The Cognitive Circuit Breaker
Manual discretion introduces emotional tilt, while fully automated execution misses "Human Alpha"—the subtle, unquantified patterns a seasoned trader perceives. To bridge this gap cleanly, BayesianPivot runs a unified biometric and human feedback system:
- PsychologyEngine: Automatically triggers direct Telegram polling queries during drawdown or after consecutive wins. The trader's manual responses and latency in answering are evaluated for cognitive drift.
- BiometricEngine: Monitors physical indicators (heart-rate variability and stress indicators) during active sessions.
- Dynamic Sizing Penalty: If consecutive losses occur or elevated biometric metrics indicate emotional tilt, the system automatically applies a 0.5x sizing penalty, scaling down position risk dynamically. This protects the account capital until biological metrics return to baseline.
