SKILL: strategy-deployer

Purpose

Deploy trading strategies safely using an explicit lifecycle: validate → risk-check → paper deploy → monitor → (guarded) live promote → scale/stop.

When to Use

A strategy is ready after backtesting.

Moving from research to paper trading.

Promoting a paper-tested strategy to live trading (guarded).

Inputs

strategy_spec (required, object|string): rules, signals, markets, timeframes.

mode (optional, enum: paper|live, default: paper)

risk_limits (required, object): max risk per trade, max drawdown, exposure caps.

validation_artifacts (optional, object): backtest report, paper performance stats.

approval (optional, string): explicit user/Morpheus approval reference for live.

Steps

1. Verify prerequisites: - strategy has a written hypothesis and defined invalidation conditions - backtest/paper artifacts exist (as applicable) 2. Run risk checks: - enforce risk per trade - enforce exposure caps - enforce max drawdown thresholds - ensure kill-switch is configured 3. Deploy to paper (default): - start with small allocation - emit logs for every signal and order 4. Monitor and record: - trades - slippage - drawdown - regime notes 5. Promote to live only if: - explicit mode=live - explicit approval is present - preflight checks pass 6. Define rollback/stop rules and execute them on trigger.

Validation

Paper mode produces complete logs and trade history entries.

Live mode is blocked unless approval + flags are present.

Risk constraints are enforced before every order.

Stop conditions are tested (kill-switch works).

Output

deployment: "paper|live"
strategy: ""
markets: ["..."]
risk_limits: { "...": "..." }
status: "deployed|blocked|stopped"
audit_events: ["signal_detected", "risk_check_passed", "order_submitted", "order_filled", "trade_recorded"]

Safety Rules

Never bypass risk checks to “capture opportunity”.

Never deploy live without explicit approval and a paper validation phase.

Never imply profit certainty; report performance as historical/conditional.

Example

Paper deploy:

strategy_spec: “Mean reversion in range regime, 5m timeframe.”

mode: paper

Output: deployment report + monitoring checklist + stop triggers.

Paper deploy:
