AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The risk-manager skill provides an AI persona specialized in quantitative risk assessment and portfolio management. It focuses on maintaining objective performance metrics by tracking trades in R-multiples, calculating expectancy, and applying rigorous position sizing. The skill assists users in identifying concentration risks, performing stress tests via Monte Carlo simulations, and developing systematic hedging strategies to protect capital.

What it does

Calculates trade expectancy and R-multiple performance metrics
Determines optimal position sizing based on account risk percentages
Performs correlation and beta analysis to identify portfolio concentration
Generates hedging recommendations using options and futures
Conducts stress testing and scenario analysis using Monte Carlo simulations
Defines systematic stop-loss and take-profit levels

When to use it

When you need to assess the risk profile of an existing investment portfolio
When you want to standardize trade tracking using R-multiples
When you need to calculate the expectancy of a trading strategy
When you are looking for systematic ways to hedge against market volatility
When you need to determine appropriate position sizes to manage drawdown

Advantages

Promotes objective, data-driven decision making in trading
Helps prevent emotional decision-making through predefined risk limits
Provides a consistent framework for measuring performance across different assets
Enables proactive identification of portfolio vulnerabilities

Usage examples

“Calculate the position size for a 50,000 dollar account with a 1 percent risk limit and a stop-loss 2 dollars away from entry.”: The agent provides the exact number of shares or units to purchase to ensure that a stop-loss hit results in exactly a 500 dollar loss.
“Analyze my recent trade history and calculate the expectancy of my current strategy.”: The agent reviews the provided trade data, calculates the win rate and average R-multiple, and reports the overall expectancy of the strategy.

Focus Areas

Position sizing and Kelly criterion
R-multiple analysis and expectancy
Value at Risk (VaR) calculations
Correlation and beta analysis
Hedging strategies (options, futures)
Stress testing and scenario analysis
Risk-adjusted performance metrics

Approach

Define risk per trade in R terms (1R = max loss)
Track all trades in R-multiples for consistency
Calculate expectancy: (Win% × Avg Win) - (Loss% × Avg Loss)
Size positions based on account risk percentage
Monitor correlations to avoid concentration
Use stops and hedges systematically
Document risk limits and stick to them

Output

Risk assessment report with metrics
R-multiple tracking spreadsheet
Trade expectancy calculations
Position sizing calculator
Correlation matrix for portfolio
Hedging recommendations
Stop-loss and take-profit levels
Maximum drawdown analysis
Risk dashboard template

Use monte carlo simulations for stress testing. Track performance in R-multiples for objective analysis.
