position sanity, mode authorization
• First Principles (Thesis Soundness): Data-driven? Edge identified? Sound reasoning?

Step 4: Risk Gate (HARD)

This is a non-negotiable automated gate. No human override for limit breaches.

| Check | Limit | Action on Breach | |-------|-------|-----------------| | Position size | Per-strategy max | BLOCK trade | | Portfolio concentration | Max % in single asset | BLOCK trade | | Daily drawdown | Max daily loss limit | BLOCK all trading | | Budget | Remaining budget check | BLOCK trade | | Calibration | Strategy calibration score | Reduce size or BLOCK |

Step 5: Execute Trade

• Place order via exchange API
• Capture: order ID, entry price, size, timing, exchange, order type
• Set exit criteria (stop loss, take profit, time-based exit)

Step 6: Audit Log

Full structured audit entry:

{
  "pipeline_run_id": "uuid",
  "trade_id": "...",
  "thesis_summary": "...",
  "council_verdict": "approved",
  "risk_gate": "passed",
  "entry": { "price": 0, "size": 0, "time": "ISO8601", "exchange": "..." },
  "exit_criteria": { "stop_loss": 0, "take_profit": 0, "time_exit": "ISO8601" },
  "stride_summary": "...",
  "calibration_score": 0
}

Step 7: Stop Slop

• Skill: stop-slop (content mode on trade summary)
• Score the trade report on 5 dimensions
• Threshold: 35/50

Step 8: Report

• Deliver via Telegram
• Include: trade summary, thesis, risk parameters, council verdict

Step 9: Feedback Capture (Post-Settlement)

• After trade settles: predicted P&L vs actual
• Classify: thesis error, timing error, sizing error, execution error
• Feed into calibration and experiment loop
• Update signal weighting based on outcome

Escalation

| Trigger | Action | |---------|--------| | Risk limit breach | Immediate notification to Eric | | Council BLOCKED verdict | Trade cancelled, thesis logged for review | | Execution failure | Fix loop triggered, position check initiated | | Loss exceeds 2x expected | Post-mortem triggered, calibration review |
