How it works
Architecture
BearBreaker is built from two layers that stay separate on purpose. One layer decides what is worth watching. The other decides how to trade it. Keeping them apart is what keeps the whole thing steady.
Layer 01 / the picking layer
Intent Core
It defines the active universe and continuously broadcasts primary alignment signals, based on cost basis compared with live value. It also announces any shift in the constructs it has selected: new arrivals, expansions, contractions, and complete withdrawals.
- Macro pass: economic cycle, interest rates, liquidity
- Fundamentals pass: core financials, sector health, growth vs value
- Portfolio pass: diversification, volatility caps, correlation limits
- Verification pass: technical health, bid-ask spread, gap risk
Layer 02 / the execution layer
Trading layer
It keeps its own independent cost-basis ledger, the TCB, recording the real capital you have put to work. From that it produces secondary alignment signals and a long-term average that enforces its own discipline.
- Maintains the TCB ledger from real capital deployed
- Generates secondary alignment signals from TCB vs live value
- Honours control directives, cooldowns, and capital limits
- Submits orders only after fill-gated confirmation
Only constructs that live inside the Intent Core are ever acted upon. The system never invents its own universe.
How the shortlist is made
A quantitative scoring layer, not a hunch
Four passes, in order, every time. Only what survives all four enters the active universe that the Trading layer is allowed to touch.
Macro conditions
The wider backdrop is read first, so nothing gets shortlisted while the environment argues against it.
Company fundamentals
Structured analysis of the underlying business, not headlines or momentum chatter.
Portfolio construction logic
Candidates are judged by how they sit alongside everything else, not in isolation.
Verification checks
A final pass confirms the data and the reasoning hold up. Only what passes enters the active universe.
Priority sequence
The same eight steps, every single cycle
Nothing is skipped and nothing jumps the queue. Tap a step to read what happens inside it.
Honour pending directives
Listen for your commands first
Pause, flatten, and cancel requests always take precedence. You are never overridden by automation.
Alignment logic
The midpoint rule
Both primary and secondary signals ask the same question: how far has live value drifted from the relevant cost basis? When divergence exceeds the threshold, the position is driven toward the exact midpoint between cost basis and live value.
Value above cost basis
Contract toward the midpoint
Things look strong, so the position is trimmed back in a controlled way rather than chased.
Value below cost basis
Expand toward the midpoint
Things look weak, so the position grows, but only within the boundaries you set.
The first time it touches
With zero units held, only a controlled fraction of the gap is closed. It dips a toe in rather than diving.
Once a position exists
Full midpoint targeting switches on. Extra expansion from pure signals is only allowed while price sits below the current TCB average, which keeps entries low.
When the gate steps aside
Mirrored pulses and forced liquidations ignore that average gate, because following intent and getting out safely always come first.
