The risk engine

Risk before return.

Six gates between a signal and an order, and the layers that decide how much, where the exits sit, and when the answer is not today.

Inside the dip sleeve

The risk engine

Risk, engineered.

Passing every check earns a company the right to be sized, nothing more. These layers decide how much, where the exits sit, and when the answer is not today.

Stops that fit
Each position’s stop is set by how much that company’s share normally moves, and rests with the broker — so it works even if MARBIN itself is offline. The exit is planned before the trade starts.
Sized by risk
A jumpier share gets a smaller position, so a stop-out always costs only a small, fixed share of capital.
Loss limits
After a bad day, no new buys until the next. After a deeper fall from its high, no new short-term buys until the account recovers — while long-term holdings stay invested, so they can take part in a recovery. After a run of losses, smaller positions.
Spread
Limits on how much can sit in any one sector, currency or exchange.
The market’s mood
Smaller positions when the broad market’s trend weakens or fear runs high; no new short-term buys in a steep, broad fall.
Before results
A short-term position is sold before its company reports results, which can make a share jump overnight. Long-term holdings keep theirs.

When markets fall

What MARBIN does, and what it doesn’t

  • It stays a long-term investor. MARBIN is invested in the market, so it falls when the market falls. Its safeguards are designed to limit how much and to stop buying into a fall — not to predict or avoid every fall.
  • Nothing is sold just because prices fall. Limits stop new buying. Each holding is protected by its own stop at the broker.
  • A stop is not a guaranteed price. If a share opens below its stop after news overnight, it sells at that lower price.
  • It doesn’t panic. Long-term holdings stay invested through a fall, so they can recover with the market.
  • Watched through the day. A separate guard checks every account through the trading day and pauses trading if anything doesn’t add up; MARBIN can be stopped instantly from a phone.
  • Shown, not just told. How MARBIN behaves in a crash is demonstrated in a simulator running its real rules — available to investors on request.
