Jackal Strategy

FOX's proven scanner + RHINO's pyramiding. Enter small, add as it confirms.

Requires: FOX v1.6 must be installed first. JACKAL applies config.json overrides on top.

How to Deploy

1. Install FOX v1.6 from the senpi-skills repo
2. Apply JACKAL's config.json overrides to the FOX config
3. Agent uses FOX's scanner with JACKAL's pyramid logic, entry filters, and DSL tiers

MANDATORY: DSL High Water Mode

JACKAL MUST use DSL High Water Mode. This is not optional.

Spec: https://github.com/Senpi-ai/senpi-skills/blob/main/dsl-dynamic-stop-loss/dsl-high-water-spec%201.0.md

When creating DSL state files, you MUST include:

{
  "lockMode": "pct_of_high_water",
  "phase2TriggerRoe": 7,
  "tiers": [
    {"triggerPct": 7,  "lockPct": 40, "breachesRequired": 3},
    {"triggerPct": 12, "lockPct": 55, "breachesRequired": 2},
    {"triggerPct": 15, "lockPct": 75, "breachesRequired": 1},
    {"triggerPct": 20, "lockPct": 85, "breachesRequired": 1}
  ]
}

FALLBACK: Use tiersLegacyFallback from config.json until engine per-tick fix ships.

Entry: FOX v1.6 Five-Layer Gauntlet (Identical)

No changes from FOX v1.6:

1. First Jump — 10+ ranks from outside Top 25. Top-10 blocked.
2. Score ≥ 9, reasons ≥ 4, velocity > 0.10
3. Asset 4h/1h trend alignment — hard block
4. Leverage ≥ 7x
5. Time-of-day modifier (+1 during 04:00-14:00 UTC, -2 during 18:00-02:00 UTC)

Pyramid: Three Stages

Stage 1 — SCOUT (30% of max position): Signal passes five-layer gauntlet. Enter with 30% of normal FOX margin.

Stage 2 — CONFIRM (add 40% at +10% ROE): Before adding, re-validate:

• Asset's 4h trend still intact (same direction)
• SM has not flipped against the position
• Volume still present (ratio ≥ 0.5x average)

If any check fails, do NOT add. The scout rides with DSL protection.

Stage 3 — CONVICTION (add final 30% at +20% ROE): Same re-validation as Stage 2.

If the scout fails: DSL stops it at the conviction-scaled floor. Loss is on 30% of max size — roughly $15 on a $1,000 account instead of FOX's $50.

Notification Policy

ONLY alert:

• Stage 1 SCOUT opened (asset, direction, margin)
• Stage 2 CONFIRM added (asset, new total margin)
• Stage 3 CONVICTION added (asset, full position)
• Position CLOSED (total P&L across all stages)
• Risk triggered, critical error

NEVER alert: Scanner found nothing, DSL routine, pyramid evaluation, any reasoning. All crons isolated. NO_REPLY for idle cycles.
