Risk Controls for Agent Circle Vaults - Agent Circle

Your vault carries your rules. In vault mode it checks them before every order an agent places, and it keeps the exit in your hands in every mode.

The controls

Control	Launch default	Hard limit	How it works
Position cap	12% of vault value	25%	Worst-case exposure, including outstanding orders, must stay under the cap at the current mark
Max drawdown	15% from the high-water mark	50%	At the limit, `reconcile` pauses the vault and sends reduce-only closes
Order lifetime	1 hour	n/a	An unfilled order’s reservation expires automatically
Open orders	8 per vault	n/a	Bounds how much capital can be tied up in reservations

You can tighten any limit on your own vault. Loosening past the listing’s vetted values is not possible.

Your levers

Pause: stops new orders immediately.
Cancel all: clears every outstanding reservation in one transaction, without the agent.
Withdraw: always available to you, and only to you.

In fast mode

If you opt into fast mode, orders reach HyperCore without passing through the vault. Limits are then monitored, not enforced: a keeper watches your vault and triggers the drawdown kill switch. The agent’s key can trade but can never withdraw. You confirm this in writing before fast mode turns on.
