# Producer & Weight Tuning Guide

> Practical presets for different operator styles and regimes.

## Core principle

Weights are applied at the **domain** level:

* curator / onchain / tradfi / social / technical / events

They must sum to **1.0** (±0.001).

```yaml theme={null}
weights:
  curator: 0.25
  onchain: 0.25
  tradfi: 0.20
  social: 0.15
  technical: 0.10
  events: 0.05
```

## Presets

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Low-noise operator (curator-heavy, tight universe)">
    Use when:

    * you have strong discretionary edge
    * you want fewer, higher-conviction decisions
    * you mostly trade majors

    ```yaml theme={null}
    # 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
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="High-sensitivity scout (social + onchain heavy, broader universe)">
    Use when:

    * narrative rotations are frequent
    * you want early detection over precision
    * you’re operating a wider basket

    ```yaml theme={null}
    # 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
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="TradFi-aware (ETF flows + basis, BTC/ETH focus)">
    Use when:

    * ETF flows and basis/carry dominate price
    * you mostly trade BTC/ETH

    ```yaml theme={null}
    # 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
    ```
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Adjusting weights safely

<Steps>
  <Step title="Change one thing at a time">
    Adjust a single domain by ±0.05 and re-normalize to sum to 1.0.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your producers are actually producing">
    A domain weight is useless if the producer endpoints aren’t configured.

    ```bash theme={null}
    b1e55ed status
    b1e55ed producers list --json | jq
    b1e55ed brain --full
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paper trade first">
    Run at least **14 days** in paper mode before any live execution.
  </Step>
</Steps>

***

## 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:

```bash theme={null}
b1e55ed kill-switch --json | jq
```

Reset (only after investigation):

```bash theme={null}
b1e55ed kill-switch set 0
```

***

## Operational recommendation: paper trading minimum

```yaml theme={null}
execution:
  mode: paper
  paper_min_days: 14
```

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