# Max Volatility Survival And Profit Protocol

## Purpose

This protocol exists for the most difficult market state: maximum volatility.

The goal is not only to survive. The goal is to stay solvent, stay clear-headed, and use volatility to grow the account when the edge is real.

The user's physical and mental fatigue is a portfolio risk factor. Protecting the user's attention and family stability is part of protecting capital.

## Prime Directive

In maximum volatility, every decision must answer three questions in this order:

1. `Can the account survive being wrong?`
2. `Can the user mentally and physically execute the plan?`
3. `Is the expected reward large enough to justify the risk now?`
4. `What is the selloff cause, and is that cause still active?`

If any answer is no, the default action is `CASH`, `WAIT`, `TRIM`, or `REST MODE`.

## Volatility Regimes

- `NORMAL`: normal exposure allowed.
- `ELEVATED`: smaller size, more cash, tighter review.
- `MAX VOLATILITY`: only A-grade setups; leverage requires explicit approval conditions.
- `DISORDERLY`: defense first; no new risk unless hedging or very short tactical trade.
- `UNTRADEABLE`: cash/rest mode; wait for structure to return.

## Daily Damage Limits

Use these default account-level guardrails until the user provides custom limits:

- `-1% combined account`: yellow warning; reduce complexity and check concentration.
- `-2% combined account`: defense mode; stop adding to losers; trim weakest risk.
- `-3% combined account`: no new risk trades; only exits, hedges, or cash decisions.
- `-5% combined account`: emergency review; preserve capital and stop discretionary trading.

For main account only:

- Leveraged/inverse ETF loss should be capped before entry in KRW.
- A failed SOXL/SOXS trade should not be immediately reversed unless the report marks a clear regime flip.

These are process guardrails, not guaranteed loss limits.

## Survival Stack

During maximum volatility, decisions follow this stack:

1. Cash readiness.
2. Position concentration and correlation.
3. News/filing/earnings risk.
4. Broad market regime.
5. Semiconductor leadership or breakdown.
6. Holding thesis damage vs price damage.
7. Opportunity-cost rotation.
8. Tax-loss reset or sell-then-reenter only if it improves expected value.
9. Tactical long/short trade only if the first eight checks pass.

## Profit Stack

When volatility creates opportunity, prioritize:

1. Strongest relative-strength leaders.
2. Oversold rebound only after stabilization.
3. SOXL when semiconductor leadership repairs.
4. SOXS when semiconductor breakdown is confirmed.
5. Fast day trades only when target, stop, time stop, size, and exit-by time are defined.
6. Cash after profit if the next setup is not ready.

## Maximum Volatility Actions

Allowed actions:

- `SURVIVE`: cash, trim, reduce exposure, avoid new trades.
- `DEFEND`: SOXS or inverse/hedge only with stop and size, main account only.
- `ATTACK`: SOXL, high-RS stocks, or breakout candidates only when market structure supports risk.
- `HARVEST`: take profit at target; move ticker to re-entry tracker.
- `RESET`: exit or skip and wait for a clean setup.
- `REST`: no new trades unless emergency alert fires.

## Forced Simplicity

In high stress, every report should end with:

- `Do now`: maximum 3 actions.
- `Do not do`: maximum 3 actions.
- `Next check`: one time or one trigger.

If the report needs more than 3 actions, the market is probably too complex for full exposure.

## Leverage And Inverse Rules

SOXL and SOXS are tools for main account only.

- `SOXL`: use when semiconductor repair/leadership is confirmed.
- `SOXS`: use when semiconductor breakdown or failed rebound is confirmed.
- Both require target 1, target 2, stop, max loss KRW, time stop, and exit-by time.
- Default status is `NO OVERNIGHT`.
- No averaging down in leveraged/inverse ETFs.
- No revenge switch from SOXL to SOXS or SOXS to SOXL without a regime-flip label.

## Family And Fatigue Rule

If market participation is damaging the user's sleep, health, or family stability, the system should reduce trade frequency and complexity before increasing risk.

Possible modes:

- `FOCUS MODE`: one key decision.
- `DEFENSE MODE`: reduce exposure.
- `REST MODE`: no new trades except emergency events.

The account is meant to support life, not consume it.

## Required Report Output

Every max-volatility report should include:

- Selloff cause stack: macro, earnings, liquidity, positioning, technical.
- Whether the cause is still intensifying or fading.
- Volatility regime.
- Combined account damage status.
- Main/sub account risk split.
- Tradability: tradable, fast-trade-only, defensive, or untradeable.
- Survival action.
- Profit action.
- SOXL/SOXS direction.
- Cash requirement.
- Top 1-3 opportunities only.
- Top 1-3 risks only.
- Fatigue mode.
- Do now / Do not do / Next check.
