How Enki Handles Market Drawdowns: Fortress Guard and Drawdown Limits

The risk management system that keeps losses from becoming catastrophic.

📅 April 28, 20261 min read

Daily Drawdown Limit: 3%

If Enki's trades lose 3% of the portfolio value in a single calendar day, all trading stops. No new signals, no new entries.

This prevents the "revenge trading" pattern — where a bad morning leads to oversized afternoon bets that blow up the account.

Portfolio Drawdown Limit: 12%

If total portfolio drawdown from peak reaches 12%, Enki stops all trading until the account recovers.

A 12% drawdown is painful but recoverable. A 50% drawdown takes a 100% gain just to break even.

Fortress Guard (Guardian Mode)

For extra protection, Guardian mode requires your explicit approval before any trade executes.

Combined Protection

With both limits and Guardian mode:

  • Rules prevent bad mechanical decisions
  • Automatic circuit breakers for bad market conditions
  • Human veto power for any individual trade
  • **Enable Fortress Guard** → [socialmate.studio/enki](https://socialmate.studio/enki)
