How Smooth Brains strategy Works

Step 1 is a protective layer. When required upstream signals are missing or the regime is unfavorable, the system blocks new exposure.

The core signal layer emits OPEN/CLOSE intents with a defined alignment policy. Backtests and publishing use deterministic intent backfills so results are reproducible.

A complementary pattern layer captures moves outside the core model’s active signal windows. A priority merge prevents interference: patterns are gated behind a “core is quiet” condition.

Step 3 executes on Hyperliquid with liquidation safety rails. Adaptive exits include a trailing stop ratchet and partial scale-out at defined R-multiples. You can pause whenever you want.

The champion runs continuously, combining macro gates with a core intent model and a complementary pattern engine. Signals are merged with a strict priority rule (patterns only fire when the core model is quiet), then passed to execution with adaptive exits.

Before sizing a trade, the system reads the current market regime and applies rules-based controls that raise or lower how much risk it is willing to take. These controls are deterministic — fixed rules, not AI predictions. They don't replace the signal; they govern how aggressively it is executed.

Before any trade executes, our system performs comprehensive risk checks: outstanding fees, account balance, agent approval, trading status, position limits, and more. If any check fails, the trade is blocked. Your capital is protected at every step.

Position sizes are calculated deterministically: the system takes a fixed risk budget, divides it by the distance to the stop, and then caps the result with exposure limits. Signal conviction and your risk profile (DEFENSIVE/BALANCED/OFFENSIVE/YOLO) feed into that calculation. There is no AI deciding how big your trades are.

Trades execute automatically on Hyperliquid DEX, a leading decentralized exchange. We use perpetuals with champion-aligned exposure caps and liquidation safety rails (venue liquidation buffer monitoring + automatic de-risking). Orders are placed as market orders with 2% slippage tolerance, and we verify execution before logging the trade.

We don't log trades until we've verified execution on Hyperliquid. Our system retries up to 5 times (10 seconds) to confirm the order filled. Once verified, the trade is permanently logged in our database with full execution details. This creates an immutable audit trail you can review anytime.
