Core principle

Weights are applied at the domain level:
  • curator / onchain / tradfi / social / technical / events
They must sum to 1.0 (±0.001).
weights:
  curator: 0.25
  onchain: 0.25
  tradfi: 0.20
  social: 0.15
  technical: 0.10
  events: 0.05

Presets

Use when:
  • you have strong discretionary edge
  • you want fewer, higher-conviction decisions
  • you mostly trade majors
# config/user.yaml
universe:
  symbols: ["BTC", "ETH", "SOL"]

weights:
  curator: 0.35
  onchain: 0.25
  tradfi: 0.25
  social: 0.05
  technical: 0.07
  events: 0.03

execution:
  mode: paper
  paper_min_days: 14
Use when:
  • narrative rotations are frequent
  • you want early detection over precision
  • you’re operating a wider basket
# config/user.yaml
universe:
  symbols: ["BTC","ETH","SOL","HYPE","SUI","AVAX","LINK","MATIC","WIF","BONK"]

weights:
  curator: 0.15
  onchain: 0.30
  tradfi: 0.05
  social: 0.30
  technical: 0.15
  events: 0.05

execution:
  mode: paper
  paper_min_days: 14
Use when:
  • ETF flows and basis/carry dominate price
  • you mostly trade BTC/ETH
# config/user.yaml
universe:
  symbols: ["BTC", "ETH"]

weights:
  curator: 0.15
  onchain: 0.15
  tradfi: 0.45
  social: 0.10
  technical: 0.10
  events: 0.05

execution:
  mode: paper
  paper_min_days: 14

Adjusting weights safely

1

Change one thing at a time

Adjust a single domain by ±0.05 and re-normalize to sum to 1.0.
2

Verify your producers are actually producing

A domain weight is useless if the producer endpoints aren’t configured.
b1e55ed status
b1e55ed producers list --json | jq
b1e55ed brain --full
3

Paper trade first

Run at least 14 days in paper mode before any live execution.

Kill switch levels (what they do)

The kill switch is an escalating restriction mechanism.
  • Level 0: off
  • Level 1–4: increasing restriction (configured via kill_switch.* thresholds)
Check status:
b1e55ed kill-switch --json | jq
Reset (only after investigation):
b1e55ed kill-switch set 0

Operational recommendation: paper trading minimum

execution:
  mode: paper
  paper_min_days: 14
Treat paper mode as a burn-in period: verify producer health, confirm signal cadence, and validate your weight profile before risking capital.
