Good automation does not remove risk. It makes risk explicit. Start by defining maximum exposure per trade and strict session guardrails so one bad sequence cannot wipe out your week.
Use cooldown logic after wins and losses to avoid revenge-pattern behavior. Let the bot skip low-quality windows when structure is weak instead of forcing volume.
Track reason-level PnL by strategy. If a particular close reason consistently underperforms, tighten it or disable it. The best systems evolve from evidence, not intuition.
